Clouds Forming between Crabtree, 49ers

Been away for a few days (watching my home town soccer team get beat of a part timers from liechtenstein ) but has Curry signed on? Didn't see any mention of it on the site but then I am in a booze haze. Aren't both in the same boat at the moment? :whistle:
Like the new look B)

Hey Scotia, no Unger or Curry yet, but Deon Butler was signed yesterday. Glad you like the new look!

I will admit that I entertained the notion of Crabtree wearing Hawsk blue, but I also sensed him as the second coming of a high maintaince WR (T.O). I dont wish him luck, becuase I would hate to see him play good against the Hawks, but as a player and person I do wish him well. With that being said, I am VERY thankful Curry is in Seattle, and Crabtree isnt. In my opinion he carrys a cocky attitude, and thinks he is all that. Maybe he is, but it doesnt appear that he respects the game. I see too much T.O. when I see Crabtree. The icing on the cake would be to see Butler earn more yards, and TD's than Crabtree after the season is done. Just to be fair, we wont count Butlers yards or TD's in the playoffs, becuase thats where the Hawks will be and SF wont. :evil:

Leave it to the Niners to pick the next TO...

I'm glad he's San Francisco's problem. I could see this one coming when he was the second WR taken instead of the first as everyone had assumed he'd be. I was thinking he wouldn't want to take his proper place in the salary order based on where he was drafted especially with Parker as his agent. Good luck with that one 49'ers.

It would have been nice to have his kind of talent on the team but I think we dodged a bullet as far as bringing a prima donna into our locker room. Besides, I think we did acquire his kind of talent and maybe more. Crabtree has the appearance of becoming a special player based on his college career but Curry is a bonafied freak of human nature with his DE's size and his ability to play like his was in a much smaller man's body. Crabtree has good hands but is pretty ordinary as an athlete. We'll see over time who does the most for their team.

Meanwhile, the more disruption Crabtree can cause for the 49'ers, the more I love it. It looks like we didn't have to draft him after all for him to do us some good. :evil:

Heres to Crabtree and Boldin... Lets hope they disrupt their teams as much as possible in the coming weeks.

I really hope they bring in some kind of rookie pay scale/salary cap sooner rather than later, the guy got picked 10th overall so he should be paid like he got picked 10th overall.
I hope the 9ers dont conceed and pay him top 5 money.

I will admit I REALLY wanted Michael Crabtree to be a Seattle Seahawk. As someone who has only been a Seahawks fan for about 6 years, I am not used to Seattle getting the opportunity to get a top draft pick. When our lack of WR seemed to set us on a downward spiral last year, I just saw it is fate. What are the odds Seattle could get one of the best WR in college history? Yes, I was enthralled with the possibility. Then when we signed Houshmandzadeh I got very concerned. I didn't know much about Curry but I wasn't a fan of Sanchez and I hated to think we'd get someone like Eugene Monroe. It was nothing against Monroe, it was simply my opinion as a fan who wanted to see a new player in a flashy position. As it grow closer, concerns about Crabtree's injury made him become a bit more of a risk and then his character issues began to take form. I love the fact that Seattle has high character players. Still, it didn't really have an effect on my opinion. Really, it wasn't until draft day when I finally realized I was wrong. When we selected Curry he cried himself to the podium. He hugged the young boy he brought along with him, and it showed me he was not only talented but an amazing human being. When a few picks later, the Oakland Raiders passed on Michael Crabtree, you could see the anger and frusteration in his eyes. The whole world could see he was pissed, because he wasnt the first WR selected. When all is said and done, am I glad we passed on Michael Crabtree to get Aaron Curry? I REALLY, REALLY am. And I can wait to see Aaron Curry rip the 49ers and Michael Crabtree to shreads

For me, the only games I saw last year that Crabtree was in, they lost. And he was a non-factor. Those were "big games" as I was told. I didn't see all his game tape, but I did see him against legitimate competition, and it was ho-hum. Not a fan of his talent, yet. Maybe I see him play well in the pros. I'm glad we didn't take him and was hoping we wouldn't.

But before we get too opinionated about what he's getting ready to do in SF; let's bite our tongues and have a little humility until our picks sign. I'm sure they will, but let's not count the eggs until they hatch.

