Sims will have had a full healthy offseason to learn the new offense and develop chemistry with the rest of the offense. There aren't any preseason games in cfb. Expecting Thompson to develop chemistry with the offense in much less time is a recipe for loding winnable games at Minnesota and Colorado

Thing is, they are both really good QB's if they get coached up right.

I believe Sims is a very accurate passer and he appears to be a strong runner. I would have liked to see him run more in the spring game!

Casey always looked good considering always under pressure, can throw the long ball and run.

I just think overall Casey the better option and def has leadership qualities as well. Part of this is just due to what we've seen from Casey vs what we haven't been able to see yet (real games) with Jeff Sims

I was impressed with Jeff Sims. I just feel Casey Thompson is a really good QB and could be outstanding with a good o-line. We definitely need a good back up and Sims isn't a big drop off. If the o-line is better, we go bowling this year.

Jeff Simms didn't seem like he has good throwing mechanics, and seemed like he rushed his throws. But my guess is we need both.

I believe Casey is the better passer and likely reads defenses faster.

Sims makes too many mistakes and his knack for tossing INTs and putting the ball on the ground will get him on the bench sooner rather than later - question swill he stay if he losses the starting job

I don't like it, but as long as we're going to play around with nonsense alternate uniforms, the boys might as well learn wi win in them.

Because we as fans should let the team wear whatever makes them excited and quit bringing up times 30 plus years ago like the uniforms had anything to do with how the games turned out.

The Redcoats were intimidating as is and didn't change to all Red on skirmish day.

Traditional is much more intimidating. One color uniforms make players look smaller (except for all white.)

Bad choice and ugly. For those old enough to remember, we got Irvin Fryar out of New Jersey because he looked better in our uniforms than the ugly Penn State uniforms. Why change for the sake of change when you have the better all ready in place. Sounds like the management of Cracker Barrel.

Is the 34½-point spread against Akron about right?

Because the poll was still open on the Monday after the game... And I could not see the percentages without voting.

They have the talent, they need to take the step of winning the games they should win in the manner they should win them. Don’t play down to the level of the opponent.

It better be...defense front should be fixed and Akron Defense should allow for deeper passes. At HOME at NIGHT!!! #GBR

I do not believe some of the glaring problems with the run defense have not been fixed, and Akron will exploit them.

The D-line against Cincy wasn't overly impressive, our run game was relatively unproductive, and we had some lucky breaks (even if good play contributed). The next two weeks will be important for closing gaps; I don't think we'll wallop Akron quite by 30+ points. I'm guessing we end up 17
