Crowley is in a unique position with regards to Sam in that he's actually been in Sam's head, although he didn't spend a lot of time there. I think we've seen that Crowley "gets" Sam pretty well even without that perspective though - he knew exactly how to handle Sam in "The Devil You Know," for example. (He's got a good handle on both Winchesters, of course.) I'm sure at some point down the road he'll use his knowledge to his advantage.
I do admit that my view of Dean gets a little harsher with each passing episode of season 9... I keep telling myself that it will get better.
