He has to do it on the road.
He should have about 8 interceptions.
Tomorrow will be day that he either moves forward or proves that he can't cut it on the road.

I still don't think he's been that good.

He should also have a game winning drive and TD pass to OJ.
We should also still be undefeated.
I agree he has to prove himself on the road and needs to today, but the "ifs" and "should have's" go both way... not just negatively.

regardless, did you think he was capable of what he's doing now???? PROBABLY NOT.

Correct.

He's been good for a Bama quarterback. Let's face it. Our qbs don't exactly light the world on fire, particularly in their first year. The thing that sucks is that we won't get to see the improvement from year one to year two with Sims. 2012 AJ was so much better than 2011 AJ.
Maybe if Kiffin stays around awhile we may finally get consistent "dominant" qb play. With having three OCs in four years Sims play is the best we could hope for. I just wish he could be more consistent from home to road.
Here's to hoping he puts the "Home Blake" "Road Blake" to rest. Here's also to hoping that UT decides to single cover Coop

Kiffin has turned a RB into the best QB we've had in a very long time.
Goes to show the shitty QB development under Mac and Nuss.

i clearly was, as the stats shown only reflect those # of games, right? i'm not saying i don't think blake has played way above my expectations most of the time... but his struggles on the road keep me from stepping up and eating crow at the moment.

Man we could've had the Blake Sims era instead of the McTatbag era.
I wish someone would've tapped into the Blake Sims thing long before this season because the kid is obviously very talented.

Blake has done a lot of work outside of practice as well. That being said I don't think Blake would look as good had Nuss stayed this year.
I am excited for the future. Really hope Kiffin stays around a couple more years to develop our next quarterback. Imagine if Cornwell or Barnett reach their full potential

Just think of what Kiffin could have done with AJ.
Hopefully he sticks around for Coker and Cornwell.

Chatta embracing Shake n' Blake.
Let's hope he rewards such faith with finally a great road performance.

Thank God Saban got rid of Nuss.
Really hope Kiffin stays another three years if he can keep things up. Not realistic, I know.
@alabamabuckeye
I think Kiffin works better with mobile QBs. Their ability to create, extend and just do the amazing works well with him imo.

Nuss was handed the keys to the Mercedes and at times he looked like he shouldn't even be driving a Power Wheels.
I hope that Kiffin uses this time to not only get more comfortable running an offense, but a program as well. If he could get his shite together in regards to administration of a team he could be one hell of a coach.

It's a battle for me to adjust my expectations. Every year I hope that this will finally be the year that Bama produces a qb that is as dominant as the defense we consistently field and every year I'm disappointed.
During the offseason I'll again allow my hopes for dominant qb play and again be disillusioned when it doesn't happen. It's a vicious cycle
