re: CBS "experts" predictions for the season

sims was a senior last year, now Bama will likely start a true freshman. They are not in the same situation as last year.

yes, Sims was a senior, but he never played a meaningful snap at QB before last year, so he had essentially no experience. And he was under a brand new OC, so you can't use the "he was in the system for 4 years" line.

If you think Sims' age was the reason he succeeded last year, go with that. I'll credit coaching, in addition, of course, to Sims' talent.
