My biggest beef with Saban over the years (and, let's face it, it's really hard to have any), has been his grooming and preparation of the backup/future QBs. If/when Coker is named the starter, I hope in blowouts he doesn't bring in Sims for mop up duty. I want to see Bateman (or Cornwell) get the garbage time snaps. And let them run the entire offense, not just hand it off three times on HB Dive Right and then punt. Get them some legit experience.

I understand why you are saying that but there's no way that Sims would not come in and play in that scenario. That would be a shitty way to treat him after all he has done to earn the right to play.
Not saying he should get all the snaps but he should play and then let the others get some of the last snaps.

Morris is ahead of both those guys on the depth chart

This could certainly be argued, but considering that every snap of every game played the last few years has had National Title implications, it is understandable why we haven't had a lot of extra snaps for the backup.... That being said, whomever starts at any position has my 100% support
