You put down everyone around Smith but then refuse to view him with the same critical eye.

Crabtree showing up to practice and have 3 years in the NFL didn't really matter?
You don't like facts.
Crabtree 09-11 dropped 1 pass for every 8 he caught.

His role in the offense adjusted.

Crabtree ran 34.2% of his routes from the slot this season, while collecting 25 of his 63 first-down conversions from that position. Among wideouts who took 25% of their team’s slot snaps, Crabtree was targeted on a league-high 33.6% when he lined up inside. His 542 yards from the slot was 10th-most in the league, but most impressive was his 3.71 Yards Per Route Run as a slot receiver. That was the best mark in the NFL, and Calvin Johnson (3.15) was the only other wideout with a YPRR better than 3.00.

And your BS make-believe fact you pulled out your butt about how Troy Smith allowed Crabtree to emerge.
In 6 games Crabtree totaled 19 catches for 344 yards
