re: *** OFFICIAL WE TALKIN' BOUT PRACTICE! ***

The flipside to that argument: if Sims is as bad as many people are convinced that he is, it should've taken no time at all for Coker or Bateman or Morris or anyone really to beat him out for the job. Shouldn't have taken long at all. And while Coker hasn't been with the team that long, he's not exactly coming straight from high school either. He's been a collegiate QB for 3 years just like Sims. He's been versed on college-level film study, reading defenses, calling audibles, sliding protections, ball security, etc... And while he's new to Bama, he spent those 3 years under a Saban protege who is considered a top-rate QB developer.

At any rate, the battle is going to continue into the season. Hopefully at least one of them will shine under the Georgia dome lights and we can move on to discussing something else.
