I agree with cj on the crow aspect. If you neglect the crow, you neglect the information the reed is trying to relate to us. I have never had a reed that played up to pitch that was below a "C".
However, I think the crow is only one part of judging the pitch. There needs to be a relationship between the "A" and "C".
I play the reed and get and "A", then pop the reed into my mouth and crow getting a "C", so you get this kind of straight tone moving a minor third to the crow; like an inverted donkeys bray.
Right here is where the relationship between crowing and playing shows itself. If the A is below pitch then the chances the C will be low are pretty good, meaning you will be flat and will have to bite.
It's no good using just the crow as the sole determining factor for pitch: we don't play with the reed in that position. Likewise, just playing the reed and gunning for an in-tune "A" means very little if the crow of the reed is a C# or D.
There needs to be a relationship between the crow and the playing of the reed.
Hope I have explained myself fully, and that some of you try it for yourselves.
