Carbtree (whom most people here wanted to give a contract in the 8-million-per-year range).
By the way, 5 catches; 37 yards and multiple drops week 1.
We were trying to win a SB despite Crabtree? Seriously? From week 13 on that season, he averaged 103 yards and had seven TDs in eight games, including 285 yards and three TDs in three playoff games. He accounted for a fairly astonishing 40% of receptions, 43% of receiving yards, and an even more incredible 64% of our receiving TDs during that run. He was one of the top receivers in the league during that span. And then he tore his Achilles and wasn't the same afterward. I'm not saying the guy would have been Dez Bryant with a good QB and a healthy Achilles, and I wouldn't have advocated giving him $8 million/year, but he was a huge part of our SB run.
And as you're so quick to point out, he's correct when he says that he's never played with even an above average passer.
