WE can focus on Sims and no, he was not perfect but he did give the team the best chance to compete and win from that position.

Also, what about the fumbles by guys like Christion Jones (Ole Miss) or TJ Yeldon (LSU) in key situations? What about the key drops by guys like, again Christion Jones (WVU) or DeAndrew White (Ohio State) as has been mentioned by several posters?

Nobody is perfect, but its clear that the only way Blake would have received universal respect from the fanbase is by being just that. As has been mentioned before, Florida was considered to be Blakes sink or swim game by many folks. He performed extremely well in that game (SEC & Home Opener), so maybe Coker will do the same this weekend. As a Bama fan, I certainly hope so...

I don't think that nb guy or any Bama fan doesn't respect Blake. He had obvious flaws, he had obvious strengths. It isn't like he was hating on him, just pointing out situations in his opinion that he didn't think Blake played well. All of our players have a list of games we could probably point to in a similar fashion. As for why nb brought them up I'm not sure. There does seem to be a group of people who think Blake was better than he was, but at the same time where is probably a group of people like that for a lot of players in history.

But anyway, I'm sure nb likes Blake. I don't personally know any Bama fans that don't. Hell after one season as a starter he became one of my favorites CFB players of all time, he probably had a similar effect on other Bama fans.
