Hindsight being 20/20.. I know.. but damn we got the better end of that deal. Hands down.

Now the debate.. is it really only injuries that have derailed Crabtree's career to this point or can one make a claim that his lack of drive and keeping his body right have?


Crabtree expected to miss entire preseason

Michael Crabtree, Kyle Williams AP

The 49ers signed Braylon Edwards last week in large part because they have no idea what they are going to get from Michael Crabtree.

The third-year receiver has been walking around training camp with a boot on his injured foot. Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com writes that the coaching staff thinks Crabtree may be “ready” late in the exhibition season, but the staff is likely to hold him out into the regular season.

In the same article, Maiocco points out that Ted Ginn has probably been the most impressive receiver in 49ers camp. On the downside: Ted Ginn has been the most receiver in 49ers camp.

Hindsight my ass. I (and many others) said from the get go that B.J. Raji was the better selection even before he was picked. I can recall only one person who felt differently. And that stubborn ass probably still feels the same way!!! hahahaha

I thought Crabtree had more talent, but at that point it would've been idiotic for us to take Crabtree over Raji, since our WR corps was stacked back then already, and our new 3-4 desperately needed talent.

I don't think I've ever seen someone be as much a dick as dhazer was when we picked Raji over Crabtree (and even more so when we picked Bulaga over Dez). But how did things turn out?

Our weakness that year was D. We didn't need another playmaker. We needed someone who can shake things up on D.

I was on the anti-Ted fence until that draft. I gave him an A immediately after the draft and have been a Ted supporter ever since. BJ Raji and CM3 in the same draft? Super win.

Crabtree would have been just another receiver competing for playing time. Wouldn't have changed the team much.

Exactly. Raji is one of our best defensive players right now. Crabtree would likely wouldn't have caught many balls that Nelson and Jones couldn't. At least with him holding out and getting injured constantly.

Ted made his choice, and the end result is carved in stone. Raji is, and will be the most productive contributor for the Packers in the long run, regardless of Crabtree's set backs.

Crabtree may, and I hope be a superstar. I wish him well. However that will be for a different team with different needs. For the Packers, at this time Raji was the right pick.

I have complete competence in my heterosexual conviction, But I swear, if Ted asked me to rub his back with coconut suntan oil on Waikiki beach I would. I would do it with a smile on my face, and perhaps a semi in my shorts. (Just a semi. OK.)

Martha Careful (23h) : I have never seen an OTA, but who is lining up at LT and RG with starters? or is it all individual drills?
Zero2Cool (30-May) : Bears are the first team to be selected for Hard Knocks
dfosterf (29-May) : Andy Herman and his Pack a day podcast put up GB strengths yesterday. This morning he did weaknesses. They are both very good.

buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Not serious but waiting for strength and conditioning coach referwnces.
buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Tom and Kraft both injured(pectoral muscle),
Zero2Cool (20-May) : I feel similar about person and product/service.
beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player
Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity
Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol
Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.
buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4
