Are there two different levels of expectations relative to Coker and Sims? Absolutely.
For fans, but not for the coaches. The coaches want the guy who will win and they have obviously selected him and are drawing this thing out to appease the fanbase.
As I said above, if that was Coker who played well against WVU and was easily dominant against FAU, there would be none of this talk. This forum and others would be talking about Heisman's or if he'll leave this year for the draft.
Due to it being Sims, it keeps getting painted as some anomaly, because "it can't be true and it can't be real and just wait.. just wait Coker will take the job!".
Sims won this job outright. He developed, he won the trust of his comrades and he is playing smart and very well. Yet his achievements are getting play down while Coker is placed on a mantle we're he is untouchable and has to be our QB.
I just hope Sims continues to win. God knows if he doesn't (even if he plays lights out and it's the defense fault) the amount of hate he will get (we all know why too) will be sickening.

Saban won't extend a competition to appease a fanbase. The competition is still on because Saban thinks Coker is going to be good and wants to get him reps.

I don't agree with everything you said, but I do suspect this is true.
As far as chatta's post on expectations, maybe they should be higher for Sims but no one should expect perfection. He's played very well but has made a few mistakes which doesn't seem nearly good enough for some people. Isn't that expecting perfection?

First off, nobody is saying Coker is untouchable. I'm just saying to give him an equal shot as you do with Sims. That's all.
Why is that? Is this some veiled accusation?
I've told you my position. I see where Sims gives us advantages, but I also see where Coker does in a different way. I'm also hesitant for Bama to have 3 and potentially 4 qbs in just as many years.
