A reminder of why Crabtree was drafted in the first round

OK, so I'm a homer, but you can still tell Crabtree is a beast.

A reminder of why...

If he doesn’t sign, his biggest check of this decade will have come from Subway.

I’ve had the “Deific” name for like 10 years, got bored. Seitan explains me a little bit better. It’s more of a thought provoking name than Deific, I think so anyway. In a couple weeks I’ll make a new name and drop the formerly part.

Seitan…as in “wheat gluten”? I understood deific — godlike, no?

Correct!

Well, I’m vegan. I like to eat and cook with Seitan.

Most people don’t know what Seitan is. I like seeing ignorant people think that I am a member of some sort of cult.

It was deific,

I used it to play games online because it seemed like a more intimidating and mature name when I was young, I thought it was clever.

I am more about Cycling and Nutrition/Environmentalism now than I am about playing video games. I feel personifies myself a little better (even if Seitan holds little nutritional value, I like the word lol).

What's the likelihood of a Crabtree sighting at the Texas/TexasTech game?

Like 90%?
99%?

Myself, I’m leaning toward the latter.

i don’t know. i saw a player who barely got any separation 1 on 1 vs college players and didn’t even bother to block anybody on the WR screen to his teammate. proper technique catching the ball at least.

him not ever joining the 9ers might be a blessing in disguise if they spend that money elsewhere and get another productive FA a la Justin Smith.

seriously, 10 for Tech this is a good idea.

In the midst of so many people saying ‘screw Crabtree, cut him loose,’ Crabtree highlight videos (maybe not this one particularly, since it doesn’t quite have the epic sweep of some others which aren’t focused on a single game) are worth watching—simply as a reminder.
The team can hugely benefit from a guy like Crabtree. I do think he’ll be a good player. The problem is that the fact that most everybody knows that he’s going to be a good player makes us all the more frustrated that he’s not signed.

I don't think anyone has ever doubted that Crabtree is an amazing football player.

The reason people have lost their love for him is because the negotiation and hold-out has made him look like a douchebag. The two aren’t mutually exclusive.

I’m trying to remain impartial, though. He wants his money, and that’s okay.
If we get him, great. If we don’t, whatever.

My pessimism goes to the point of suspecting the sincerity of the pessimists.
