Key post game press conference

I don’t love players refusing to play, but if they do you have to assume they are leaving. Don’t love it, but I understand. There’s no upside to playing at that point.

Agree that he should just be kicked off the team at that point - assuming you can demonstrate there is no legitimate reason for him to decline (ie an a jury).

If this is true, Sims should not be allowed access to any training facilities or staff and not permitted to attend practices or games. He can rehab his hangnail at any of the Atlanta area spas and we don’t need to waste another minute of our resources on him.

This one I agree with. If this is true, and watching Key's reactions to the questions it certainly seems like it is, I agree. He should be off the team today. Which is basically just a formality as he essentially took himself off the team yesterday.

As I said in the other thread, I don't know how you can look your teammates and coaches in the eye after doing something like this.

The "medically cleared" part seems true based on him being dressed for the game and Key's answers to the presser questions.
 
Key said he refused to go in. Key wouldn’t have asked if he weren’t medically cleared.

I suspect he is staying on the team because of NIL deals that he has. Those deals can’t be performance related but they can be contingent on him being on the team

I bet that but the other part is questionable.

If he just refused to play he should never be allowed in the athletic area again. I was right behind him in the second row and didn’t see coaches approach him after Pyron got hurt. But it would be easy to miss.
 
I sat in section 103 with my two sons. We noticed Sims A LOT during the game. He had zero limp and huge smile most of the game. What was insane as a former coach to see this former starter upperclassman be such a HUGE distraction!!! He was cutting up and have a good time bouncing from groups of players. He was socializing more than watching the game with a doubt. I would notice key parts of the game where the offensive unit and team huddled together talking and he is about 30 yards away with a group of redshirt freshman’s in sweat pants. He had no desire or interest what was going on. The clown recruited this prize recruit which sums up his era perfectly. We need to remove this cancerous tumor from our team and anyone remotely like this. Against UVA when things got tough for him, he made a horrible interception in end zone and got yanked i was watching him and i said he is done at Tech. For some reason with him and Gibbs you just instantly know they don’t wanna be here anymore. No shame in that but to sit there and be a distraction to your team who is fighting hard and just quit to me that is the ultimate shame

The offense sits directly in front of 107. QBs are right in front of my seats. I don’t see how you could see him all that well from 103.

Why would any company continue to pay NIL money to player whose image with his teammates and fans isn’t very good now?

He didn’t say Sims refused to go in. He said he was unable to go in, and “I’ll leave it at that.”
