Link: Bama Has a QB Battle Between Sims and Ely
- Thread starter RTR91
- Start date
I think Sims playing in that last drive was just to give the pork swords something else to think about and prepare for!
Exactly..You never know until they get thrown into the fire..Some players thrive when their number gets called & some buckle when it's their time..Ya just never know..
I was surprised to see Simms off the bench ahead of Ely last week...In any case, it's good to see the 2/3 teamers getting some reps just in case we need it. Hopefully, it won't be an issue.
Outside of experience being the obvious way for both players to get better, this competition can make both better QBs.

This is an article that coach Saban would probably not like because Blake could very well be a package QB and not really on the depth chart as the starting QB. Kind of like we have a nickel and dime package, his position could be considered something else.
The question that should be asked is if Blake runs the entire offense in practice like Ely, or does he fill a role in certain attacks?
If Ely is wearing the headset, then he is 2nd string QB if McCarron had an injury with Blake playing a much bigger role as a QB too. I personally don;t believe Blake Sims will ever be the starting quarterback dee to his consistency throwing the ball.

Blake Simms I predict will start getting reps in pivotal times doing a "Wildcat Package" similar to what Ingram was used as 2 seasons ago. The only difference is that Simms is a very viable pass threat out of this set.
Understand this is pure speculation but I would be surprised if we didn't see it at some point soon.

I hope the battle for 2nd spot between Sims and Ely is an illusion like the battle for the starting position between P. Sims & McCarron was an illusion in 2011. If the battle is for real, we really are in a world of hurt if for some reason McCarron can't go in the future.
I thought it was smart that Sims got to play last week. The more experience for back up QBs the better. Hopefully, our O-line will get themselves together and protect him better than last week. If they do, there is less chance for AJ to get hurt. That would be a severe crimp in our NC chances if he is out for any length of time.
And how did that battle turn out? Didn't seem so bad to me with a NC coming from it. So if this "so called battle" turns out the same way then things aren't as bad as so many of you naysayers seem to think, huh? Wow , just WoW!!!
Julie Taylor is the worst part of that show. Tammy Taylor on the other hand...
Laughed my butt off when she and Matt were caught by Coach Taylor in Matt's bed. Hilarious.
I don't understand you on this one. How is this bad? Are you meaning that we need a #2 guy set in stone? I don't really see how this is a problem. Many folks were split on who the #2 guy was; this seems to indicate that is the case.
Now, Mrs. Taylor was great and all, but Tim Riggins was the best part of that show. "Texas forever."
