We Will Catch Punts!!! The offical 2012 San Francisco 49ers off-season thread

My bad, brainfart.

I'm gonna be honest, this is beginning to concern me. I've heard no real progress on his development.

Yep, everything I hear is he is just tucking and running. Sounds like a guy who is having a hard time picking up the offensive playbook and reading the defenses.

I`m glad we got Josh Johnson as insurance. It's crazy because there was a lot of people on here and in other places thinking Kaep was the heir to the throne, right now it looks like he could be the #3 QB.

I don't see how he is much more than a possession guy. Hell, Keyshawn was considered a possession guy and he produced much more than CrabTHREE does.

He is not a big impact player, he isn't a #1 WR that is for damn sure.

The more and more he sits out, the more Alex develops chemistry with Manningham, Moss and Williams. I hope Crabthree becomes the guy we're paying him to be and he stays here for years, but I just don't see nay of that happening.

He just isn't that talented. He probably is just another case of the stud college WR not being as great because there is no press coverage in college and he played in an air it out system.

We're going to have to pay more important people in 2013, i`d hate to see us waste any dough on CrabTHREE if he doesn't have a monster year.

Bowman's contract is up and he has to be our #1 priority. Along with getting Goldson a deal.

It's funny hearing you talk about Crabs and thinking you're actually being objective.

Seriously, yuo keep calling the guy "CrabTHREE" and really expect anyone to take you seriously? Stop posting.

Good news today, CRabthree's on the practice field. Stay healthy motherfukker.

Edit: Reports seem like he isn't practicing, just working with the strength and conditioning coach

 

[LastEmperor2k2]

Iupati is back at practice, was absent because he just had a kid.

All I got to say is... this thread is more informative than the official niners forum. I think ima stick around if that's aiight wit y'all.

A. Smith over or under 3500 yards this year? I see him at right around 3500 if they open things up like they did towards the end of the year. I see moss at about 1000 with about 8-10 tds. crabtree at about 800 with about 5-7 tds same with vernon, and I see manningham at about 400 yds or so. What y'all think?

He just didn't participate in the contact drills, which is smart since he's coming off a calf strain. If this was the season, I think he'd suit up and play on Sunday.

By all accounts, everything coming out of camp this year from everybody is that Crabtree had an excellent spring/summer. I don't know what you have against Crabtree, but I think he's more than a possession receiver. Like I've pointed out, he's made plays when we needed him to. He was the only reliable receiver last year, and you can throw Vernon into that mix, too. People forget that there were times last season when Vernon disappeared, but all everybody remembers is the playoffs. People are remember a bad game and a half and thinking that that's all Crabtree was about. People forget the big catches he had in crucial situations last year.
At any rate (I don't wanna turn this into a Crabtree thread), I think Crabtree will be fine. He should get some time in the preseason games this year and be fine. I think the new receivers need to build chemistry with Alex more than Crabtree does. If Jim isn't worried, we shouldn't be.

I would say about 3500, maybe over. Even with 3 runningbacks playing on gameday, we need to air the ball out more than last year if we are going to have the same success. I don't see Moss breaking 1000 yds, but Crabtree might be able to get close. I also think Manningham will be a bigger factor in this offense, but time will tell.

100%, we always welcome 49ers fan.

Even outsiders are welcome if you want some 49ers news.

Over, but not by much. Something like 3600.

Moss 750 yards 7 TDs
Crabtree 700 yards 4 TD's
Vernon Davis 900 yards 7 TDs
Manningham 700 yards 6 TD's

Something like this

I think we`d know he`d suit up and play, he doesn't really miss much time in the regular season, it's the practices he is always missing.

Honestly, this season I don't care as much about him missing practices because we have other weapons Alex can get more familiar with who he needs to build chemistry with, it's just more of the same from #15

It's not that I have much against him, he just isn't that good and i`m tired of him already. I heard the same reports, but that stuff doesn't matter to me. He had his chance to impress when it counted and he fell flat, this is why we went out and got 2 WR's in FA and one in the draft, And even though his spring was good here we are again, same story as the 3 years before.

I was a big supporter when we drafted him, went nuts, bought the jersey the first night. He just hasn't been what he was supposed to be, and then the comments after the championship game don't really make him a real loveable guy.

It's just like a bad relationship, i`m ready to move on, it's always something with dude and for 4 TD's last year, he's not worth his paycheck

Article on #15, sums up some of his issues and some of the things he's done well while a 49er.

Crabtree does himself no favors
