Question: How can Blake Sims be used?
- Thread starter Dakotatider
- Start date
Look, I heard him say (in some random presser) that he does not think he will be a starter but he will be given every opportunity. But i think from what i have heard is that he is doing way better than anticipated. there is no need to read between the lines or anything. It was a observation albeit a cursory look at the QB situation. If he comes out blazing it up then more power to him. But I love this type of problem. Problems like this having several very capable QB's are great.
Sims could be used a lot like Tee Martin was after Manning left. If I remember correctly Martin (from a passing perspective) wasn't asked to do what Manning did. They picked their spots, played to his strengths and let the other amazing talent around him do the rest. Martin wasn't a natural passer either. But they didn't put him positions to where he had to carry the entire team.
Until Coker is actually on campus and taking snaps he's not apart of the equation. So my mindset is the competition is between the quarterbacks currently on campus and Blake Sims more than likely has the edge over all of them.

If anyone thinks Coker has already won the position, I don't think they understand the way Nick Saban works...
That said, I'd put it at 80/20 that Coker is the starter midway through the season. I REALLY want Sims to win the job though (not have it handed to him because he's a senior, but win it)

I'm a bit confused about this statement. How is he not going to get a fair shake unless he improves?
Just curious, CrimsonForce, apart from the fact that CNS is bringing in a QB from JUCO, what else has he done or said that makes you think he doesn't "trust" Blake Sims? Has he made some comment insinuating that? Because if he has, we'd love for you to share it.
Remember, Leon Brown was a JUCO and did not earn the starting job. As was *ahem* Duron Carter. He brings in JUCO if he thinks they are ready to play, to provide competition, but at the end of the day the job goes to the best player. Austin Sheppard proved better than Leon Brown in practice, thus he was the starting RT in 2013.

Maybe because he felt he might at least have an opportunity at Bama. He was never going to start at FSU and he knew it.
