Golden Nuggets: Leaders All Up In This [Site Decorum]

by James Brady on Jan 27, 2012 2:00 AM PST in 49ers Links

One thing that has struck me the most about the team following the loss to the New York Giants in the NFC Championship was the way they handled themselves. Some people accused Michael Crabtree of reverting back to "diva" mode, but other than that, we had some very tough guys saying some really inspiring things, and that makes me happy. This team came so far, so fast, and its coach did so much with so little (think offseason) that, near the end, it was like someone whose legs are moving faster than the rest of 'em. It's easy to look back and be discouraged, but just about every one of them has acted like an inspirational leader and I love that. I feel good about this team. Onto the linkage.

Can someone tell me how Crabtree reverted back to being a Diva?

by Ni9er on Jan 27, 2012 2:36 AM PST reply actions

Well, he was asked about not getting open

His reply was you’re not going to be open 50% of the time, but a playmaker needs his opportunities if he is going to make plays.

Can’t say he’s being a diva, or that he’s even wrong. It just sounded a tad bit bitter.

Sufficiently advanced sarcasm is indistinguishable from being an @$$hole.

He is being blamed for not catching the ball.

Impossible to catch the ball when the ball isn’t thrown to you.

And when we win, we want to dominate. We want to take guys out. We want to hurt guys. We want to win. We just want to dominate, hit them in the mouth. - Rathman

Cosell

Interesting examples of Alex not pulling the trigger…sigh…

And his examples are full of S*** too

Delanie was running a short route first read when Webster slipped. By that point Alex was already on his next read and Webster who had fallen behind had already closed the distance again a second later.

Gimme 1 round!
