I’m sure I’ll get blasted for this but it’s Blake Sims and it’s not close.
He was awful against Ole Miss and Miss St. He was a turnover machine against Auburn and Ohio st. I know Coker wasn’t the best we’ve had by any stretch but the offensive talent fit his style way more. If he plays all year we likely would’ve won back to back championships. Teams were terrified of Coker’s big arm and they never loaded the box. The best teams loaded the box against Blake and dared him to beat us with his arm.

Coker wasn’t ready in 2014. He didn’t really start taking off till the 2nd half of the season. And funny you mention Ole Miss and MSU, because Coker was even worse than Sims was against them.

Yeah he threw 3 picks versus AU, but he also scored 5 TDs, had almost 350 total yards, and a 197 passer rating. There’s also the UF game and SECCG game versus Missouri. Both 25 defenses he shredded.

Both Coker and Sims had bad and good games. Neither was clearly better then the other.

Yup
He was better than he gets credit for. He had the biggest arm of any QB we've had in the Saban era, and was a tough runner
