Does anyone know the personalities of our 6 QB's on here? If so, which one has the mental capacity for the 4th quarter in a SEC slugfest.

I don't think he can get it done at all. Especially against a good team.

I would expect Sims to have a wildcat package that we use a couple times a game and if it goes well we could see it more.

I'll take this one.....He can't get it done because he's not a good quarterback.

I don't get the Blake Sims hate. I mean some of y'all talk so bad about the kid but he's never done anything to invite that hate. What did Greg McElroy ever do as the backup QB? The Last two seasons some of y'all were saying Sims would never even take a snap at QB for bama. I just don't get why some of y'all want to put the kid down. It doesn't make you sound cool or smart.

And FTR, I don't think he will be the starter because 1) he doesn't fit the mold that Kiffin likes and 2) I don't know if he has the arm talent to utilize our WRs most effectively. But I'm not counting him out. I think he can help the team win by providing a change of pace or an experienced backup if we are in a pinch.

I've said nothing bad about the kid. I just simply stated he's not a very good qb.

i think this is a very important question.

what if coker doesnt pan out or he gets hurt, again?

all of a sudden, we are right back where we are right this minute. so, who on campus can play well enough to win the sec? personally, i don't have a freakin clue, do any of you?


to me, this is different from the mcelroy situation. i seen his film from hs, there wasn't any doubt he could throw.

I will however say this about Sims....I'd love nothing more for him to come out this spring and fall and prove me wrong and make me look like an idiot. I'd be super happy for Blake.

i'd definitely be kool with it. kid hung in there and paid his dues. but admittedly, he'd be different from what kiffin has done in the past. his skill set just doesn't match what kiffin has used. but hey, if sims steps up and gets it done, i'm good.

I respect your opinion, but his game film looks better than Coker's...

I am going in with low expectations of Coker so if he doesn't pan out I am not disappointed. I don't like how some people are already crowning him and dismissing everyone else.

That may be true, but I personally think Coker has a higher ceiling. I think for Blake to be successful he would need the entire scheme to be built around his abilities, and I don't see Saban or Kiffin wanting to do that.
