McCarron and the WRs were 7th in the conference in passing. Ppg they were 4th in the conference and ton of that was attributed to defense/special teams scores. They were 6th in total offense. That's pretty average, slightly above if you give them credit for D/ST points.
Comparing Bama 2013 v. Bama 2012 is worthless.
This doesn't take into account the evolution of the conference as a whole. For instance:
2012: 445 ypg was good for 4th
2013: 473 ypg was only good for 6th
Also, using ppg game alone is an exceedingly weak argument:
2012: 38 ppg w/ only 2 D/ST TDs (1 KO return, 1 INT return)
2013: 38 ppg w/ 7 D/ST TDs (3 INTs, 3 KOs, 1 punt return)
As for the WRs, feel free to maintain that opinion if you'd like, but "delusional" is the word that comes to mind.
As for McCarron's Heisman invite, I've got no explanation other than it being a career appreciation nod. The NFL seems to think that was the case as well.
No back patting, more like showing how comical the responses were.
Yeah, your statistical evidence was so compelling and convincing.

so basically the same as they were the year before? where is the great decline that was predicted?

Yet it is OK for you to use the 2012vs2013 metric in your next point,
"2012: 445 ypg was good for 4th
2013: 473 ypg was only good for 6th"

I didn't use them alone, I also used ypg
Bama improved offensively from the BCS Title team. Bama regressed on defensive side statistically. You predicted a down year due to offensive woes, you were 100% wrong.

Statistically evidence is not needed for this argument, it was very obvious that Bama did not falter due to a much weaker offense. I just threw in a few stats for fun.
