No he isn't. He's saying Saban himself has said the competition isn't over, so we don't know if Coker gives us a better chance or not. Gotta see him play first.


I personally said the QB competition isn't over.

But if Sims played the entire game on Saturday, is it reasonable to assume the coaching staff felt on that day that Sims gave us the best chance to win?

And did I imply to know the future or count Coker out?

Also, YOU AND I have to see Coker play first to know. The coaching staff doesn't. They know from hours upon hours upon hours of practice. Sure, games matter, but don't act like practice is irrelevant.

Notice I said, "Right now, Sims gives us the best option to win. That is a fact."

Maybe, but then you go right back to:

Coker's leg was wrapped
Away from BDS
Sims had a solid rhythm
Close game

So we don't know. After the game Sims had, if the competition is still going on, it's because Coker has shown Saban and Kiffin something.

I don't know. You said Sims gives us our best option to win, and you said it was a fact. But we don't know that for sure because we haven't seen the other guy. If you wanna assume that not seeing him means Sims is the best option, that's fine, but it isn't factual.

Practice isn't irrelevant, but a lot of players do bad in practice and awesome in games and vice versa.

Yes it is. And why did they think that? Because he's a 5th year senior and Coker just got on campus. Sims SHOULDN'T frick up.
