08:08 AM ET 03.07 | Jerry Rice took the occasion of a press conference promoting next month's TPC Stonebrae Championship ... to talk football. [Q:] Are you watching on TV to see how [Michael Crabtree] runs his routes? "That was something I was always looking for, and I just did not see separation. A lot of times, as route runners, you're always going to see that separation when a quarterback has no hesitation (and) he knows where he wants to go with the ball. That's something I didn't see from the 49ers. Maybe that's part of the game he needs to work on, getting that separation. ... I felt I had to be at a certain weight to get my quickness. I don't know exactly what he weighs. He could lose maybe 10 or 15 pounds and be more explosive."

Jerry Rice certainly knows what he is talking about, I really don't see this as "taking a shot"

When some people talk you take notice. This is one of those times.

Sportswriters sometimes don't know how to deal with intelligent comments that don't trash and bash players, coaches, fans or teams. I'd view this as "constructive criticism," and Crabtree would be wise to listen to advice from perhaps the greatest WR of all time.

That's not a shot... It's observation.

Crabtree will never make it on Dancing With The Stars until he trims a few pounds. Those outfits they were are totally unforgiving.

Because they are more interested in reporting on the next great, stupid tweet.

Office coffee pool. The idiot that bought this can is clearly from the shallow end.

OK, I read the whole interview. Good stuff, but what I thought was revealing was he thinks they should go after Peyton Manning.
That should be the story.

It's hurtful comments like this that send wide receivers straight to the toilet to purge and develop an eating disorder. Very sad.

Nonsense, we still need a fifth thread. Let's go for the hat trick.
