re: Did we complete one pass over 10 yards in the air today?

Outside of passing, he has all the intangibles you look for in a good dual threat QB. His timing is just off and hopefully this bye week will allow for him to get a lot of passes in (skeleton drills) with little to no game prep.

I hear you man, but I think his passing is a serious problem. This isn't something you fix in a bye week. Jalen Hurts is the worst passing QB we've started under Saban by far. He has great running ability, and great intangibles, but boy he is really lacking accuracy and timing. I mean we have GREAT receivers. Our receivers are one of our big strengths and we can't even use them except for jet sweeps and screens. On the plus side, he can pass just well enough to where the defense actually has to defend the pass.
I love our defense, but I haven't seen any improvements in passing since week 1. We've got what we've got at this point. If Jalen can crank it up a notch in the passing game, we could go all the way. If not, it's gonna be really tough. Regardless, we should expect to win the SEC this year.