Sounds to me like he is just another prim a dona rookie WR. The fact he believes he should get top five money because he should have been picked top five is ridiculous. I am so glad we picked a classy standout player and not this jerk....

FAO Gnarly Hawk - you clearly didn't see much of Michael Crabtree then. I watched a hell of a lot of game tape on him leading up to the draft and in the big games (eg vs Texas) he was the defining factor, the game winner. It's no coincidence that one of the greatest periods of Texas Tech football involved Michael Crabtree on the roster. Anyone who suggests the guy was anything but a complete stud in college football doesn't know enough about the guy.

I never see these things as being a 'Crabtree' backer or having to 'move over' to Curry. Anyone who pigeon holes themselves to one prospect is only setting themselves to be dissapointed. The simple fact is, Aaron Curry is a Seahawk and Michael Crabtree is a 49er. They aren't prospects anymore who people pine for in the draft. They are members of a roster now.

For me, this is a nothing story. Crabtree isn't the second coming of T.O. He and his agent are trying to get the best deal they can. As things stand today, Crabtree is as much an issue for San Francisco as all of the other unsigned top 10 picks. All that interests me now is getting Curry signed up and ready for camp asap. I really hope we aren't going to follow every move Michael Crabtree makes just because a few fans really wanted him in Seattle.

I only saw him on tape when they would review him for the draft segments. He looked great on all the successfull plays they showed. I was soured because all I heard was Crabtree this, Crabtree that. Then I specifically tune into two games and nothing. I expected more, I expected to see him play like he did in the Texas rival game.

The whole attention being paid to him and the QB's reminded me a lot of when Michael Bush was coming out. I wasn't on his band wagon either and actually (honestly) thought Mario Williams was the best & smartest pick in the draft considering how much long term value a probowl probable DE would be over 12 years vs a RB. I'm more lucky then good on that opinion, and yes it feels good being lucky too.

I agree with you, I hope we don't overly focus on Crabtree and only really bring him up when we play SF. He doesn't yet deserve much attention and who is to say how well he plays or what type of man he will be. I wish him the best and hope he flourishes everywhere except agains our defense.

:cheer:

I believe that selecting Curry was best decision at #4. He is a great athlete who should take off some heads.

Time will tell if Crabtree is a superstar. If I had to predict, I think he'll be pretty good. Great? I'm not so sure he has it.

A big part of this discussion is that very few of us really anticipated Curry still being on the board by the time we picked. So for him to fall to us was an incredible thing and I believe we will be much better this year for it. Early first round WR picks have struggled in their rookie year lately while later WR picks have found success. So here's to the hope that Butler is the next DeSean Jackson or Marques Colston.

Curry has been called the best LB prospect to come along in over 10 years. Just think about that especially when you consider that Curry plays the posistion that busts the least and Crabtree the posistion that busts the most. Not saying Crabtree will bust and that Curry is the next Derrick Brooks but odds are on Curry being the better player down the line.

As mentioned in previous posts, until the Seahawks have inked Curry and Unger, let's not make light of the 9er's situation. Holding out is also a possibility for both of the Seahawks players. That would suck! Once they have signed, then we can delight in the 9er's plight.

When the talks first started about the draft I was all for Seattle picking Crabtree, I mean did you see the Oklahoma game ? But as time went on and the draft got closer I started to sway over to Curry and by draft day he was my man ! Hawks made the right decision, thank you Tim Ruskell.

I think seatowntp hit the nail on the head.

Until Curry is signed up for camp, let's not tempt fate especially over something so non-descript as this. Right now, both Curry and Crabtree remain unsigned.

I was really hoping to get Crabtree as well. Gnarly, you really should watch some more tape--it doesnt take much. His game-winning catch against Texas, dspite playing with nagging injuries, is nothing short of amazing. And those big games where he didnt show well? He was playing hurt, something we need a WR to do (calling DJ Hackett--this is why you dont have a job!). Still, I was convinced that if CUrry should fall to us, we should take him rather than Crabtree, especially considering Crabtree's behavior.

Still, early days yet to be labeling Crabtree the next TO. Curry also has yet to sign, but no one is suggesting he's the next Ray Lewis!

I couldnt be happier that we have Curry, whom I am convinced will be the player of the decade. But Crabtree shouldnt be labeled TO quite yet...
