Why Not Play Graham And Sims?

[GoldenIsle]

And go with the one that gets us in the end zone. Graham is in his 3rd year of college football so I don’t think he makes the mistakes of a true freshman. But I do think Sims has the athleticism to be a star in the future so I think he needs to get some reps. I believe using both is the best way for us to get some W’s this year.

Ok

You're right. I am sure Collins hasn't thought of that after seeing them practice all week every week

I guess he saw all those missed field goals and 4 interceptions in practice too.

Doesn't that probably mean the other guys couldn't do better? What have you seen to make you think they're better? Do you know something Collins doesn't or do you just know football better than him?

Honest question...is Graham still listed as QB or on active roster?

 

[BuzzFeitenSystem]

Sims must be lighting up our practice secondary with ample time to throw

graham had 7 ints in 9 games last year

sims with 4 ints in 3 games

Well, we got the “why not Yates” question answered earlier, so sure. Let’s move on to Graham.

I'd much rather ride with Sims myself

You don't know if someone is better until you play them. I'm sure you have never seen a backup QB at GT or anywhere else play better than the starter.

Graham dropped off the Above The Line chart this week. He might be gone.

Ton of turnovers in really basic situations where we can put points on the board. I’m really frustrated with the kicking. But bottom line is true freshman tend to make true freshman mistakes.

Geoff Collins is a tool

This. I think there is very little chance we see James Graham in Tech uniform again.

2 or 3 were on batted passes. That could be mechanics, not moving to change throwing angle, bad blocking, or just bad luck.
His picks at FSU were just bad passes. Getting a pass batted and picked at the line just seems like awful luck.
We have a lot of work to do, but physically, Sims is our best option.

Am I missing something? He had 4 ints in this game alone, right? 8 total in the three games this season.

You right. 8 not 4

What is the fascination with Graham?

People have seen his name on StingTalk more than on the field. It is that simple.

Changing quarterbacks would be a very poor decision I think, but playing two would be disastrous both on the field and off. It seems like our flaws are so glaring, and I don't understand why people are putting so much heat on Sims for it.
