Imagine if most of those passes were actually catch-able, meaning not behind him or over his head and were actually on target in stride..........man he would be a probowler
Bad definition. Not mutually exclusive.
When the ball hits your hands....
Yes your correctQB and Wr are not mutually exclusive. The wr success is dependent on the qb having success and vice versa. That's what i was getting at.
I didnt clarify myself good enough, i guess. One good example, of the many, would be the time Alex threw the ball to Frank Gore when they played against the Saints. It was a simple pass to the flat and Alex was unable to throw it accurately. Yeah the "ball hit his hands" but was not catch-able and led to a interception.
Im sure you're now going to tell me that Frank Gore is not a good receiver out of the backfield and should have done a better job to an amazing catch.
reason why is probally because his route running isnt that good before you say its an excuse look at the facts:
alex to vernon were 40 for 60 which is 67%
alex to morgan were 34 for 51 also 67%
alex to walker were 15 of 22 also for 68%
alex to ziegler were 8 for 11 for 72%
alex to crabtree 38 for 67 for 58%
so every wr that PRACTICES WITH ALEX GETS A QB % OF OVER 66%
Is this new to you. Actually, that was one of the knocks on Crabtree when he came out. The gimmicky spread offense that he came out of didnt require this of him. I've heard numerous people mention, that he was able to break off his route to open spots on the field. He kinda of was free on the field to a certain degree. Hes only played a year and a half and you guys are ready to give up on him. Wait till there is actual practices, so that Harbaugh or wr coach can help him with this aspect of his game better. Harbaugh is not there at these functions and i dont expect Alex to be able to help him much, considering hes new to this playbook.....and we all now how hard its for Alex to grasp new playbooks....right?
This is all funny to me, that when Alex came out of his gimmicky college offense, we all gave him time to transition, including me. Some are giving him seven years to see what he can become, but Crabtree no, he only has one and a half seasons before his labeled a bust.
ok before you were talking about how inaccurate alex is and how its alexs fault that the passes to crabtree are behind him bounce of his hands etc..
my point was that it was probally due to bad route running because all of the other WRs he throw to are over 65% completiton precentage
It could be to bad route running or maybe THE FACT THAT ALEX IS NOT ACCURATE. I will rather go with the bigger sample size, Alex six years, instead of Crabtrees year and a half. I will rather see more of what crabtree has offer to make a judgment on his abilities. I've already seen enough of alex to make my own informed opinion.
dude look at the above post i proved that alex was pretty accurate with all the other WR and TE he had a comp % of 66 or better crabtree was the only one less than 60%
I can post his overall stats and not cherry pick but then you will then just dismiss them, so whats the point. We have our own opinions on him and thats not gonna change. All i can say is if hes under center i will cheer for him, just like i will cheer for Chilo to do good, but im just not gonna hold my breath.

QB and Wr are not mutually exclusive. The wr success is dependent on the qb having success and vice versa. That's what i was getting at.
Pllleeeaasssseeee GTFO of this thread!
