49ers Receivers: Breaking Down the Position

Michael Crabtree is no longer a member of the San Francisco 49ers, having betrayed the red and gold and crossed the bay to the black and silver of the Oakland Raiders.

The addition of Torrey Smith should do much to offset this loss, however, and likely improve the position as a whole, as Crabtree continually underperformed as a 49er. After all, his initial weeks as a member of the organization were spent holding out seeking a better contract. With only a few flashes of brilliance to offset the enormous struggles his diva personality brought to the offense, the 49ers will be better off without him.
