[QUOTE="wreckrod, post: 827822, member: 1935"] I think Yates is a much better decision maker than Sims and it's not close. Obviously Sims has more physical tools at his disposal. I went back and watched the UNC game again, and Yates would've moved the ball effectively in the second half with the adjustments we made at halftime. Would he have done the same as Sims? We'll never know. The play calling in the first half was hot garbage, and Yates consistently made the right reads and put the ball in the right places, but was also the victim of horribly bad blocking and the coaches sometimes being very slow getting plays in. In second half Sims made several bad reads but our RBs just ran hard and got yardage anyway. We could've started the game with Sims and brought Yates in the second half and everyone would be singing Yates' praises. The first short field TD - we started running the inverted read option (RB going laterally, QB goes upfield on the pull) and that's why the TD was an easy walk in. Yates' would've had the exact same thing. We also adjusted blocking, but Sims threw several bad balls just directly into covered WRs. That pass over the middle into double coverage (should've be targeting or at the least PI) was atrocious. An NFL WR would get up and cuss out his rookie QB for throwing him into a train wreck like that. Even the long pass that was caught was at best a 50/50 ball where the WR had to go up and take it away from the DB. There's 11 guys out there and a lot of the problems in the first half didn't have to do with Yates, and there were a lot less problems in the second half and some of them had to do with Sims. I hope Sims starts the Pitt game and lights it up all game long, he's a tremendous athlete. But if not we have a slightly less mobile QB with an accurate arm and who is a great decision maker and isn't loose with the ball. [/QUOTE]
