I thought Alasippi caught the most flack for defending Sims. I and my adamant position that he can throw the deep ball (the question now might be which Alabama QB could throw a better deep ball) caught some, but some people really gave Alasippi a hard time.
Anyway, I kept seeing Winston's name being brought up in the Heisman discussion, and there's simply no doubt that Sims deserved at least as much consideration this year as Winston. I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say he should have been top 3, but his name should have been a bigger part of the discussion.
Thanks so much K. I did indeed get some flack. BUT, I want it be known. I never one time predicted anything about Blake's future performance. I simply said that I thought Coach Saban would give him one opportunity to start one game. Our first game, this year, against West Virginia.
That was it.
That launched an avalanche of criticism. Oh well.
Hey. I got suspended from this board for defending Kevin Norwood when "experts" were calling him , "slow" and an "average" wide receiver.
It felt good watching him catching a pass for the Seahawks last week.
I despise seeing players, who are giving it their all for Bama, being scrutinized, so much.
That being said, Blake far exceeded my expectations.
He's been incredible.
Thanks again..
