this part here pretty much proves the point we're making on Crabs
The quarterbacks had a 119.5 rating when targeting wide receiver Michael Crabtree, tied for fourth-highest among NFL wideouts with 100-plus targets.
--Crabtree's 2.56 yards per pass route was third among WRs with 100-plus targets, and better than Calvin Johnson's 2.55 yards. Crabtree's 3.74 yards per route run in the slot was best by far of any other wide receiver. And his 543 yards after the catch was fourth among all WRs.
The rest is what most of us already knew... Alex was a higher % passer and Kap a bigger down field threat. Crabs picking up so many yards after the catch shows he's not just some over the top guy who couldn't flourish under a high % passer like Alex. If anything the advantage Crabs got from Kap at QB comes from Kap's escape abilities and being sacked less.
but there's just nothing here to show Crabs wouldn't have had pretty much the same year under either QB _________________________________ Reunion Radio Podcasts http://reunionradio.blogspot.com/ Twitter @therealoldpro
