What does he have to make up exactly? His teammates aren't holding anything against him at this point I assure you that. Once he signs and gets into practice and working hard with his teammates all will be forgotten. I can only see a problem if he comes in and doesn't practice well or has an attitude but from what I've heard of his work ethic and having Singeltary as the coach, I don't foresee that happening.
Anyone who puts on a 49er uniform you should support. He's going to be a key piece to the good, potentially great team we are building the next 2 years.
You honestly don't think they are any current 49ers that don'tfeel some type of way with Crabtree just walking in to join the team with 1/4 of the season already over, keep thinking that one champ. Crabtree has missedall of training camp, lots of team meetings, lots of workout sessions, and countless bonding seasons with other teammates. All of that stuff adds up and itmeans something. Also, lets not forget, Crabtree sat out this long on his OWN accord, it's not like he had some unfortunate situation on his account. Simply put, Crabtree was being greedy, any reasonable teammate or 49er fan can see that. He attempted to call the 49ers bluff. So yeah, Crabtree has ALOT tomake up for, to his coaches, teammates and fans, believe that. He has to prove himself, for the time he's missed and to let everyone know what he can orwill bring to the table, it's just that simple.
That's just ridiculous...
Meaning I want to see a full effort on his end, no half-assing or no excuses on his part. I think we as fans expect certain things from certainplayers and when we don't see that we call them out on it as we should. Just like LT sitting on the sidelines during the playoffs a few years back withthat coat on as the Chargers lost or even your boy WR Roy Williams standing with his hands on his waist as the Cowboys tried to score on their last driveagainst the Broncos this past Sunday as he wasn't on the field. As if he coudn't suck it up for 1 play, piss poor.
