[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 748063, member: 2299"] Wait in what world has Sims had more time to learn the playbook? In any way, last year even with Graham, the staff obviously didn't trust him to throw throw the ball. Sims has thrown the ball 28, 34, and 36 times. Graham threw the ball 28 or more times just once last year. 4 out of our last 6 games last year we passed for less than 100 yards. He completed less than 10 passes in 5 of the last 6 games. It wasn't like some lightbulb flipped on. He had a good game against UVA and a nice game against NCSU, but in between was the VT game and the 134 yards TOTAL the offense put up. He showed just enough to believe that if he improved he could be a good QB for us. But considering he was the returning starter, and supposedly "won" QB4 there is no reason to think he did improve like he needed to. You bring up 6 INTs. Tell me how many times in his first 3 games Graham led us to 400+ yards of offense? In fact, go ahead and tell me how many times all year we did that? In his first real game with significant opportunities Graham went 10-24 for 100 yards passing, -2 yards rushing, and the offense got shut out (for the first of two times last year). Simply put, moving the ball and turning it over is better than not being able to move the ball at all and last year was a 3 and out fest. And the reality is that Sims, even with his turnover issues, almost certainly moves the ball best for us. We don't need a game manager. We don't have an OL that will allow us just to run the ball 80% of the time and win. We need someone who can make plays to help us move the ball, and I'm not talking about hitting one deep ball a game. [/QUOTE]
