Is Colin Kaepernick in Trouble Without Michael Crabtree? | RotoViz
In a word: No. Colin Kaepernick was efficient almost anywhere he threw the ball in 2012, including when he threw the ball to receivers that are primarily known for drops (Delanie Walker). It’s true that Kaepernick was very good when throwing to Crabtree, but it’s more the case that Kap just leaned on Crabtree a lot so the stats ended up being volume + efficiency. The table below shows Kaep’s attempts to his top receivers. It would be remarkable if Kaep could keep up this kind of pace, although I kind of suspect that the SF scheme deserves much of the credit.

Seattle Seahawks Blog - Hawk Blogger: The Measure Of Defensive Greatness: Best Scoring Defenses In NFL History
There have been great secondaries, great defensive lines, and prolific thieves that collected opponent turnovers by the bushel. Every defense is ultimately measured by their ability to keep opponents off the scoreboard. Opponent scoring average is a great indicator, even if there are some flaws. Points scored on offensive turnovers or in special teams show up on opponents scoring average and have nothing to do with the defense. A terrible offense can put the defense in precarious situations where even a three-and-out series results in a field goal. Still, legendary defenses find a way to keep their opponents scoring down. The game has changed too much to rely solely on points allowed as the measure of a great scoring defense. We will explore some more nuanced approaches to figuring out which defenses were the best ever at keeping opponents off the scoreboard.
