Though by almost any standard Michael Crabtree had a fantastic rookie season, there will always be a sense of "what if" about what the former Texas Tech Red Raider could have done in 2009.
What if he hadn't missed all of training camp and the first six weeks of the season?
What if he had the time to build chemistry with Alex Smith and the rest of the receiving corps?
What if he had learned the nuances of Jimmy Raye's offense before having to prove himself on the fly in regular season game action?
While we'll never know the answers to these questions, we will be able to see a preview of just how great Crabtree can be as he enters his first NFL preseason. His reps may be limited, but if the 49ers hope to finally meet franchise expectations, Crabtree and Smith will need to gel early on
