Michael Crabtree announces deal to sign with Oakland

Good place for him.

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) The Oakland Raiders have agreed to a deal with free agent wide receiver Michael Crabtree.

Crabtree announced on his Twitter account Monday night that he is joining the Raiders. ESPN first reported the deal.

He will become a Raider six years later than many people expected. Oakland passed on Crabtree in the 2009 draft even though he was considered the top-ranked receiver. The Raiders instead took the faster Darrius Heyward-Bey seventh overall, three spots before Crabtree went to the San Francisco 49ers.

Where careers die just see Richard Seymour. Then again my hatred of Oakland and the Raiders is about as personal as it can get. It's not easy going to school there if you're while, female and it's not the present day environment that is far more accepting racially speaking.

He doesn't have to face the LOB twice a year now.

Good point. Now he might be better than mediocre given he's in the AFCW now.

Dude has seen a shit ton of targets with Kaep. Highly doubt he sees that type of volume with Oakland. And he desperately needs that volume, because he has nothing after the catch any more. Achilles injuries are one the hardest to come back from, and most people never recover all the way.

While agree that Carr is good and an up and coming star, there is no way Oakland is an improved situation for him.

Quantity means nothing when the passes are coming from Keeporpick. Carr will offer better quality passes.

Won't face Sherman again until 2018. Although, he'll see him in the preseason almost every year. So kind of a mixed bag.

Do the whiners have any receivers left?

Really?

Seahawks #1 receiver last year Doug Baldwin had 825 yards.

Anquan Boldin had 1062. Torrey Smith had 767 as a Raven.

How about 2013.

Golden Tate (no longer on the team) had 898 yards. Baldwin had 778.

Boldin in 2013 had 1179. Torrey had 1128.

No Seahawk on the current roster has ever had a 1000 yard season. Boldin by himself has seven.

Its all good to make fun of the Niners in their present state, but at least make sense.

Jimmy Graham says "hello."

1,310 yards, 11 TDs in 2011.
1,215 yards, 16 TDs in 2013.

To flip this around, no Whiner on the current roster has had more than 15 receiving TDs in a season. Also, Boldin is older than Methuselah. And Davis is on the downward slope after turning 31. Check mate.

oops.

I admit when I'm wrong...forgot the TE.

My point was about the WR position though because the initial comment was in regards to WRs. "Quantity over Quality" was the quote. Come on now...if you are sportin' Baldwin and Kearse and you are saying Niners have nobody with Boldin and Smith...come on now....and for the record, I like Baldwin.

Initial comment included Davis, who is rapidly regressing with age.

Consider the football spiked.

Touche.

Missed Davis there....

...but still think the quantity over quality is total bunk. Also don't be surprised if Graham never gets close to those numbers again in an offense that won't throw the ball 50 times a game.

He will dominate your precious 39ers, so it doesn't matter.

Not trying to debate (IMO this is a pretty silly debate), but purely out of curiosity:

Do you think Graham will have a 1K yard season on the Seahawks? Next year? Ever?

Sincerely just curious.

Also, just because I was surprised to learn this when I looked it up:

Even the Hawks' last 900 yard receiver was T.J. Houshmandzadeh in 2009.

Who cares about 1000 yards? That doesn't determine whether a receivers season was successful.
