I don't know if he was a beast of a qb at the end but he did play very well. Let's not pretend the blown coverages on Howard in the championship were some amazing play by Coker



I don't understand this logic. Sims throws a bubble screen to one of tGOAT Alabama WRs and Sims is awesome, but Coker stands in the pocket, takes a big hit to get the ball out to OJ Howard, is just a great play by Howard and Kiffin.

Ya cause Sims didn't connect to Cooper on any deep balls in stride. Comers were usually with the receiver waiting on it save for the Michigan state throw and a few others if I remember correctly

The point is Sims had to do way more than Coker. He had a quicker ball release, better deep balls, better scrambler, better QB awareness. Only thing Coker was maybe better at is accuracy but not by much.

and just to be clear, Coker's stats on passes over 15 yards weren't just below average, they were abysmal.

I like the kid. I am amazed at how strong he closed. Could not be prouder of him. but there is some serious revisionist history going on in here from the Coker camp.

there's a reason the coaches started Bateman in the Ole Miss game. There is a reason Sims beat Coker out. There is a reason Coker didn't get a Combine invite despite his ideal nfl measurables. It's the same reason we kept the training wheels on the passing offense most of the season.

Very proud of Coker. Sims was objectively the better individual player though. Coker was on the better team. The results reflect that.

I don't think anybody is saying that. When comparing their seasons, it's pretty close. Coker's last 2 games make it close. Without those(I know it's not really fair to take them away from him), Sims wins this easily.
