Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said Blake Sims is a "very natural" leader.

Said he loves Sims' spirit and energy.


Blake Sims threw a bullet over the middle. #Jags QB coach was fired up, gave Sims about three high fives --@Charlie_Potter #SeniorBowl


Don't know anything about this kid excpept that he was the "Hometown Kid" at the Senior Bowl, coached up by coach Frank and Gus. A couple tweets from January had me thinking.. A mid to late round developmental draft pick?
Free Agent

That would be even better. Not sure he makes it there this year with such a weak qb class; automatically pushes his value up
I read Blake Sims worked out as a running back at the combine - not a good sign for somebody invited there as a quarterback.

Hmm.. Wouldn't want that again. Not so soon anyway. I think that kid from Auburn worked out at both qb and db days. I could be wrong. What? Nick Marshall,sumn?

Nick Marshall made it very clear he wants to play cornerback in the NFL. He was surprised to be invited to the combine as a quarterback after playing cornerback at the Senior Bowl. So you can scratch him off the list.
Nah, no list for Marshall. U just made me think of it when u mentioned Simms working out as a RB
A guy i think the team may look at as a backup to Blake long term, is Brandon Bridge from South Alabama he's somewhat similar to Bortles:


Prototype size (6'4 230) Big arm, athletic, inconsistent mechanics which leads to inconsistent accuracy, but i think if given a year to adjust to the speed of the NFL game he could be a good backup.
Watched Blake Sims tape with Alabama. He's a very unreliable thrower. Blake would usually throw the ball up there and let Cooper go for it. Not very enthusiastic about this guy. He was a bad quarterback on an allout good team.

Wouldn't doubt if he's ultimately a RB at the next level

We already have a former quarterback who plays running back. Can we get a pure running back next time?

I don't think he made any suggestions to draft him.

No.

Gerhart was a good qb though, that's why we drafted him.
