"I said to him [Sims] listen, I'm watching your tape. You play a game, you're like, holy cow a freak show for 85% of the plays, and these 15% of plays it's like you lose your freaking mind. You come here and we're going to calm down those 15% of plays."

I get what the ASU head coach is saying and agree, but I think he's got the 85/15 flipped around

Favorite Sims moment was when he got in for one (1) play against La Tech and fumbled it immediately

The tale of Jeff Sims is the Nebraskan version of a Greek Tragedy without the happy ending.

He seemed like such a great guy, especially after getting benched, that I can't shit on him. But ay yi yi haha. I wish him well down there!

It's like he has the yips or stage fright. I'm sure he looked like an all-american in practice. Then as soon as he walked into the stadium with 10's of thousands of people in the stands, his brain just hit the off switch.

He had to have had the yips or some mental block last year. He was turnover prone at GTech, but last year was a whole other level.

It's like me thinking I can fix Jordan Larson.

Once there was a certain brave poster who started a thread suggesting that we have Sims just stop thinking & running an offense, and let him go play mindless football, backyard style; citing the long history of successful CFB quarterbacks who were unimpressive mentally. That thread was deemed too controversial & deleted by mods, though.

I tend to think Sims can have some moderate level of success at ASU if they just let him go YOLO it up & take some of the bad with the good.

Poor bastards.



I honestly wonder if he has mental problems. Maybe anxiety issues, panic attacks and such.

 

[lee_carvallo_12]

You can

That's the push I needed to give it a go. Thank you, brother.

Poor bastards.



I actually wonder he has mental problems. Maybe anxiety issues, panic attacks and such.

I think it's clear he has performance anxiety issues, at least on the football field.
