Unless your last name is Coker, I don't know how you could not pull for Blake Sims...
Andre Ware, is that you? :biggrin:

So whatcha trying to say Brad, Blake is gonna be better than AJ?Some comparative numbers through three games...
Blake Sims: 48/64 (75%), 646 yds, 4 TDs, 1 INT, avg QBR 89.6
AJ McCarron: 48/75 (64%), 579 yds, 2 TDs, 2 INTs, avg QBR 75.23
Greg McElroy: 46/69 (67%), 647 yds, 4 TDs, 1 INT, avg QBR 74.26
Amazing that some people still don't think Sims is playing well. Over the first three games, he's been better than our last two QBs, both of which guided Alabama to National Championships...
Admittedly, QBR is something I know nothing about, but how in the heck is the guy with a higher completion %, more yards, more TD's, and less INT's have a lower rating???AJ McCarron: 48/75 (64%), 579 yds, 2 TDs, 2 INTs, avg QBR 75.23
Greg McElroy: 46/69 (67%), 647 yds, 4 TDs, 1 INT, avg QBR 74.26
Well, in both those cases I simply averaged their QBRs over the first three games - that's not really an accurate way of determining the actual QBR. It somewhat akin to averaging one game where a player went 0-3 (0%) passing with another where he went 14-16 (87.5%) - if you simply average the two, you get a completion average of 44%, while the actual average would be 74%.Admittedly, QBR is something I know nothing about, but how in the heck is the guy with a higher completion %, more yards, more TD's, and less INT's have a lower rating???

Like a Ferrari!He's put in the work. As long as he does what he's suppose to and stay in the system he'll continue to blossom. The offense is humming right now, no need to change anything.

Lets hope that trend continues through 4 games.Some comparative numbers through three games...

It sure seems like he's won the job. He gives us an added dimension that we haven't had in the past. His passing % is incredible. I enjoy seeing him run and fake the opponents outta their jock straps.Thanks for this link.
I am not sure why people still think he hasn't won the job. He won the job and and unless he drastically regresses....I don't think he will lose it.
Disagree. In the game this past weekend wet learned he can throw and on a decent line that doesn't sit in the air for an hour....problem is he's slow on big passes. He waits too long and the players have to come back and fight for the ball instead of being hit en route.But he can't throw the long ball!!! *sharpening pitchfork*
What can you say except Blake chose the right Quarterback coach to study with. He didn't waste his time or money.Thanks for providing those stats Brad..Cause to me it proves that Blake has done an outstanding job, as a matter of fact, he's done as well as AJ, Greg, and JPW that came before him at this point of the season..Blake has earned the starting job by biding his time, becoming a better QB, with hard work & doing the extra things in the off-season needed to become a better QB..He's proven that he can lead our offense & has looked like a seasoned 5th year Senior should..I have no doubts we can win every game we play & make another NC run with Blake leading our offense..JMO
This is totally how I feel. I felt like after A-Day that Blake would never see a meaningful snap at QB, but he has proved me wrong. I also think Coker has a great shot at being a wonderful QB for us next year. In years past, CNS has asked coordinators to stay at least 2 years when they were hired, and if Kiffin does this, I think he could work wonders with Coker. He worked with Blake through the Spring and Fall, and I think it gave him the leg up this competition.What can you say except Blake chose the right Quarterback coach to study with.

I'm one of those guys who doubted Blake, based on a couple of poor performances at A-Day Games.
Looks like Blake put any Bug-A-Boos behind him and has taken control of our team.
I'm proud of him. He did it the hard way.
I've seen a Blake this season who instinctively steps away from the pass rush, now he has the confidence to pass or run.
I think the addition of Jake Coker pushed Blake a little harder to achieve. We are the beneficiary.
