The point is Sims had to do way more than Coker
Until the playoffs, in which case I'd argue that both had to do the same job. One accomplished it, and one didn't. Blake doesn't throw the pick six, and we probably beat tOSU. If Coker threw a pick against Clemson, we likely don't win that game either.

this inclination to assign team results to quarterback performance is a meme as old as football. It's ridiculous though.
If Sims had played Michigan state instead of osu and had the 2015 defense instead of the 2014 version, it might be a fair comparison. as it stands it's disingenuous at best.

The topic was who do you pick, not who played better in the playoffs. I personally go with Sims and the fact that he didn't play great in the OSU game doesn't change it much for me. Sims and Cooper willed our team to what they accomplished in 2014. In 2015 henry and the d were our rocks in with Coker coming on strong and playing great at the end.
And we still needed an onside and a kick return td to get it done. I've already said it but if I have one drive to win, I go with Sims. Nothing anyone has said has changed my opinion on that at all.

Coker also had 33 total touches in Clemson game while Sims had 46. He just wasn't asked to do as much. I don't see how Sims wouldn't have had just as good as a performance if he had played in same senario as Coker did. That being said both QBs exceded expectations and are school legends but I just think Sims is better.
