[QUOTE="GT33, post: 904573, member: 5550"] I'm not implying the OL play has been good because it's obviously not, but not 100% of the OL play is all on the OL. There's knowing when to throw the ball away, management of the huddle, audibles, etc. Yes, the inept sideline in years 1 & 2 did not help not did the lack of a competent QB coach. He's got both now as it appears. Without going into a lot of breaking down tape, it's hard to tell but a sharp improvement curve needs to start in the Virginia game for him or I think we'll have his answer. He's no longer has negative distractions and I'm sure he's now getting the guidance he deparately needs. His PFF rating is based on his personal performance as I understand it. If he holds the ball too long and gets sacked, throws into triple coverage, makes a bad read at LOS, throws the ball behind the receiver he gets dinged. If the receiver drops a well thrown pass, he throws the ball away and avoids a sack, he makes a good read, the receiver tips a catchable pass that's intercepted, the OL whiffs on a block and gets him sacked or causes a fumble that's on the OL or the WR not Sims. He gets credit for good plays on his part even if the play results in zero yards. I've not seen any stats on how long Sims is holding the ball, but watching him there's a lot of plays where he should have thrown it away or run. Obviously easier said than done, but he's in year 3 of live starts that only a fraction of NCAA QBs get to do and at some point the handwriting is on the wall despite the immense physical capabilities he has.
