This is one thing (among many others) that Alabama and Saban are so much better at understanding and implementing than we have ever been. When they throw deep the QB puts a ton of loft on it basically making it the easiest of possible catches for a receiver. I don't get caught up on how nice a pass looks or how great a qbs completion % is. Tim Tebow got robbed of a 5+ starting career because everyone was obsessed with the optics of passes and completion %. He won games, was a great runner and an elite leader.
Those throws were NOT a 50/50 throw. What are you watching? He just could not physically get the ball to the WR. Even though they had 10 yards of separation completely around them (the only time all year they were that open as well)
