Makes me a bit sad. I liked Morah. His catch and run in the playoffs againt the Saints was spirited.

Morrah has appeared in 27 games in four years and has 16 catches for 194 yards.

We pick up pro-bowlers like Julian Peterson and Michael Robinson
they pick up duds or past it players like Darrell Jackson, Ricardo Lockette & Cameron Morrah

Sad. This tells me if they sign him it's simply to gather intelligence on Seattle and for pretty much no other legitimate reason.

Some of the more knowledgable niners there say that he's a real good player. the problem with him, it seems is that he's been injured too much to have been a factor in getting a role in the teams he's played with.

You mean like Brett Swain, the receiver the Seahawks signed? The guy who couldn't even make the Niners roster? All teams do this... They sign camp bodies from rivals to get some inside info about their offense/defense then cut them come regular season if they can't earn their spot.

If he appears to be a natural successor to Delanie Walker I'm all on board. The asset that made Walker most valuable is his athleticism, and based on the posts in this thread it sounds like Morrah also posses unique physical talents.
Even the best rookie prospects aren't a guarantee, so I think I feel a bit better about bringing in someone with experience for the backup position then laying hopes on a rook.

Been a while since I've heard the "magic strength and conditioning program" homerism, thanks for the chuckle and good luck with that.

Several analysts as well as players from other teams around the league have commented on the level of conditioning of 49ers players, do you believe them to be wrong? Do you believe strength and conditioning is a scam? I don't know why that's an absurd topic.. The 49ers have been been relatively injury free since Harbaugh took over, and the injuries they did suffer were isolated incidents usually dealing with a specific play - ala Manningham getting his knee destroyed in Seattle.

A poster claimed Morrah wasn't much of a receiver but a good blocker. Yeah, okay.
If he can stay healthy, he can catch some balls and be a weapon for SF. I see him catching just enough balls to be annoying.

The Seahawks were utterly immune to injury last year aside from crappy DC grass, but that doesn't mean I'm not holding my breath every time Sidney Rice takes the field because...drum roll...injury history means something.

Injury history does mean something, you're very right there. But that shouldn't stop me from having hope. In the first two years of the current regime, we've seen Harbalke take players relatively outcast from other teams and turn them into play-makers/contributors. I'm hoping this young man can be the same because I was really sore about losing Walker.
As an aside; Frank Gore tore up his knee in college and he's been fairly free of major injuries since he was drafted in 2005. That, also gives me hope.

Aggressive smash mouth teams tend to have less injury issues than the Finesse teams and I think that is due to trying to move forward as oppose to trying not to move back.
Strength and conditioning obviously helps but that IMO is much more on the player themselves. If they are not motivated to aggressively pursue the strength and conditioning program, the coach/coordinator means very little but for those willing to put in the work, even an average S&C coach will have success.
