SBN’s Niners Nation is optimistic about Crabtree’s chances of playing this year, but for the time being, they’re not trusting anyone:
Niners Nation: Don’t Trust Anyone
The point of this post though is to look at the assortment of information/misinformation being spread by all parties involved. Adam Schefter reported yesterday that multiple league sources told him Crabtree is likely to sit out the entire season. Throw in Deion Sanders and Eric Davis saying similar things and that certainly would not seem to bode well for the 49ers.
As is the case quite often, that is not the whole story. Jay Glazer reported on Fox yesterday that there are mixed signals and “some” believe Crabtree is getting himself ready to play. One might point to the Trent Dilfer story (Crabtree working with Dilfer instead of a throwing machine). Also, and what I think is the biggest factor, is that Crabtree is supposedly residing in the South Bay. If he was intent on sitting out the year, I have a feeling he would be back in Texas.
The point of all this? We really can’t believe anything that is reported at this point.
Indeed, it seems nobody really knows what’s going on here except Crabtree, himself. Until he steps forward and speaks publicly, the rest is just white noise.
