Finally looked up some info on Blake Sims, this is a totally different person . A former RB converted to QB, and beat out Coker?? Doesnt size up to well for BAMA.

But yeah ive been thinking it was Philip Sims this whole time, the guy who almost beat out AJ back in the day .

I am sure I am not the only one who has made this mistake.

Blake was recruited as an athlete. Played rb, wr, and qb at some point while being at Alabama. We will win with whoever plays Qb.

He hasn't beaten anyone. Sims was always going to start the opener. The team loves him, you can't just give the job to someone else without giving Sims a chance to show you what he can do in a game.

Where is everyone getting this? Did Saban announce a starter for the whole year or did the fact that someone reported that Sims would take the first snap against WV lead you to think he would start all season?

He started out at QB. He was in the same class as Phillip Sims. Moved to RB as a redshirt freshman and the back to QB. He's hardly a "converted RB".

You should have spent more time doing your research.

Had you done so, you would have learned that Blake Sims was a high school quarterback that briefly converted to running back before reverting back to his high school position.
