Could've still been the starting qb but apparently we HAD to bring in Sims

Casey was a wimp for not even trying to compete. If you can't earn being The Man then you don't deserve to be The Man.
CT had a dynamic receiver to throw to also.
Casey Thompson would’ve been knocked outta the game if he got hit as much as Sims. Casey Thompson left like a pussy. Go cheer him on if you’re a sourpuss ass sore loser.
I can't imagine that Casey would have lost that QB battle. Casey is a much better throwing QB than what we saw today.
Sims legs kept us in the game. His arm and telegraphing passes............didn't.
I liked CT, but no.
Sims's legs are what had us in the game in the first place, and I dont think CT would have been as dynamic in that facet. It seemed like our WR couldn't get any separation, so I'm not sure CT would have fared much better in the passing game. I don't think he would have thrown as many INTs though, to be fair.
I just can't imagine that. Sims looked as bad throwing the ball as McCaffrey.
Exactly. This is easily the least talented, receiving corps in the big 10.
We def became a less effective passing team with Sims at QB.
I wasn't a big CT fan either, but he was much more accurate and could sling it and make the big play work.
With Sims, you lose all of that and gain a little bit of running. Not a wise trade off..
one dimensional team, who still can't run that well.

Only because we refused to keep running the ball with Irvin. Irvin can run it better than Sims
That’s the dilemma facing Rhule now: running ability good enough to keep the team in most games but passing is bad enough to give any game away.
Pretty easy to see that opposing DCs will game plan and go all out to stuff the run to force Sims to throw the ball.
For the life of me, I don’t understand why Gabe Earvin did not get more rushes.
Rhule prefers running backs who fumble and qb who can’t throw
Yep...too bad they were to the other team.
Yeah we would've won easily if he was here
And that one TD came on a trick play where he got lucky to even recover his own fumble on the backward pass. Those INTs were not good. No vision, not decision-making. The DBs knew exactly where he was going.
Casey was pretty accurate considering how bad the OL was last year. Palmer isn't here but there were open receivers many times that Sims never saw. On that corner INT a TE was standing alone in the end zone. It was one of the worst throws I've ever seen in that situation. Throw it away and take the 3. Some of that was on Rhule I guess, but a seasoned QB should have zero difficulty in that situation.
He completely looked down his target in a 15 yard space to the left, didn't even bother checking to his right. A high school safety would of intercepted that.
Casey provided zero running threat, and Simms is an NFL guy. No brainer.
