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

I guess some here would rather have a scared Bateman forcing ducks into double coverage and getting tackled from behind on scrambles.

Sounds like some sour grapes from the preseason QB competition is what's going on here.

Do you really think that?

Other than you and PowHound, I haven't seen anybody even mention Barnett or the earlier qb competition. I can't speak for anybody else but personally I think it's probably a good thing Barnett transferred because, otherwise, there may be a divided team at this point. As it is, we are still undefeated, winning in pretty good fashion, in fact, and ranked #1 in the nation. I just can't believe many Alabama fans don't like that.

That said, have you not seen open receivers that we've been missing? Have you not seen errant passes that should have been completed, or passes that the receivers had to break stride that could otherwise been touchdowns? As noted many times now, most of our passing yards are of the jet sweep, screen, short pass variety, though we have an awesome receiving corps that can do much more than that.

No. I think it's just a legitimate topic on a sports board. People have opinions, and sometimes, one guy's opinions may differ from the next fellows. I think it's pretty much that simple.
