Moore is a receiver who can take the top off of defenses, as we all know, but he offers more. He has sticky hands when it comes to making acrobatic Beckham-like catches. His career (and numbers) have really been hurt by inconsistent quarterback play. He runs nice routes under the safeties and linebackers and is not afraid to get hit. He can serve in a Percy Harvin role (yet unlike Harvin he can be a receiving threat instead of a utility player) by running reverses, smoke routes, etc. He can work on his route tree, but he is only 26 and we have Ricky Proehl.

He was Oakland's number one target for three weeks until he had a Lafell-like drop in the end zone that cost them the game. The coaching staff sent him down the ladder after that. However, don't get discouraged, because this guy doesn't usually have Lafell syndrome.

The reason I'm high on this guy is because I watch a lot of Raiders games with my dad (Cowboys fan) and his best friend (Raiders fan). He impresses me a lot more than Cotchery, and fits into a role better than Crabtree. Like I said, I'm not against Crabtree, but Denarius is the type of player we need. He is explosive and constantly gets yac (which the Panthers lack.)

Good post, but it says to me that Denarius Moore is still largely an unknown commodity. My personal desire for a WR in free agency was to acquire a player who we know what we are getting because of the increasingly seeming desire by the FO to add another young rookie at the position in the draft.

Crabtree is a proven, quality, very well rounded WR who not only allows us to go OT in the first, but hold down the fort until a 2nd or 3rd rounder hopefully develops. We don't know that we are getting that in Moore.

Crabtree would be like Banks from the Mighty Ducks. He was a d bag on the 49ers but would turn into a good guy here.

Plus he'd add another facet to our growing Seahawks rivalry.

Ravens fans probably hated steve smith until he signed there.

crabtree is actually extremely underrated ... yeah if you judge him on his career numbers you won't be that impressed, but given he's played in kaeperdicks one read offense, he's played pretty incredible when his number has been called, and unfortunately, that was only in 2012. 

 

2012: Crabtree 85 rec, 1105 yards and 9 TD's

2013: V. Davis: 52 rec, 850 yards, and 13 TD's 

2014: A. Boldin 83 rec, 1,062 yards and 5 TD's 

 

Kaeperdick picks one receiver at the beginning of each year and that's the guy he'll throw to 80% of the time. 

 

Give the guy a chance. He has some of the surest hands in the league and I think a change of scenery and a competent QB will bring out the best in Crabtree. Bring him in GMAN! 

 

He also tore his Achilles after 2012 during the offseason, so that might have something to do with it.  A lot of SF fans say he hasn't been the same since then.

      Bryce stats past the sticks

      He can be our post injury Delhomme in 2008. I am fine with Hubbard and Dowdle being our Willliams and Stewart.    Canales has some eating to do and hair to grow if he’s going to be Jeff Davidson tho.

      This season was about continuing to dig ourselves out of the crater Fitterer (and by extension Young with the three first round picks we traded for him) buried us in. Tepper is determined to make Bryce happen, so we're forced to play him at QB and adjust around his obvious inadequacies.

      Has nothing to do with the yards per carry, like at all. It's that 17 of his 25 passes were less than 10 yards downfield, against the worst pass defense in the league.  It's another game where Bryce's passing attempts were mostly dink and dunk type of passes. I wasn't asking us to throw it more yesterday, hell, if anything, you could make an argument that with how we were running it, we should have thrown it less than 25 times anyways.  It's that we still threw it 25 times but only had 8 of them where the ball was thrown 10+ yards downfield. Our schedule takes a dramatic shift after this week, even next week against the Jets, they have a decent defense for a team that hasn't won a game yet.  This was a great opportunity to allow Bryce to throw the ball downfield more against the worst pass defense in the league, hence I'd just have liked to see more than 8 of 25 passes be thrown further than 10 yards downfield. IF we were going to throw it 25 times against Dallas, I'd have liked to see a good 12-15 of them be further than 10 yards downfield, let Bryce work on his weakness against the worst pass defense in the league, not throw more dink and dunk passes per usual.
