I don't think they can win consistently with that kind of yardage. Unless they're either 1) situations like Sunday where they're handed the ball in the red zone by the defense, or 2) a game where the running game goes over 200 yards (something I don't believe we'll see much this year). 4.9 yards per passing play won't win a lot of games. Fortunately, I also think that figure was a bit of an aberration, and that Alex is more likely closer to 7 ypp than 5 on any given Sunday.

I don't think we'll see him under, say, 30 attempts very often. Which is why I don't think we'll see him under 200 yards very often. He may not be Drew Brees or Tom Brady, slinging 3 and 4 hundred yard games, but he's also not Matt Cassel. Those yardage numbers will go up a bit by default, I think.
