Team accomplishments are not measures of individual performance
He passed for over 2,700 yards, ran for almost 1,000 more, completed almost 63% of his passes, scored 36 combined touchdowns, all while throwing just 9 interceptions - as an 18-year-old true freshman.
ETA: And to those who say, "Well...anyone can dink and dunk." You do realize that's what Alabama's been doing at the QB position since we started this run, don't you? Wilson, McElroy, McCarron, Sims, and Coker were all primarily dink and dunk throwers.

Yet really struggled against the better teams he played, not exactly the measure of a "Great QB". All we're saying is he isn't great, or wasn't last season. Was pretty apparent when he played teams like Washington, Clemson and LSU.

He is a great athlete that can run. But he was horrible at throwing the ball against a defense with a pulse. He may improve, but I just dont see it. Bama as a team will be fine either way
