probably because he is dropping everything. Or not getting open...in his defense he is getting double teamed quite a bit

Alex Smith is not a WR friendly QB. He rarely likes to take shots down the field. Either he doesn't see them or he doesn't want to risk them or when he does, he is generally not accurate. He played great for 3 quarters on Monday, but you can't look at one game.
Crabtree played otustanding last year for hitting the field cold mid-season. I have faith in him that is based on past performance.
the offense itself is not WR friendly
Not entirely true, this offense calls for deep in routes and deep out routes. Those routes WRs rack up good yardage.
However you have to have accurate QB to make those throw.
ie. Troy Aikman, Philip Rivers

"As Sando and Biggs pointed out, in Raye’s 12 previous seasons as an offensive coordinator, only twice has a wide receiver reached 1,000 yards, and only twice has a wide receiver had more than 64 receptions. To put that in perspective, 22 receivers had more than 1,000 yards last season and 30 had more than 64 receptions."
Wow thats a real friendly WR offense...

I think Crabs will catch on eventually. I mean there's no bias with him in regards to Smith. But at the same time, u have more confidence in those that spent the pre-season playing in most games.
LIke we used the same words with N. Davis, saying that he cant do nothing all summer, and expect to grasp everything once the season starts. and in Crabs case, he didnt play in pre-season at all. that chemistry that he and smith were working on all summer, could of been tweeked in the pre-season games.
But with all that time gone, it's like starting over from square one a bit.
He'll get it eventually i hope. But in the meantime it's not about just crabs, MOrgan and Davis seem to be the duos carrying us. But when Crabs does catch on 100%, he's gonna do some damage, in my opinion

If that's the case, then he should've been bad last season as well. But he was able to come in immediately and contribute 7-8 catches a game with around 80-100 yds. I don't understand the drop off this season.

7 to 8 catches and 80 to 100 yards a game?
Try 4.36 catches and 56.81 yards a game.

Haha... not even close. It was closer to half of those estimates. And the man only caught 2 TDs. Orakpo or Oher would have been much better selections. Crabtree has skills, but his attitude sucks. He'll have to overcome that if he wants to be anything in this league.
