I've got no doubt that he has upper half ACC ability when he's healthy. He just can't miss as much playing time as he has.

I've really enjoyed the press conferences of all of our position coaches during fall camp. I would post them, but you can go look them up on the GT Athletics Youtube page. They've provided many great insights and in general make me more confident in the coaches we have leading our team. I wish this was the unit we had a year or two ago to be honest... hopeful we see the progress quickly as we all know this staff is on a short leash.

I got to hear Weinke speak at a QB Club just a few months before we hired him. He clearly knows his stuff. I think his hire was a solid and needed addition to our staff.
We won the recruiting battle because all the other Major College coaching staff said He wouldn't play QB. For a kid that only wants to play QB, we're the ONLY option. I hope I'm wrong, but for the last 2 yrs he's shown why they didn't want him as a QB. FSU and Maryland both said he wouldn't play QB

The most boss thing is the emphasis made of his growth or understanding of the offense and managing the game. It’s classroom work over the physical stuff like mechanics or whatever.
Weinke is impressive thus far.
They came away looking like dumbasses, too.
Yep, injury and TOs. When he has been on the field he has done some great things.

Yea, I don't recall anyone say he wouldn't be playing QB. Maybe confusing with JT5?

Dude you're confusing him with Justin Thomas. Sims was always an elite QB prospect and flipped from FSU.

And he has to take better care of the ball. He’s a fumble machine.

If this coaching staff can win enough this year to survive, Sims has a chance to be really good next year. Good enough to make himself some money in the draft.
If the staff can’t win enough this year, Jeff will have to start over with new coordinators/QB coach (either here or somewhere else). Probably would heavily impact his money making ability in the pros.
Jeff definitely has some skin in the game this year. I’m hopeful he impresses us all.

Where are you getting Maryland didn't want him at QB? I don't think that is true. And I don't recall that FSU was pushing a position change, either, though it's true Norvell wasn't as high on him.

In most P5 programs, this is the year that Sims would normally just be taking over the starting job. The offensive transition at Tech created a situation where he was forced into being the starter earlier in his development than would be ideal. Hopefully, the early playing experience will be beneficial, but it seems like I've heard coaches say that there can be some negative aspects to rushing a young QB into service. From what we've heard from Weinke and Long, that doesn't seem to be an issue for Sims.

That is 100% incorrect.
LOL, and we don't
Maybe for Maryland, but that's why he flipped on FSU at the end to us. They said he wouldn't come in and play QB...maybe after 1-2 yrs but not immediately
We were the only on the list to say he was going to be a Day 1 starter. That's why, he wasn't guaranteed the QB1 at FSUDude you're confusing him with Justin Thomas. Sims was always an elite QB prospect and flipped from FSU.
