Message to Michael Crabtree: Don’t be stupid
Michael Crabtree might just ruin his reputation by making a stupid decision. He is considering sitting out the 2009 season and re-entering the draft in 2010 all because he’s not getting the money he wants. His complaint is that lower draft picks are getting offered more money then he is. You know what I say…So what? Just be thankful you got drafted. The NFL needs to implement a couple of rules so here is my concept.
1. A rookie should not be allowed to make more then say like 5 million his first year. A rookie should only be given a one year contract then be able to renegotiate the contract after the first year. Sometimes college players are busts and then then teams are forced to pay all that money.
2. A rookie should not be able to dictate where he is drafted aka Eli Manning. If he refuses to play for the team that drafts him then he should not be allowed to play in the league for a year.
Athletes are so spoiled and they are a bunch of crybabies and Crabtree might just be one of the worst ones right now. Playing professional sports is not a right, it is a privilege just ask Vick, Burress, and Stallworth. Michael Crabtree should be grateful that he is playing for a storied franchise like the 49ers. They are in a rebuilding phase and he has the chance to be apart of something really awesome. I believe if Crabtree sits out this season and tries to re-enter the draft in 2010 his stock will go down because he will not be playing anywhere. His reputation will be horrible because people think he is greedy and selfish and all about himself. Not a good thing. This guy sounds like he could be worst then T.O., Moss, or Chad Johnson…My bad his name is Ochocinco. They are all great athletes but in terms of personality they are pathetic.
Lastly, if I was the 49ers I wouldn’t give him the money he wants now because he has missed a lot of training camp. If I were any other NFL team I would make him beg to want to be in the NFL. See Tebow and Bradford did the smart thing. They kept their mouth shut, went back to college and avoided being drafted by the Detroit Lions. Maybe Crabtree should have thought about his decision to go pro a little bit more. Michael Crabtree you have already lost my respect and you haven’t even played a game yet. Their are people starving, losing their jobs and don’t have a pot to piss in and you’re worried about how much more money you’re going to make then people the got drafted below you. It’s absolutely pathetic…Enough said.
