They didn't "work out" as a QB-WR1 duo because Crabtree isn't a true ****ing #1. Never has been. Never will be. His skill set is that of a #2. He doesn't see this, hence me calling him delusional. Maclin is a true #1, hence my point there.
He's insinuating that was Alex's fault ("Why couldn't he throw ME the ball like that?"), and that he's all of a sudden become a different QB, which is false.
The reason why I say he insulted Alex is because he acted like it was a big ****ing surprise that Alex and Maclin had any success together. It was his way of saying I'm surprised he could get him the ball. If that's not an insult to your former QB, I don't know what is. |
He has shown the ability to be a true #1, specifically while he was playing with Kaep in the latter half of 2012 including a pretty stellar postseason as well as another pretty good postseason game in 2013.
Shit, even as a #2 with Derek Carr he had a better season statistically than Cooper in some categories.
Skill set isn't the end-all-be-all in determining starter potential. Bowe, Boldin, Rice, Roddy White, etc are all possession receivers who have been #1s throughout their career.
