Lets add to the Bust forum.

Michael Crabtree

I know most will disagree with me but this kid will never live up to his hype coming out of school IMO.

i can see this one - i held him for two years on my roster and never got anything out of him- he started looking better last season but has a long, long way to go

I'm not feeling you on this one. Hes finally been progressing, albeit very slowly, and I think the exact opposite. I think based on what the team has done, hes about to bust out in a big way this season. The only thing keeping me even slightly reserved is waiting to see how he handles himself with regards to team activities during this off-season. that will go a long way to showing us if he has mentally matured yet.

Agree with WW. I thought Crabtree would have progressed by now, but I give him a pass with the mess that team was in up until last year. With the progression of Smith, I think Crabs can take that step up - could be a nice buy-low candidate this offseason, plenty of guys are down on him right now.

so where do you see him a wr 2? or wr 3 or wr 1?..

Do you guys think hes talented enough to be an elite WR cause thats where his value was coming out of school. I personally dont think hes all that talented.

i highly doubt he ever is elite....i looking at wr 2 at best is my thinking which would put at bust level compared to his value or hype coming out of school..JMHO.

I think he IS that tallented and its all been a "head case" and offense problem up till now. You'll be amazed how Winning can turn a guys attitude around.

In response to the previous comment regarding his value:

He'll cost you the equivelent of a WR3 (when you can find a seller)

He'll give you mid to high WR2 production this year (my prediction anyway)

He has upside of low to mid WR1 long term. (with the right QB and attitude I do believe he has high end WR1 tallent but do think he may never realize his full potential.)

Huge upside, I just hope he can put it all together. He has elite skills, but so did Charles Rogers.

+1

he now has plenty of competition for balls, i think his stock is at an alltime low

I like Crabtree as a wr2 with some upside. He has the talent, he just needs a qb who can get him the ball.

I still Like crabtree to be a good WR, can't see him being elite, Maybe better if Kaepernick can get the nod as he has a better arm IMO. I'd say he can finsh 11-20 range..

Based on what is Crabtree a bust candidate? If anything, he's a sleeper since it won't cost much to acquire him.

JR's original question was "bust based on the hype coming into the NFL" in that regards he has not lived up to it to this point imo.

I see. But I don't recall that much "hype" coming out of Texas Tech. A ton of Evaluators didn't love Crabtree coming out... at the same time, a lot did. It was pretty much 50/50. He wasn't even the 1st WR drafted that year, Heyward-Bey was.

He was the #1 rookie pick in my main dynasty draft. I'd say that qualifies as hype. I see him as a possession receiver with a bad attitude. I still am staying away even at his current price.

^
yes, there was some hype because of his monster numbers at TT, but to call him a bust at this point of his career is questionable... Like I said before, if labeled anything, I'd label him a sleeper since his stock is low.

Howdy, Stranger!
