Crabtree had one deflected pass off of his hands. Who cares. That ONE play did NOT cost us the game last year. How about Nate getting beat by a couple double moves? How about that overthrow on 4th and 1 to Moran Norris? or the Overthrow to Crabtree to start the 2nd half that was returned for a TD? The one he deflected did not go back for a touchdown.

Crabtree is EASILY the 2nd best WR on the team, even if he is not 100%

Maybe crabtree should attach these sticky mousetraps to his hands for the first few games.


there is no rule against sticky mousetraps

Who's not complaining about Clements? We were all on him. Crabtree didn't just deflect one pass. He was off on a couple of routes. He is the 2nd best talented WR on the team. Right now, he is not the 2nd best WR.

The route that all are complaining about was the route he ran at the beginning of the 2nd half that Alex overthrew him (go figure) by a few feet. Unless his route was suppose to be a deep corner, Alex was just off the target on that play and it got returned back for a TD.

Crabtree takes a lot of flack for something that isn't his fault. His rookie year he wanted more money and thought he could get it so who WOULDN'T hold out if you have a big time agent in your ear telling you you can get more money??? All rookie contracts are ridiculous being that none of them have played a snap in the NFL and none of them deserve the contracts but that's irrelevant, Crabtree was listening to his agent, just like any other kid coming out of college would do and it just so happened his agent was full of sh*t.

Year 2, Crabtree WANTED TO PLAY but Mike Singletary said NO, because it wasn't the regular season. Just like this year, he still attended all of the meetings and practices so it wasn't like he was away from football, his HEAD COACH wouldn't allow him to play.

This year he VOLUNTEERED to work with the team this off-season and just caught an unfortunate break but he didn't HAVE to be there. And again, he still attends all of the meetings and practices when he is done with the trainer.

Crabtree is a natural and his talent is limitless. We have Seattle week 1 which will be a good opportunity to fine tune his skills as they are a HORRIBLE road team and they really aren't that good. Point being, we will not (should not) have to rely on Crabtree to beat the Seahawks. With Edwards, Davis, Morgan and uh, GORE, Alex better be able to make enough plays with those guys to win the game. That will get Crabs some time to work on his routes, blocking and game-speed stamina.

He will be just fine

49ers QB Alex Smith said he didn't know extent of Crabtree's injury in June. "Had no idea until later he had surgery and it was broken."

Not last year or the year before. He sort of cost us last year with his idiot mistakes and lack of focus. I really hope he doesn't start until he has his s**t together within the offense. No need to hurt the team again.

he made some mistakes, and I absolutely hold his holdout against him, but you can't fault him for missing practices because of injuries.

I do hope that Harbaugh is consistent and doesn't anoint him a starter right away, just like he's doing with Spencer. Let him work his way back in.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the 49ers have been cleared of any wrongdoing and will not be subject to any penalties.

there better not be a picture of Michael Jordan that accompanies that news item.

Crabs is still the #1 WR on this team. Vernon is a great TE and a mismatch against LBs and most Safetys and Braylon Edwards gives us a spark and a big play threat, but I still like Crabs overall game. If he stays healthy and develops a rapport with Alex early then weapons are there, not to mention a healthy Frank Gore. If the Oline can limit its mistakes and keep Alex upright, I think we can win 8-9 games and might be enough for the division title

Quote:

Coach Jim Harbaugh and quarterback Alex Smith insisted Tuesday that Crabtree was only involved in ?warm-ups,? and the league agreed.

?We have reviewed it. It took place during a pre-practice period,? league spokesman Greg Aiello said. ?Crabtree has been activated. The case is closed.?

Crabtree?s first official day in a 49ers uniform under Harbaugh?s watch mirrored Monday: He took part in the same quarterback-receiver session before heading off to individual conditioning drills on the neighboring field.

?I?ve got to run routes first before I talk to you,? Crabtree told reporters. ?Once I get on the field, I?ll be the first person to talk to you.?

As for Monday?s field work, Harbaugh said: ?There was absolutely no malice by the team to try to break any rules or steal practice reps for Michael Crabtree. Did he or did he not practice? I can answer that question. He did not practice, and that was obvious. I mean, there was a report he ran 5-yard routes. He didn?t run any routes. He was walking around. He was playing catch. The malice wasn?t on our part. I think the malice was the way it was written.?

Asked if there was any difference between Crabtree?s participation today as opposed to yesterday, Harbaugh replied: ?He wore his uniform today. He was lined up, came out of the huddle in the (morning) walk-through portion of practice.?

Anyone thinking Crabs is ducking camp by having to have surgery is a fool. You don't expose yourself to surgey to get out of doing anything. However, he knew of his problem and how it occurred, so he should have taken precautions to prevent a reoccurance. Usually, a screw is placed across the fracture to compress it and to stop it from expanding.

Here's an explanation from AAOS:

"A stress fracture is an overuse injury. It occurs when muscles become fatigued and are unable to absorb added shock. Eventually, the fatigued muscle transfers the overload of stress to the bone causing a tiny crack called a stress fracture."

Sounds like Crabs was putting a lot of stress on the foot and that when he came to Camp Alex, it was already bothering him. As everyone knows, he spent very little time working out with the guys, so the stress that produces the problem had to have occurred somehwere else. Guess where that was?

I'm glad he's back, he's one of my favorite players on the team(no joke). If and I do mean IF the line can give Alex some time to throw I think Crabtree will open up this offense and there will be some rhythm.
