Jerry Rice isn't sure that rookie wide receiver Michael Crabtree could have a huge impact on the 49ers this season. Rice believes that Crabtree, who is still unsigned, is too far behind already. "It's just unfortunate," Rice said Sunday. "And it doesn't look like they're getting anywhere close to coming to an agreement. This guy's way behind, way behind. I'm talking the speed of the game, everything. If they brought him in right now, I don't think he's going to be ready to play." 49ers team president Jed York recently tried to schedule a face-to-face meeting with Crabtree and his representative, Eugene Parker, but hasn't heard back.
