Sims really struggled today. Timing was off, ball floated like a wounded duck all day. Hell of a disconnect between him and his receivers. Sluggo and Rockford both had their moments, but neither looks confident, and there seems to be a real split in the team. London is obviously frustrated, and practice ended an hour early. 5 or 6 guys really stepped out in handling the clipboard. That could be the battle to watch.

Your comment about "a real split in the team" is something I was thinking about previously. QB controversies,if not handled well, can lead to chemistry problems on a team as players start to take sides. There could end up being factions for Rocco,Sims,and Watford depending on how the coaches handle the competition.

Rocco is a leader on the field and a great role model off the field for his team mates to look up to. The fall training camp will be one of the most interesting camps in recent memory for UVA. As a UVA fan I am wanting the best man to win the job. Some of you guys are right, this is one to break out the popcorn for and watch this develope.

I think you're right on Rocco. The best QB is not always the one with the strongest arm. The UVA offense will throw mostly very short passes, and Rocco last year did pretty well. Lazor will leave for the NFL asap, and if forced to play someone other than his choice, he may leave for another college job if an NFL job doesn't happen. Watford has said he's a QB and not changing positions. If Sims isn't going to play, things will get ugly.

It may not sit well in the 757 if both Sims and Watford sit. I believe that Rocco will be hard to unseat. Rocco says he WILL NOT give up his status as starter. Sims was quoted as saying that he is tired of the criticism he has heard since he left Oscar Smith and that he is going to prove himself by SHUTTING THEM UP. This is going to be a barn burner.

IWatford is a foregone conclusion,him simply him being at UVA is a burned bridge....Sims had his chance to go to UVA and learn the system, everyone knows he choose poorly...the issue is what happens if Rocco plays well early and Sims starts looking good in practice....you will have guys on the team taking sides, and that is REALLY bad

This will be interesting to say the least. Rocco did well last year and deserves to be the starter going into the season, but alliances are made or broken by what takes place before the season starts. London certainly doesn't want to offend the guys at OS or his 757 connections but in a fair fight Rocco will probably win out. The moral to the story is to not make promises that you might not be able to keep.
