[QUOTE="JacketFan137, post: 861848, member: 5973"] i think the sims hate train stemmed from a multitude of reasons and i don’t think he was playing anywhere nearly as poor as some people made it out to be for a good part of the season people were still mad about his first year turnovers, which ultimately were a bit unfair considering he was a freshman who just got forced to start in a whacky year with no kennesaw state/alcorn state/whoever as a tune up game as well as having a bad o line. he made a few bad throws against northern illinois got hurt on a bad handoff and yates came in and made some decent plays. yates then got to play against KSU and stat pad and people were so happy we scored points they got overzealous and were fooled into thinking he was better yates was also the hometown georgia kid, a recruit from the previous regime (who was actually successful), and yates is a much more vocal player when he’s celebrating. suddenly yates is seen as this fiery leader with a better grasp of the offense and all these other narrative things that weren’t exactly true. i am a part of a pretty big facebook group and i know there were a significant amount of people saying it was nice to have a QB with heart and the whole time we’re really buying into that paul johnson recruits played harder narrative. it’s also incredibly common in college football the second a team is bad that the backup qb was the guy who should have been playing the whole time. now yates’ issues were almost entirely physical so it was unfortunate for him that i don’t think any amount of coaching could have made him successful here. against clemson and unc back to back he was completely ineffective. sims came in against unc and that was pretty evident. now sims obviously has not overcome some of the mental hurdles. i am willing to chalk that up to patenaude being a terrible OC as well as QB coach. hopefully long and weinke can create a system that will actually use his talent and develop him. the raw skills and ceiling were just way too high to keep rolling yates out there [/QUOTE]
