re: Sims is better than Coker... let's be real.

But he can't stretch the field. You can't run the ball if the safeties are at the line. Saban's whole offense depends on the threat of a deep ball.

No it doesn't. It depends on run-pass balance, protecting the ball, and accuracy in the short and intermediate passing game.

And some of you are going overboard on this "can't stretch the field" critique IMO. Yeah he missed a couple but what QB doesn't? That 1/5 on 15+ yard passes they showed? They flashed it immediately after CJ dropped his second pass of 15+ yards. 3/5 on deep passes is actually really good, but by all means, lets write him off because of 1 misleading stat in his first game.
