Oh really? Maybe his reluctance to participate etc. is because he's not going to put his time and effort in for a team that has given him nothing but chaos and incompetence at QB and coaching.
It is possible, but pure speculation on your part and for self-serving reasons.
(reasons being to solidify your personal opinions of QB)
One thing seems clear... no matter the reasons, Crabtree having such an alleged attitude is not acceptable. You get paid and committed to, you go out and play hard for whoever is under center or on the sideline coaching.
Other elite receivers like Calvin Johnson seem to be fine with lackluster QB play. And you don't here him complaining about his QB play. Larry Fitzgerald had awful QB play last year but still seemed to produce. A competent QB makes life a lot easier for a WR but it shouldn't be a make or break situation.
We finished 22nd in pass attempts last season. Amongst the teams ranked 20-32nd there was grand total of 2 1,000 yard receivers (Dwayne Bowe, Mike Wallace).
Add in the fact that Vernon is our number one target not Crabtree and you see why Crabs was never going to rack up yards in Singletary's offense. I'm giving him a shot with Harbaugh hopefully him and Alex can patch things up because that's probally our best shot this year.
