[QUOTE="jacket_fan, post: 758845, member: 3527"] I fall on the side that play calling matters. And also that he is not necessarily holding the ball too long. When the Dline is whipping your Oline, quick hitting and counter plays can be effective. When the Dline is whipping your Oline, screens and short slants and throws in the flats can be effective. As a high school quarterback with an oline that was not all that great, standing in the pocket for anything longer than an out route was exciting. And painful. I think CDP is doing his best with what he has. Unfortunately, results are the yardstick. That does not mean just statistically, but controlling the offense. That is the really hard part. Technically running a play is not that hard. But when the play does not develop as planned, adapting and either avoiding a loss or making something out of a missed assignment would be signs of improvement. And if you fumble, don't just stand there, get on the ball... Sorry, had to go there. To Sims credit, he stands tall in the pocket, (wish I had been 6' 5") and tries to go through his progressions. But to me he stares down his primary target. I know I got "coached" on not doing that, but as a Freshman, it still seems he continues to do it. And it is really hard not to. So I have empathy for the kid. (Lawrence does a great job with head/eye fakes and was great during the Tech Clemson game). Sims has the tools, just needs to do what CGC keeps preaching, to improve everyday. [/QUOTE]
