Crabtree has stress fracture

[OnTheWarpath15]

Per NFLN...

According to NFLN's Adam Schefter, Crabtree has a stress fracture in his foot that will require surgery.

Likely out 10 weeks.

So, someone is going to draft him with no workout numbers at all.

No way he goes Top 10 now, IMO. MONSTER risk.

He's shorter than anticipated, and people are already worried about his speed.

[Extra Point]

Heh.

[kstater]

Chiefs should trade down and take him at #10.

[chiefscafan]

yeah I just heard too. Wow this is gonna be interesting how far he slides. Man the whole mike Williams is gonna kill him. Damn feel sorry for the kid.

[KcMizzou]

Sweet, pick him up in the 3rd. :D

[DeezNutz]

Wow.

That's a bad break.

[kcsam07]

i know this well never happen lol but maybe he slides back 2 us at 34 lol

[doomy3]

that's too bad for him.

[MIAdragon]

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports that Michael Crabtree will be sidelined for the next ten weeks following surgery for a stress fracture in his foot.

He'll have a pin inserted into the foot. Crabtree has nursed this injury since mid-October in 2008, so it's no surprise to find out that something's seriously wrong. He will not work out at all before the draft. Crabtree's put a lot on film in Mike Leach's spread offense, but he risks falling out of the top 5-7 picks. He measured far shorter than expected on Friday and won't be able to answer questions about his 40 time at Pro Day. Feb. 21 - 11:53 am et

Sounds like he made a dumb decision not to get this taken care of after the season was over. Heck he should just taken care of this after their last regular season game and not played in the bowl game and he would be ready to go by now.

[DeezNutz]

Maclin just made even more money.

A lot of mocks had Crabtree going #4. Seems too high for Maclin, but if he runs a sub 4.3, maybe...

[Dave Lane]

implosion!!

[chiefscafan]

Wow I still don't see him falling out of the first. Pure talent won't get him out of the first.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Wow I still don't see him falling out of the first. Pure talent won't get him out of the first.

Except for the fact that he doesn't have that much pure talent.

[chiefscafan]

Actually they said the injury happened recently probably during trainning still sucks I'd still draft him if needed an WR. But you do have to question his hieght played supposedly at 6'3 now find out he's only 6'1 who knows what he runs and how fast he is. From the tape he looks like he has game speed how do we know. Someone said it on here earlier peter warrik looked like all world receiver coming out of FSU then when got to NFL couldn't do anything. I still feel he is worth the risk but it still is a risk.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Everyone looks like they have game speed against the 4th CBs of college defenses ranked in the 80s.

[CaliforniaChief]

Sounds like he made a dumb decision not to get this taken care of after the season was over. Heck he should just taken care of this after their last regular season game and not played in the bowl game and he would be ready to go by now.

Exactly. Makes you wonder about the kid's mental makeup or at least the people advising him. Wow.

[RJ]

Maclin just made even more money.

Maclin also shrunk a little but he still has the opportunity to run fast.


http://www.rotoworld.com/


Missouri WR Jeremy Maclin measured 6'0/198 at the Combine weigh-in.

Maclin's 6'1/200 college listing always seemed generous. His game relies on speed and quickness, however, and not necessarily size. Maclin is expected to run one of the fastest forties by a wideout Sunday. He'll likely break 4.4.

[notorious]

Thank Jesus, God, Alah, and whoever the hell else this happened. We don't have to listen to people asking or saying we should take him with the third pick anymore.


Woohoo!!!!!!!!

[milkman]

Exactly. Makes you wonder about the kid's mental makeup or at least the people advising him. Wow.

I'm guessing that chiefsca is right and that Crabtree suffered this injury in workouts preparing for the combines and pro days.

[FAX]

No Crabtree for us.

You know, I've often wondered if Dorsey's tibia fracture wasn't downplayed by the Chiefs' physicians and it has actually impacted his development more than they are telling peeps.

Woohoo!!!!!!!!

You underestimate the dumbassery that is true fandom.

[notorious]

His trainer was probably pushing him too hard trying to get his 40 in the sub 5 second range.

[chiefscafan]

Actually the injury happened recently so he couldn't have taken it earlier I give it up to him to admit it and not try to hide it from scouts.

[chiefscafan]

Yeah deon worked him too hard LOL neon probablly raced him and he pulled up lame LOL

[ArrowheadMagic]

Everyone looks like they have game speed against the 4th CBs of college defenses ranked in the 80s.

Come on man, he didnt play every game against Mizzou.

so these college teams put their worst CB on the other team's BEST WR?:rolleyes:

Actually, they just have them play 8 yards off in a soft zone. It's gonna be a hell of a lot different when someone like Cromartie is whipping his ass at the line of scrimmage.

Not to long ago that was a Big 12 strength. WTF happened?!

[chiefscafan]

Hamas you honestly are saying crabtree doesn't have pure talent?

Not making fun of you but in college he showed a lot of talent can he do that in NFL I'm not sure.

[PhillyChiefFan]

THANK YOU! Exactly, this guy has played against soft d's and he is overrated.

Hopefully everyone will get off his nuts now. Maclin, Harvin, and Hakeem Nicks are all as good/better than Crabtree.

The guy has 15 balls a game thrown his way. His numbers are a reflection of the system he is in.

Actually, in college he showed that he could exploit slow corners without talent playing soft coverage when he was running short routes over the middle of the field.

That's it.

He's not big.
He's not fast.
He hasn't run any pro routes.
His hands are good, not great
His leaping ability is ?

The guy can catch, I am just getting sick of listening to everyone talk about him like he's the next Jerry Rice. I think he will be alright but not the guy that some of the analyst's think he is.

