No different than disability pay. When the doc says you are ready, the disability pay stops. How you feel is irrelevant. Get back on that roof and get to work.

I'm sure Sims had a reason for making the decision he did. I support his decision and also Key's decision to ensure that Sims focuses 100% on rehabilitation and getting his foot better. Standing on the sidelines the whole game surely wasn't good for his foot.

In other words, Jeff Sims can’t be relied upon to play on a weekly basis unless he feels like playing. I didn’t feel like coming to work today but here I am.

It’s a fine line, especially behind our OL. If you’re “medically cleared” (whatever that means), maybe you can play without risk of further injury but maybe you aren’t able to perform at a high enough level to be effective, especially if your game is predicated on being able to scramble, cut, push off, etc.

Seems to me that maybe there was a misunderstanding or miscommunication about what “emergency” meant. Maybe he wasn’t warmed up (I only saw him take like 1 rep during warmups) and didn’t have his head in the game, which isn’t great, but if you think you’re QB3, it’s not too surprising. I’d rather have seen him involved in signaling plays and coaching up the backups in the sideline, but discipline is not a hallmark of this team.

From a SI article today... “Without Sims or Zach Pyron, who is out for the season, it will likely be Zach Gibson as the starting quarterback going forward. Gibson has struggled in the games he has played. The other options at quarterback are Clemson transfer Taisun Phommachanh or walk-on Brody Rhodes.” So why not play Taisun or this Brody fella over Gibson?

Presumably they are worse.
 
Brent Key may not be our next HC, but if he thinks Sims should be playing, then he should be playing.
 
I don't think Key is going to be our next head coach nor should he be. Neverthetess. I've gained respect for how he has handled things as interim coach and my opinion of him has grown substantially. He danced on Sims and how enlightening to hear him talk about next weeks game as opposed to the clown we had before. What was wrong with Stansbury that he fell for that bs nonsense being spouted by CGC?
 
Key is a potential future head coach for GT. It’s just not right now. GT and he need to distance themselves from the previous guy then Key can come home without that baggage. I can see a future feel good story for GT. It’s just not right now.
