Crabtree Finally Decided to Join the Bay

The Michael Crabtree drama is over and I think all of us couldn't be happier. Crabtree signed with the San Francisco 49ers today to a six year deal. He was listening to the wrong people all throughout the process and Crabtree was pissed about the fact he wasn't the first wide receiver taken in the first round.

The one thing I do wonder about the whole signing is if the 49ers had been 0-4 or 1-3 does this deal get done? I honestly feel Crabtree did not want to play for a loser and wanted a big city to spread his name. I liked the guy a lot in college but can we all agree that he is a part of the next group of headcase wide receivers? The only reason why he might not get there is because Head Coach of the Niners Mike Singletary.

I do not see Crabtree having a significant impact this season but I think next year he will flourish. I think the Niners are the favorite to win the NFC West right now and I think they could be for a long time with the amount young guys they have.

Michael Crabtree: The New Driver of the Whambulance

I know I am a couple days late with things but we will get you caught up very shortly. One of the biggest headlines this week was the San Francisco 49ers' first round draft pick Michael Crabtree might sit out for the entire 2009 season.

I dont think that this will happen but I really think Crabtree is doing a diservice to himself plus the other teams who drafted in the top ten picks (the Green Bay Packers would be one of them). First of all, Crabtree is doing a poor public relations job with the Niner fans because in the economy that we are in right now (hate using this statement, really do but you know it factors into it.) they should see Crabtree as completely selfish. There are people all around the country who would love to have the orginal offer that Crabtree got. The other thing about the whole situation is they are taking a look at what Darrius Heyward-Bey the seventh pick of the draft get thirty-eight million dollars from the Oakland Raiders. First of all, its the Raiders they always overspend and secondly Crabtree believes that he is better than Bey which I would agree with. He wants to get forty-million dollars plus and that for a tenth pick is ridicolus if you are not a quarterback. If the Niners have Crabtree, they are not going to be a playoff team

The other thing that harming the NFL is with Crabtree not signing that means that most of the top 10 picks are not with their teams in training camps. I believe Tyson Jackson just signed with the Chiefs but you still dont have BJ Raji, Eugene Monroe, Andre Smith, Aaron Curry, and Jason Smith signed. The ones who are higher up really dont matter compared to Crabtree but the lower top tens are seeing Crabtree as the standard.

I am assuming that the Niners will sign Crabtree at sometime but I dont believe he will be ready to play in the NFL until about third or fourth game. It takes so long to learn the playbook and with preseason coming up, it doesnt get any easier.

No Not Again

Mike Williams, Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, and Rashard McCants... What do they all have in common? I have thought that they were all going to be superstars in their respective sports and they havent lived up to the hype. Bush still has a chance but his kne All I am saying if Michael Crabtree is the same, you can see this love affair in this article.. I probably choke somebody out.

Crabtree is another guy I believe will be next big thing but now we learned last week that he will be missing 6-10 weeks with a stress fracture in his foot. Crabtree will be having surgery after the draft meaning he will try to work out on a stress fracture during Pro Day at Texas Tech.

I dont know if this is a good idea by Mr. Crabtree because I truly believe he will still be a top five pick if the Seattle Seahawks have a brain. Crabtree would be a perfect fit for the Seahawks who lacked a consistent reciever all year. In addition, I suggested to Seattle to take a look at Marvin Harrison to take Crabtree under his wing for a couple years.

So heres to hoping that I will be right about someone for once. Trust me the Mike Williams jokes were abundant by my buddies once he failed. The same with Matt Leinart.

Michael Crabtree Equals Monster

First off before we get started on how I am fully on the Michael Crabtree bandwagon, let me give a shout-out to my boy Pat who has a new blog out that has a great breakdown of the Packer game this weekend. Also my buddy Seth will be picking against me in NCAA Football so that should be entertaining, those will be up by Wednesday as well as the NFL ones by Thursday.

Now onto Mr. Crabtree... There are guys who I have completely fall in love with in college football see Brady Quinn, Mike Williams, Matt Leinart, and Reggie Bush just to name a few in the last couple of years but this year espically after the Texas-Texas Tech game, its Michael Crabtree. Bring me to the point of this is the only Red Raider team I'd ever cheer for, haha.

In case, you missed the greatest game of the college football season last night. The Fightin Colt McCoys (Texas) led them all the way down the field to complete a 22-3, comeback and take their first lead of the game up 33-32 with a minute thirty left. Way too much time for Graham Harrell and Crabtree as they take it down the field as they were in FG range with .15 left to go.

Harrell gets a passed tipped to a true freshman who my friend Brett said "If Texas Tech wins, they might as well leave him in Lubbock." I know most of Austin was thinking the damn same thing. The next play with .08 left, it is a deep out route to my boy Crabtree where he catches it over two defenders and tiptoes his way for the score. It was phenomenal and I loved every minute of it.

Now maybe this is just the tip of the iceberg of great games since it is November where the BCS changes every week but let me tell you Crabtree and the Red Raiders set the bar pretty damn high.