I think the analysts just need someone to talk about and they picked him.

I'm still in the malauga camp. His intensity would transform this D

Almost scary how similar they are..........

Crabtree was in a WR friendly system.


No way no how.

I'm in that camp if we move down, if not I would love to have Cushing or Matthews. USC's defense is just unbelievably talented at almost all positions.

[tk13]

Somebody drafted McGahee with a blown out knee, so I don't think Crabtree is toast quite yet.

But it's strange, I've almost become sick of this time of year, and just want the draft to get here. Everybody's turned into a know-it-all regarding the draft, when in reality they don't know as much as they think they do. People spend so much time picking it apart. We have to hear people pick apart somebody who ran a 40 a tenth of a second slower than someone else, or had a couple less bench reps, etc. Completely stupid stuff, it's hard to read anymore.

I mean I don't think Crabtree is Jerry Rice, but it's funny how everyone is either awesome, or they suck. So far at this point a lot of people have gone into the camp that A) the QB's are awesome and everyone else (Crabtree, Curry, etc) is overrated or B) everyone else is pretty good and the QB's are overrated.

[Kyle DeLexus]

Crabtree will workout at his pro day? Did I hear them right on NFLN?

[melbar]

But he is the best WR eva! /True Fans

K wait are true fans guys who dare question Sanchez, or any position not yours...I'm confused...:)

Crabtree to the Raiders.

True there. Its fun to debate, but the absolutes and the name calling are getting a little out of hand.

[Buehler445]

I hope the Chiefs get him in the 6th.

[Fritz88]

Worth the risk.

[milkman]

I hope the Chiefs get him in the 6th.


I'm sorry, that won't happen.

That's the round that Pioli will pull a QB out of his ass.

I agree with this. I like to get other folks' takes, but seems like every thread turns into a Sanchez/Stafford/Thigpen debate before quickly eroding into pages of name-calling.

Crabtree has done a hell of a job avoiding running...

And if you were going to take a WR based off nothing but pure talent Heyward-Bey would be the 1st WR taken and Crabtree would come in, in the 4-5 range.

[Valiant]

Jesus. The suck is strong with our defenses. :shake:

Yeah but the offenses in the conference will do that..

Yeah, he probably fractured his foot on purpose just to avoid running a 40 yard dash. It's amazing that a guy would opt to have a screw put in his foot instead of just running 40 yards. :rolleyes:

I'm not near the skeptic on this issue that many will likely be, but the timing couldn't have been more suspect...

I think his stock had to fall some with this, but anyone interested was probably going to take him no matter what.

[Mecca]

He's supposedly been injured since the season....

If that is true he purposely delayed his surgery to avoid running, he may actually think that the spots this costs him will be smaller than his 40 time would which would mean he runs a really shitty 40.

mecca they were pretty clear on the NFL network coverage that this was a fairly recent injury

[Mecca]

I guess in the end the overall point should be Michael Crabtree has red flags popping up all over the place.

[soundmind]

So the last little blurb says that Crabtree plans to forgo surgery and run at his Pro Day...what say you now planet?

I'd say he wants to prove something, but if he's risking injury, I'd tell him not to worry, he's gonna get his millions.

[soundmind]

Anyone notice that all this going on with Crabtree, nay-saying, questions, support and talent...meanwhile, every single break, I get a commercial reminder that "I can watch Michael Crabtree's path to the Draft".....ratings performance enhancers (steroids) anyone?

I tend to question things like this.

I don't think that sounds like a wise move. He should have the surgery and be ready for training camp. He risks further injury and personally, I never thought of him as a top five guy, anyway.

[FD]

He's lucky the Raiders are idiots and will draft him anyway.

[RJ]

This is stupid. I guess he feels like he has to run now to get his stock back up. Kid is getting bad advice, IMO.


http://www.rotoworld.com/content/Home_NFL.aspx



NFL.com's Adam Schefter reports that Michael Crabtree has decided to postpone his foot surgery until after Texas Tech's March 26 Pro Day.
Crabtree's stress fracture isn't painful at this time, but this pushes back his rehab period. He also risks aggravating the injury while training for the forty-yard dash. Assuming the surgery is still needed after March 26, Crabtree will miss his first rookie minicamp and not be cleared until mid-June.

[Mr. Laz]

foot injuries are one of the riskier injuries too


so many bones at such a high impact spot ..... never can tell when they will become chronic

[Coach]

Hopefully this ends the garbage talk of wanting to pick him with the 3rd pick.

[Chiefshrink]

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports that Michael Crabtree will be sidelined for the next ten weeks following surgery for a stress fracture in his foot.

He'll have a pin inserted into the foot. Crabtree has nursed this injury since mid-October in 2008, so it's no surprise to find out that something's seriously wrong. He will not work out at all before the draft. Crabtree's put a lot on film in Mike Leach's spread offense, but he risks falling out of the top 5-7 picks. He measured far shorter than expected on Friday and won't be able to answer questions about his 40 time at Pro Day. Feb. 21 - 11:53 am et

I don't know? I smell 'AGENT' all over this one. First he is going to and now he is not. He has had this injury since when? mid-October? Bottom line the recent talk of alot of NFL scouts aren't that impressed with his speed and his agent decided to take him out of the combine not to expose this even more. His agent hopes someone will still hopefully take a chance in the first 5 picks. What a TARD agent! JMO.

[Hootie]

I could be way off base, probably am...but I think it's a smokescreen...built in excuse for him after he runs his 40 if he doesn't get the results he wants..."yeah, well, I have a stress fracture!"

Solid point, he may be timing really bad in his practice 40s and be looking for a way to save draft position.
