Fisher: Including what they've had, he's much more talented than anything they've had. I don't mean to discredit the previous guys, they were all great. But this guy is extremely talented. Arm and mind. He's a backup because he's behind the best quarterback in America. (Coker) may have been one of the top three or four quarterbacks in America physically.

quote:

"I've never had anybody with his size who throws it as well as he does," said FSU QB coach Randy Sanders
Asked if Coker's arm is even better than Winston, the resident Heisman winner, Sanders paused for a few breaths before saying, "Coker's arm is kind of at a different level. Jameis has a very special arm, and this isn't any knock against Jameis, but Jake's probably the best I've seen in 25 years at throwing it."

Didn't ESPN or someone rank Coker as the 4th best QB in the conference?

What a fricking bunch of clowns when it comes to Alabama.

You can be talented but suck at QB. Ryan Leaf had a cannon.

He's been on Heisman lists, All-SEC lists and received a 1st round draft grade by some NFL analysts. He may end up making all of those things eventually but c'mon.

This is because most of us good posters took the spring and summer off to avoid the idiocy of the offseason. We back and we are just as level headed as we were before.

Gotta give it to Saban, he gets kids who won't start 1st round ratings, running backs of the kind we see every year the Heisman, simply good QBs Heisman invites, etc.

Look, I'm no fan of Bama either, and I realize everyone is having fun trolling the Tide. Obviously, they dish it out on the regular as well. LSU is having the same problems, but at least our guys are younger.

Ok now mt turn: The great QB guru Lane is now teaching Coker and Sims. The reason no separation exist is because Lane has coached them up to be tied for the best two QB's in the college ranks. Amirite

I would agree this is the most likely answer.

This should actually be the biggest concern to Bama fans.

I'm sorry, I must have missed the whole 2014 season where everyone was able to watch Coker and Sims play and come to a conclusion about how good they are? If anyone can link a youtube or two of some of the games from 2014, I would be so fricking appreciative. Thanks.
