🏈 No more QB questions

[tidentrue]

not one to bash a player so that's not what this is, but Mccarron has outplayed Sims and thats all there is to it.

maybe could work on his "throw-it-the-hell-away" play, but other than that he is THE starter in my opinion

I concur. I hate it for Sims but he just doesn't seem to be just there yet. Hope he doesn't transfer out and will stick around. AJ has lots to learn but I feel more comfortable with the team in his hands than in Sims'.

I havent had questions since the Kent State game actually... no way imma bash Sims. tons of talent, tons of potential, still very young. AJ is the guy for us right now.

I don't see Sims transferring. As of this moment I think AJ is our QB, but I wouldn't gamble to say AJ could be the QB all year and next year I think Sims looks golden...time in the system

Its taking Sims a little while to catch up to the speed difference between high school and the SEC but once he does i guarantee you it will be hard to keep him off the field

Generally concur.
AJ looks to be our best chance to win, but does need to continue to grow (and find the missing throw-the-ball-away page from his play book). I believe he will respond well not having to look over his shoulder for Sims.


I like Sims. I look forward to him being under center, but he is not there yet...yet. We need him in Crimson. If AJ goes down, Phillip is THE man. He's is good enough that I believe that he leads us to a bowl, but the SEC is so tough that Atlanta would be a stretch for Sims (May be a bridge too far for AJ.)

Couldn't have said it better.

I am hoping that Saban can give Sims a little time to play against the Razorbacks. But I don't want to see a cold QB going into a close game. I think that we may need Sims later in the season and if he can get some experience playing against an SEC team all the better.

Of course, as someone pointed out, he is practicing against the best defense in college football:biggrin:

I'm just glad he did get a chance. That makes the decision a lot easier for all of us, there's no questioning anymore-- Sims is good, but AJ's just better for Bama at this point
