WR Crabtree worth a look?

After having a subpar season this year, his stock could drop. He also had surgery. Assuming Thomas Davis returns next year, he would be a great one to help his recovery.

Not sure we will go after a WR in the draft. Crabtree would be a nice addition if we don't plan too. What you guys think?

never very good to begin with. Just an average guy.

Rather try to nab someone in the 2nd3rd than deal with him. He's Hakeem Nicks 2.0

Yeh, I'd prefer a pick also, but the draft is tricky. You never know who will fall. It's possible they don't opt for a receiver during the draft. I just thought, for the right price, he would be a nice pickup.

Nah, I think I'll pass on Crabtree.  I don't mind going after a FA #2 WR to play opposite Benji, but I'm thinking someone more like Torry Smith from Baltimore.  Randall Cobb and/or Jeremy Maclin are ideally what we should look for, but their price tags are going to be stupid-high.  Smith will be 26 next month and can be had for a reasonable price, IMO.

 

Crabtree hasn't really lived up to the potential that he flashed at TT and has only really had one good season in the NFL.

Speed, Speed and more speed.  Have no problem with Crabtree as a receiver however what our team lacks is speed.  It's made a huge difference on the field when the slower veterans were replaced with faster rookies.   Same as our passing game improved from the moment Philly started seeing more time on the field.

 

I want to do what some of the other QB's in the league do.  Throw the quick out and have it go for 70 yards.  Speed guys dictate coverages, especially when you have a QB who can get them the ball.  Crabtree would be an upgrade on Cotchery, but a downgrade from KB.  I rather add speed next year, ie draft pick, ie Stephen Hill and see what happens.

    • i think the difference is that we win when we minimize Bryce as part of the offense ala Trent dilfer. look at the games we win and he us always under 200 yards passing. 
    • Which is also why we talk about there being a lower ceiling for Bryce I think Bryce sees the game decently well already given the mess this offence has been for the better part of his career. His big WTF plays are typically him just dropping the damn ball Which leaves me wondering sometimes what does peak Bryce look like. Guys like Sam you’d watch in NY/Carolina and he’d have so many boneheaded plays that you were left thinking if he could just clean these up you’d have a solid QB. And now we’re finally seeing Sam in a good offence and he’s able to play with timing and within structure and those boneheaded plays are cut down to 2-3 times a game Bryce doesn’t have a ton of boneheaded plays (minus flat out dropping the ball) so I dunno. I think Bryce can be a solid QB. Put Bryce in Seattle or Tampa and they’re still winning a lot of games  Coaching and overall team matters so much. The only dude that I think could probably do the most with the least in this league would be Lamar 
    • They both struggle with that but Lawrence is a significantly better athlete and an INSANELY more physically gifted passer. He has very limited reasons to be struggling the way he has. I will say, when he came into the league I specifically remember an interview that he basically intimated that he would be okay if his life didn't involve football and I have always questioned if he was passionate enough to be elite from that moment onward.
