49ers coach Jim Harbaugh says Michael Crabtree is best pass catch of all time

[Sportsguy9695]

Michael Crabtree's big game in the San Francisco 49ers' 23-20 wild-card victory Sunday over the Green Bay Packers had coach Jim Harbaugh putting the receiver in a class by himself when it comes to catching passes.

The temperature at kickoff was 5 degrees, with a wind chill of minus-10, leaving many expecting that the freezing conditions would hamper the passing games of each team.

Crabtree, however, playing in just his sixth game since tearing his Achilles in the offseason, had a huge game with eight catches for 125 yards. Perhaps none was bigger than a clutch 17-yard reception during the winning drive on a third-and-10 pass from Colin Kaepernick with San Francisco at its 31.

"People talked about cold weather and it would be a tough-to-catch ball, but the greatest catcher of all time, Michael Crabtree, catches everything," Harbaugh told reporters.

That's just Harbaugh being Harbaugh.

I was impressed with some of the catches Crabtree has made. Kaepernick almost never hits a receiver in stride so Crabtree has to make some great catches.

I was too. I'm thankful to have Crabtree back.

I was surprised at how little the weather seemed to affect him yesterday. I thought he would have been a guy who was most affected. He has impressed me with his toughness.

Ya gotta love Jim's constant hyperbole.

Just a coach pumping up one of his players. Crabtree is awfully good at catching, though. What I like about him too is that he comes back to the ball when necessary.

 

[BINGO]

Crabtree has a way to juke people that it is almost disgusting as a defender to fall for his slow moves/dips. He always finds a way to get the extra 3 yards with his silly kindergarden juke moves. The kid is a natural.

Harbs can get a bit "odd" with his comments. He likes his guys, and he can tend to put them on peddle stools that are bit too high for anyone to deserve. I would prefer to play for a guy who thinks I am the best ever than a guy who thinks I am just good, though, so I am OK with it.

He's a good example that the 40 time is not everything. One day the Oakland Raiders will realize this.

I remember someone saying that he literally caught a ball with his forearm. Best pass catching hands and arms in football history.
