Sign the Beast LI: 49er WR Micheal Crabtree Thread

Micheal Crabtree Thread


Might as well get one started. Was a target for the Chargers who are probably out now leaving the Redskins as the front runner.

Good read & analysis on Crabtree here.

Looks like he can still produce but not as a #1 or #2. I have no idea if he'd fit here.

We could use a #3 so why not.

If he comes here, the problem is that I will say his name in my Richard Sherman voice.

Looks like the Achilles injury in 2013 really messed him up. 2012 looked like elite numbers then 2013 happened and 2014 looked like a number 3 receiver. Wonder if the Pats would be a good fit

Achilles injuries can take a good long time to heal (unless you are a Raven.) That plus the QB disaster in SF. I'd risk it.

Maybe he'll go to the Seahawks with his BFF Richard Sherman

This might be useful for those who lost track just like me. Until September we might cross all of them.

The fact that he isn't signed yet tells you he is looking for more than anyone is willing to pay.

What's wrong with amendola?

As a #3 WR and KR/WR...absolutely nothing.

Nothing expect what happens if he gets injured or he has a repeat of 2014 were he goes missing for a large part and then Edelman or LaFell go down for a few weeks?

You really hinging on Dobson or Tyms to step up if that happens?

Some eople wanting to bring in a WR arent knocking Amendola they are knocking what is behind him on the depth chart.

its a crab shoot

Crabtree is interesting to me. Lots of good, bad and questions.

Personality seems to be a negative.
Stats are hard to grab onto. Played in running offense with crappy QB. At times tore it up and at others was an afterthought.
I see enormous talent, and honestly I see the kind of talent that TB could bring out. Crabtree's skillset on the same page with Brady (such as a Welker or Troy Brown relationship) could make him a stud.
Personally I think WRs are a dime a dozen. Flip most of them among systems, and give them similar opportunities and the results are not going to be very different.
Crabtree, IMO, is not in that category, but he could be dominant if put in the right situation, or he could also be a waste of time due to his attitude.
I think he is a hit big or miss big guy.
