Golden Nuggets: Focus
Good morning everyone, James here with your links for the day. You may have noticed an absense of links yesterday, well that was simply because, well... There wasn't anything for me to link to. I was up and ready about 3:30 AM and I couldn't find anything. I'm giving it a more thorough search tonight, so hopefully I can come up with something interesting to link to. What I can see right off the bat is one or two, but hopefully I'll have more as the day progresses. Either way, here's what I have.
Oh, if only this article were true. In a perfect world Vernon Davis would come in and produce like never before under Raye. Will he end up being a sleeper? Will he come out of nowhere and impress? We'll see. (NFL.com)
A look at WR, mostly Josh Morgan and Michael Crabtree. I like the thought of both being on the field at once. Am I the only one though, who feels like Crabtree either isn't happy with his situation, or just...doesn't enjoy the game of football? There's a Q&A, one thing I also kind of doubt is his intelligence. He never seems to answer any question or give anything much thought, and per earlier question and answer sessions, I get the feeling he really knows nothing about the 49ers organization. Its just scaring me a bit. (SacBee.com)
A bit more on that. I hope he can focus, I really do. (MVN.com)
That's all I have for now.

I agree James
crabtree is not the most charismatic or enthusiastic player through his interviews/what we’ve seen so far; but lets just hope this is because he is frustrated he is not on the field yet or something to that length. Hopefully once he gets on the field he will bond more with teammates and start to show a little more personality. I think everyone thinks this guy is the next big thing, so little things like this can make you think a little bit at such a “diva” position. We see WR’s come and go and have problems maybe more than any other position (i.e. TO, plaxico, braylon edwards, randy moss, etc..) and I just hope he doesnt let us down (i.e. J.J. Stokes)

Or Crabtree
doesnt like talking to funny looking bald reporters. You are reading way too much into that interview and show me which question he didn’t answer. He gets asked the same questions about his injury all the time, so yea, hes probably sick of it. Being asked what your limitations are in the weight room with a fractured foot is a pretty dumb question. “So does the foot affect your bench press?” Comethefuckon.
And he may not have been a niner fan growing up but he’s from Dallas, you dont think he knows anything about our organization?

On Crabtree
Any news on the crabtree contract talks? Seems to me that with a healing injury and no sighned contract that he is keeping a low profile. It would be great to have these two issues done and behind him by training camp so that we can see if he is the real deal. or not.

From the Barrows article linked above
Crabtree says, “As long as it gets done and I’m ready for training camp …” And only one first round pick has signed, this is normal, remain calm.

Ninjames, don't freak out
Crabtree loves the game, he is just a quiet guy. I am a tech fan so i would know

posted this elsewhere but
Would much rather have battle. There are guys with lots of uncertain potential in the ranks already. You know what you are getting with Battle and this depth chart would be better suited to have someone who is a proven decent posession reciever with high football IQ.

hmmm
sorry, keep trying to post in the battle/zeigler convo, i give up haha. I defintitely disagree with the crabtree worries. The wr diva stereotype is applied quickly. I dont seem to remember Randy Moss’s coaches being so outspoken about his character when the concerns came up. Not everyone is Calvin Johnson who had all sorts of cute little anecdotes that quieted speculation.

Dallas
I’m from Dallas, and I’ve heard from several people who have spoken to Crabtree that he has a bad attitude and definitely is not the brightest bulb in the room. Let’s hope that his abilities translate to the football field, but judging from history, it doesn’t look good.
