It's the offseason, and I'm snowed in right now, so I thought I would make a post about a guy who really doesn't get that much focus. I think that most 49er fans were disappointed with his play this season. He had some good plays, mostly near the end of the season, but was not overly consistent. It seemed to me that once he was named the starter, his attitude changed. He made some big plays in his rookie season, and looked a lot faster as well. This past year, he looked a lot slower. Another thing that stands out to me, is he seems to have poor body language sometimes. I see him celebrate when we score TD's, but sometimes he looks to me to be unhappy on the field, like hes mad that the ball wasn't thrown to him or something. That's just me though. I think were going to have a 3 way battle for that 2nd reciever spot this year. And I'm not entirely sure that he's going to beat out hill and Jones. What do you guys think?

I never thought I would say it but I think Morgan has better hands than Crabtree. I'm sick of Crabtrees bounce it up into the air garbage when it hits his hands. Plus Morgan runs better routes. Not the lazy ones Crabtree runs. And his head is more into the game and he tries. He doesn't pout like Crabtree when Alex is in the game. I'd rather throw to Morgan even though he is the slowest WR in the league.

Come on Diego he's not that slow? I doubt Crabs is any faster. Fastest guy on offense can't even catch so speed is overated is some cases.

I've never seen a guy have a 25 yard head start in the open field in the NFL and get caught from behind except for him...

I already know what play you're talking and if you look closely it was shoe string tackle. One inch and he's in.

Hard to argue this.

Except for Morgan being the slowest WR in the league. He's not fast, but certainly not the slowest. You and your melodrama.

The problem with Morgan is consistency. He's not a bad WR at all, but he lacks consistent separation that allow him to catch more passes.
