"The 49ers thought they made the catch of the 2009 draft when Michael Crabtree fell into their laps with the 10th pick. Who knew what kind of hurt would follow him on the way down?

So, first year, no preseason, contract holdout. Next year, no exhibition games, hurt neck. Now, no preseason, hurt foot.

That leaves the 49ers hurting. With Crabtree, diva or not, the 49ers just didn't expect they'd have to chase, and be spurned by, almost-outcasts Chad Ochocinco and Plaxico Burress. Even the crazies are saying no, thanks, we'll take our act elsewhere.

Funny, so did running back Glen Coffee. He was selected after Crabtree, in the third round. Unlike Crabtree, he didn't hold out, his feet didn't hurt - just his soul. So he took a walk."
