I hope Morris becomes the starter and we are so far ahead the stadium is completely empty in the fourth quarter just to see KrAzY go really crazy.

I have no interest in anyone in particular starting at Alabama. Unless it's via injury/transfer, I'd be happy with anyone buried in the depth chart starting for Alabama, because that means they impressed coaches a lot with their development. Now, as far as attendance goes, if Nick Saban said he wanted the fans to stand up for the entire game, shirtless, I'd start working out right now.

I really hope Coker comes to Bama. I think with him we would have not a big drop off from A.J. We have many talented receivers and we need someone that can get them the ball on a consistant basis. At this time what I've scene or heard we don't have anyone that can do this.

I didn't realize he played behind AJ in high school and grew up an Alabama fan. Hmmm. On al.com he squashes speculation of coming to Bama as rumors. Then again, what's he supposed to say 2 days before BCSCG?

Imagine the Xbox stuff CNS could do with Sims, Henry, Drake, Yeldon, Tenpenny, Cooper, OJ, C Jones and others - That is a lot of firepower.

And I remember hearing how Mettenberger, Marshall and that kid from Oklahoma the other night couldn't pass ... until they could!

I hope Sims steps up and takes it. Im rooting for the kid he is one of those gritty tweeners that is right there. I don't think we know what kind of a passer he is because he has always been in during mop up. I think the spring and next summer will show us where he really is. I think its his to lose. Go Blake

I for one think we have enough recruiting pride and quality quarterbacks and a system in place to be worrying about what some other teams 2nd stringer wants to do in a transfer. We have our quality qb's who have been in our system for a year. Is FSU so superior that their 2nd stringer is better than any QB recruited in the past 4 years?

I'm pulling for Blake even more now. I want the young man to succeed. He has worked hard, and I think he brings an interesting wrinkle to the offense. He is a Nick Marshall level athlete, and I know he is a Barner and I will never pull for him even if he is playing China in a game of football, but he is a great pure athlete. If Sims can pass at an acceptable level the added danger of him running would be fun watch. I always recruit a running QB on NCAA Football on PS3, and immediately put in the wishbone. I love running QB's, but more importantly I want what's going to bring wins to Bama, and I trust CNS and company to make the right decision.

Sorry but Sims isn't really close to being, as you put it, a Nick Marshall level athlete. NM runs a legit 4.4 40 yard dash where as Sims is in the 4.6 range. Doesn't sound like a big difference but it is. NM is easily a step and a half quicker/faster than Blake Sims. Not really a knock on BS as NM has this advantage over most other QBs as well.

I don't think you are giving Sims much credit. NFLDraftScouts has them both virtually tied:
Blake: [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-1][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-1][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]40 Low:[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]4.40[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]40 Time:[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]4.49[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]40 High:[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]4.58
Nick: [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-1][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-1][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]40 Low:[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]4.38[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]40 Time:[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]4.48[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]40 High:[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]4.59

Nick is a tiny bit faster, and a tiny bit taller, but there's not much he can do that Blake can't.[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]

Agree with that. Besides, that would be demoralizing for those who originally committed

Alabama recruited both FSU's first stringer and second stringer, so I'm not really sure that means anything at all.

From Winston's words it sounds like Coker had one foot out the door. JW was saying how Coker would be great at another school and that he could play anywhere not named FSU.

I think you are right. I am amazed that BAMA fans want to toss everything out the window and play Auburn ball just because we lost 2 games. Improve our weak areas and play our game is all we need to do.

You play your best players and scheme to their strengths. Why is that "Auburn ball?" And how is that throwing anything out the window? I think one of our weak areas might be reluctance to adapt as quickly as circumstances require. Dinosaurs had the same problem, admittedly a little more severe.:cool2:

he is right. Sims is not close to Marshall as far as speed and quickness. And he darn sure doesnt have the arm strength of Marshall. Not even close. again, nothing against Sims, and screw Aubren.

You know we can talk but the Coaches will decide this, if Sims could bring us a NC that would be great, I could see him in the Wildcat and why we didn't use him a few times this year makes me Question this even more.

superbamashane · Jan 8, 2014

Dont know if its wishful thinking or hint dropping, but Chris Black mentioned him on Twitter a few minutes ago. "I keep hearing about this Coker dude"....

ken01fan · Jan 10, 2014

@DrewDALIntel: Hearing that FSU QB Jacob Coker was granted his release from the Seminoles today; look for him to transfer to UA as intel has reported

colbysullivan · Jan 10, 2014

I thought it wasn't going to be until this summer?

ohiotide14 · Jan 10, 2014

There is some confusion. I think he was released from his football scholarship, but I was under the impression he wasnt graduating until the spring semester. If that is the case he would be eligible to come on board in the fall correct? I really want this kid. From everything I have read he has the talent and the arm to really pick up right where AJ left off. 2 years of eligibility would be huge also.
