[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 794571, member: 4334"] No. I’m talking about having him run when the pass isn’t there. I’m not talking designed runs for him. Designed runs for QB’s really don’t work that often outside of the obvious “sneak” scenarios. Sure, you can catch a defense napping with a QB draw from time to time but the LB’s we play against most weeks have the speed to snuff that stuff out. I’m talking about when the pass play breaks down Sims has the natural ability to make “something out of nothing”. He did it multiple times against FSU when he picked up critical 1st downs and kept drives alive. That element of his skillset went away as the year progressed. I’m sure it was because he was getting his bell rung just about every play due to the offensive line being a sieve. I also saw many times he either threw it away or stepped out short of the first down marker. In other words he is being coached like a pocket passer and not a dual threat QB. That works at Bama and UGA when the QB’s are the tops in the nation and is surrounded by 5* and 4* players. At GT the years we are dynamic is when we have a QB who can do it with his arm and legs.
