I am thinking (duh) that if any newer player gets ranked above Sims as the starting quarterback.....he will have to prove it first on the field with fans watching just like McCarron proved during the first game or so that he was the better quarterback. My prediction is that Sims will start....

That just tells me that they will both play. I know that some people think that 2 QB's = none, but we might just have a legitimate 2 headed monster. I guess we'll find out Saturday. :popcorn2: Title: Re: "Saban not ready to name starting QB" Post by: XBAMA on August 25, 2014, 08:29:47 PM Quote Re: "Saban not ready to name starting QB" sure he is , he just isn't ready to share it with the rest of the world :lol2: (http://blog.locustfork.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Saban_Heisman2009a1Rcb.jpg) Title: Re: "Saban not ready to name starting QB" Post by: bamaphil on August 26, 2014, 04:26:46 AM Was anybody in Bryant-Denny for UCLA in 2001, when after a year of speculation Tyler Watts AND Andrew Zow were both announced as the starter five minutes before kickoff?

I think Sims and Coker are probably a little better, and I know we have much, much better talent surrounding them. Actually I think Watts would have done just fine if he'd had better players around him.

West V now has to prepare for two different types of QB. One is a running threat while the other seems to be a pocket passer. They have to look at the limited film of Sims from last year and then have to search thru FSU video to get thing son Coker.

It would be a nightmare for teams to prepare for.

It would be a nightmare for teams to prepare for. On the other hand, they could just all-out blitz like VT did last year. That's always a good strategy against a young or inexperienced QB. Title: Re: "Saban not ready to name starting QB" Post by: SUPERCOACH on August 26, 2014, 01:45:00 PM Run, pass, blitz, no blitz, it doesn't matter. They are still going to lose. 98-0. Which reminds me...

There are ways to beat that, though. Nuss didn't do a very good job of adjusting to many defensive schemes. I'm hoping that it will be different with Kiffin. |
