They are some-what similar in style and both pretty good qbs. If you had to have one as qb for your team...which would you rather?

I'm not trolling here, BTW...There was an article in the T-News where Cecil Hurt was comparing all qbs in the SEC and said that it could be argued that Marshall might be better than B. Sims.

Marshall is faster and more athletic, but I think Sims is perhaps a little more elusive. I think Marshall throws a better deep ball, but Sims protects the ball better. Both work very well within their respective offenses.

Sims is more versatile. Nick is good in the right system and is pretty clutch.

If in the AU situation from last year, Marshall. Probably Sims in most other situations.

Knowing what we know with no hypothetical scenarios, it's Nick Marshall.

Sims has a 18-3 TD-INT ratio and one of the best 3rd down conversion rates in the country, if not the best. Sims could also run Gusmalfunction's offense too if he wanted.

Sims>Marshall

One might, potentially play quarterback in the NFL. One definitely will not.

I'd take Sims in our offense. Smarter, better in the pocket, better decision-maker, better on short-intermediate throws.

I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but I think that Marshall is better in Auburn's offense than Sims would be, and Sims is better in Bama's offense than Marshall would be. Both are very good players overall.

Auburns best QB is on the bench. I'm worried when he takes over.

Marshall could not run a pro style system where as Sims could run Gus's gimmicks or a pro style which he is doing now.

The short and sweet answer: NM is better in GM's offense, while Sims is better in LK's offense.

Sims easy. He has impressed me big time against LSU come cool and just stuck the knife in our hearts in the last drive.

Honestly its impossible to tell. Sims is handicapped because he is a duel threat QB forced to play in a Pro Style set up. If he ran the same schemes Nick ran his production would probably be even better.

I guess the only way to answer is which would do better in the other's system. Would Marshall do as well in Alabama's system as Blake has done? Probably not. Would Blake do as well as Marshall in Auburn's system? Probably not. So I guess I have no idea which one is better. Both fanbases are probably happy with the one they have.
