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.....

I think we can all agree that Bateman, in his limited action, practice reports and prep resume, is an option that everyone is more confident in than we were with Blake or Coker (even those of us who loved Blake and desperately wanted him to succeed).
Bateman was a highly recruited kid who played in a talentless high school area and needed major time to adapt to SEC football. He has a skillset that is plenty good enough to win football games in the SEC, especially with our roster. On top of that, we have a coach who has already shown he can win with guys who are MUCH less polished and ready than Bateman appears to be.
Like GetitRight said, I was hoping Barnett would take the job by the horns and be a star for 3 years. However, I'm totally content with Bateman running the show.
