Although it's frustrating that he's missed another preseason, I think Crabtree could/should have a great year. This offense is perfect for his skill set. Quick slants and run after the catch should really be his bread and butter. Of course, we need Alex to step up and put the ball where he can catch it on the run. That's a big if, but IF he can, good things are coming. That will open things up even more for Vernon, Edwards and Gore. Could be a fun offense. I'm just sayin'.

Don't really think Harbaugh counts since he's not a player. But, in order:

1. Gore - has often been one of the leading receivers, in addition to being our leading rusher.
2. Vernon - Most gifted receiving weapon as far as size and speed. Also a tremendous blocker.
3. Braylon - Tallest, most athletic WR with most experience.

Voted Frank Gore. If we get the running game going, that'll open up the passing game for guys like VD, Crabs, Braylon, Delanie, and Josh(ua). Wow I can't believe how many weapons we have on offense

Defenses go into a game thinking, "how can we stop Frank Gore".
A receiver is only as dangerous as the quarterback throwing him the ball. Frank Gore's talent has shined the brightest over the years, because he hasn't had to completely depend upon our quarterbacks.

Although I think VD is a major threat to opposing defenses, I would have to say Gore is more of a threat. Not only can he run, but he can catch the ball & block. Not to mention, he's been the main focus for the Niners offense for the past years. Teams gameplan against him & yet he still puts up good numbers.

VD has yet to really establish himself as a consistent, dangerous weapon. I think this year he will.

Until he does, though, Gore is our best weapon, as he has been for the last several years.

He's been phenemenal the last 2 years. He has 20 TD's in 2 years and nearly 1,000 yards in both seasons. Despite having a garbage O Line, questionable QB's, and a SingleBrainCell HC. Only on reputation, past media hype and lack of league wide knowledge are guys like Gonzalez getting the Pro Bowl instead of him. You could make a real strong argument VD is the #1 best TE in the league right now. I'd take him right now above Gates, Gonzalez or anybody easily.
