alasippi, you may be right. coach saban is loyal to his players, but, I really think blake sims disappointed him in the A game. he was unhappy with his not running ball on occasions when there was no other option. coach wanted blake to use the dual option when the opportunity arose and he didn't. I don't know who he starts, but, I do believe that his getting coker was not just to get another qb. I still think bateman, can be effective. coker just adds a dimension bama has not had since saban has been at bama. and I think the wants it to happen now. I leave it in the hands of the coach, but, I believe when the west va game is over we will all know who the qb is. I am not anti blake, I am just wanting to continue what coach and his staff have brought to the bama fans. starting a 5 year backup player is not where this team is prepared to go at this stage. at least I hope not./
