To be completely honest I don't like Crabtree he only looks decent on ST.I watched him closely during the film in the eagles and the bills game.I didnt see anything special.He is a ok blocker but looks like he has no strength in the passing game.I would love to see Quarless activated sometime this year he is a better receiver than crabtree and it seems to me crabtree gets motioned a lot and goes out as a receiver and never gets open.
Thoughts? You guys think quarless should get time to play more so than crabtree?

i wouldn't mind if he got more playing time. i still think he's pretty rough though. i'd say give him some spot time and by next year he should be ready for an expanded role. i've heard a lot of comparisons to finley in reference to quarless. could you imagine if we had two TE's with that ability?!

Quarless is probably a bit raw.

And we have the perfect TE trio active for gameday. Finley is a recieving TE, Lee is balanced, and Crabtree is a blocker. I'd rather have a recieving and blocking TE on the field, than two recieving TEs. Especially with how bad our OL is.

I just watched the bills game and I noticed that too; seeing crabtree out there a fair amount of plays - was wondering why. I think that perhaps MM is trying out some 2 TE formations.

And ya maybe crabtree is the better blocker. I still think we could get rid of 1-2 TEs and be fine. Heck even 1 FB.

Here we complain about the lack of the running game, and now we want to take the best blocking TE off the field.

Then take a look at his contributions on special teams.. I believe he is in all packages.. maybe not but it seems like it.

So, they are activating Finley, Lee and Crabtree at this point.. I think when Quarless is ready, he will bump Lee off the active list in place of Crabtree..

Additionally, I don't think Crabtree is a [strike]back[/strike] bad option on offense as a receiver, sure he might not be as dynamic as Fin or Quarless.. but I don't think he is a negative either.

Finley was raw as hell his first year and he was a 3rd round pick. Quarless, in a similar mould, will take some time to sharpen up.

And as has been said, we don't need him right now. We have four quality WRs, an elite pass catching TE in Finley and an adequate one in Lee.

Crabtree's blocking will probably be needed even more on Monday to provide some extra help dealing with Peppers.

I hadn't noticed Crabtree running any routes. You must watch these games closely, Finley. With the special teams playing so well, I hate to change the lineups. Maybe Quarless will have to prove himself on special teams in practice before he can start making the gameday roster.

As pack93z says, maybe Quarless will bump Lee rather than Crabtree off the active list, although barring injury, that probably won't happen till the 2011 off season, when I suspect Lee will gone completely.

Crabtree plays on 5 of the STs. If you want to replace him with an extra receiver that we don't really need all that much at the moment (and wont help as much on ST) go ahead but I'll say no thanks.

I agree with most everybody, we have plenty of receiving threats out there, don't need another one. Keep Crabtree for his blocking but definitely for his special teams.

Keep Crabtree as a blocker, especially this year while we are (or certainly have been) suffering with Jackson at the helm. Quarless does certainly pose a threat as a receiver but lets be honest, are we week on receiving players right now? Nope.
