things could really get really interesting really soon

Simms has shown flashes, he has also thrown a good number of INT’s. And he has some cajones. But that also is what made him a free agent. He would stay in there and get blasted constantly which got him severely hurt. Plus, if I am not mistaken. Isn’t he a lefty? That would make the RT cover his blind side. Thus meaning he would be getting an injury settlement rather quickly. Who would want McIntosh covering your blind side, especially at RT? I honestly don’t know much about Rataay. If it’s the same guy, I think he backed up Warner after Lienart got hurt in AZ, If you ask me, I would probably consider brining in Culpepper for a work out atleast. And I don’t know Joey Harrington’s status. But if he is avaliable I like him, he just needs a little work.

sign Simms to a 1 year contract and let him compete with Huard for the starting job this year. What do we have to lose? Croyle says that he hopes to be back in 2-3 weeks, but most seperated shoulder injuries require more time to heal than that. Especially since it is his throwing shoulder. I know there are others out there with similiar resumes, but I think he his one of the younger ones and has the most upside. Imagine if we got lucky and Simms did resurrect his career in Kansas City! Do you really want Culpepper or Harrington messing with our locker room mojo? The nice thing is this isn’t about money or even draft picks. We can sign Simms and see for ouselves what he is about with very little risk to us.

Finally this team makes a free agency move that makes sense! Taking a flyer on Simms is genius. The kid competes hard, has a good arm, and needs development. I don’t necessarily think this is a good coaching squad to develop QBs in general, but Gruden is notoriously taskmasterish. Maybe with some motivation and no expectations he could excel! Sign him! Sign him now!

I was originally one of the biggest detractors of Huard because he’s not the standard of what any QB should be in my opion nor anything near a franchise QB (which this organization desperately needs). But through watching Croyle with hope and aspirations for this team I’ve came to the realization Huard deserves the starting job. Sure, he’s not pretty nor anyone to be proud of but to me he’s shown performance and an ability to move the ball down field which for whatever reason isn’t there w/ Croyle. He’s a valuable assest to have on the team in my opinion as he’s always there when called on unlike other veterans

But I’ll say it again, I think in the locker room and with this youth movement Simms seems like the best candidate for the job and I for one am completely sold on it!

We need a QB who can get out of the pocket, who can work with our offense. It’s sad to see that they have to take out boots, and rolling out because Huard can’t move 5 yards in ten minutes time. I know thigpen is extremely raw but he is honestly the better option for us “a rebuilding team” over Huard. I know Huard gives us the better chance to win. Right now I prefer bringing in someone else, at least until Croyle is ready.
