How Good Is Blake Sims?

I've seen lots of Bama fans complain about him.
He almost got pulled against Saturday Auburn, yet he always seems to engineer game-winning drives.
Is he really their weak link or is this a case of simply not living up to unrealistic expectations?

Blake Sims is either our weakest link or our biggest weapon at any point in the game.
Probably the most explosive Dr. Jek Mr. Hyde out there.
Just know, if he comes out on fire like Tennessee and Florida...it's gonna be a long day in the dome.

Inconsistency is a big part of it. Having Cooper helps him out a lot. He seems to have guts, though. Dude has been clutch.

That's an excellent question. One that I don't think has been answered. Saturday (neutral field) will go a long way toward answering the question.

he's definitely not the weak link. That would probably be the OL.
I think Blake's biggest problem is he gets caught up in his own mind; kinda an analysis by paralysis type deal. When he lets that go and just plays ball he is probably our biggest asset.

Mizzou's ends are going to wear down chasing Blake around this weekend. I see him getting at least 60 yards rushing to go along with about 350 yards passing.

Blake suffers from what i think alot of guys who were labeled running qbs go through, and that is the desire to prove they are not. So he will sometimes throw a bad pass rather than take off running into the acres of open field in front of him. But he is also one of the most clutch players i have ever seen. Sometimes he digs a hole, but he is pretty spectacular getting out of that hole. Honestly, if he would take off running a few more times a game we would be pretty much unstoppable on offense

Nobody thought he would be the starter this year, so I don't think you can say there were unrealistic expectations for him.

Average QB that makes his living off Cooper. If you can somehow cover Cooper like Arky, LSU, and OM, he won't do too much.

He is clutch. Has a few bad throws but he knows how to put it together when the game is on the line. Very decent college QB.

Possibly the worst QB at running a read.

He has good physical abilities and can make big throws/runs, but he's also kind of iffy when it comes to running the offense.

Hasn't yet, but I believe he'll make the mistake that costs them the ship...

Sometimes he's atrocious
Sometimes he's fantastic
He's never just ok

Sims is a very good QB.

It depends on if he is at home or not
Posted on 12/1/14 at 2:25 pm to Mizz-SEC
he's not very good
now that doesn't mean he can't pull something out of his arse cause he's done that plenty
but that in and of itself doesn't make him "good", just able at certain points/junctures

He's not a man - he's a god
