His body language said a lot on the sidelines. Helmet resting on the top of his head and arms folded. Didn't seem to be to engaged in the action on the field or what was going on offensively. Maybe the QB question for the season has been and is Sims to lose. With what I saw today I was very pleased with his performance and I know it's way early and that can change with the opponents only getting tougher once we get into league play. What do y'all think?

I thought Coker did a good job of eliminating turnovers and managing the game while he was in

I think Sims did a good job and will only get better and better. I wouldn't read too much into Cokers body language. He'll be the starter next year.
I do like the fact that it seems Saban didn't go to the kid and tell him the job was his. He had to earn it. Greise said that Coker looks good in 7 on 7's but has to think too much when going live with all 22.

That's funny! So are you just always a smartass and a comic or both?

Sims didn't do anything to lose his status as starting QB. 24/33 for 250 ain't bad. The 60yd jones drop in the 4th qtr was perfect. Two 100+yd rushers to complement.

On the other hand, the def looked suspect. Thompson HS has a couple receivers that could burn Sylve.

Sims def earned the job. This team has a long way to go. If they played Auburn today, they'd lose by 21.

The comic service I provide is at no charge. Roll tide!

I was also glad to see the O line give him the protection and time he needed to throw the ball. Something that was missing last season.

Nah, not to Auburn. Maybe to Texas A&M though

Na, be 28 if they played us.

You're drunk, Go to bed

Simms did a good job? Really? It was a wonder that he wasn't intercepted more, he telegraphs his throws, most of the time he took the snap and threw the ball even though the receiver was not only covered; but double coverage. He can not throw the deep ball, even the wide open drop by Jones was under thrown.

If Simms remains the QB there will be several losses this year since the Defense is lacking.

I agree, if Coker is having issues learning the system he should have been more engaged in the game and standing near Kiffin on the sidelines. Instead, he seemed to be moping on the sidelines. Blake did well, I believe the job is his for now.

If Sims is better than Coker, I'd be worried.

Sims didn't play great, but in comparison to his play in the spring game, he might be the next Joe Montana.

I said Joe Montegna.

I'll tell you one player who wants Coker in and that's Amari Cooper. You could tell he was pretty disgusted with Sims on several occasions.

I noticed this as well..... When he dropped back..... His head never left the receiver he was throwing to..... Good defenses are gonna pick up on that...especially when it's pointed out in the film room....

Sims just isn't a leader he did make a few smart decisions, but is a terrible game clock manager. Sims isn't capable of taken this team to a National Title like Greg or Aj did. I hope to see Coker in the future more then stand on the side line. Also somebody on the Defense is gonna have to step up and be a leader and take control.

Oh, no. We suck again.

That's a fact. Even though Sims wasn't that great, the defense was more of a concern than the offense. The secondary looks awfully weak again
