I'm fine with Bateman if he becomes the guy. He diff look shell shocked against ole miss, but he obviously wasn't ready. A lot can change over a year. Possibly our smallest arm on the roster, but still enough to throw it down field occasionally.


Yep. We badly wanted the read option game to be there, but Cooper had probably never run that against a live, hitting defense and they were asking him to make those decisions on the fly against a pretty terrifying group of defenders.

I have full faith and confidence in Lane Kiffin taking a kid and having him ready for the season in that capacity.

I don't know that more really needs to be said than this right here.

Even before Kiffin, Saban's record of picking a winner at QB was rock solid. Kiffin just took it to another level with what he's done with Sims and Coker.

I was hoping Barnett would be the guy for the chance at a 3 year starter with a big arm but if it is Bateman, then I have no doubt he'll be a winner.

And there are far worse things to have at QB than a GMac with wheels.....
