Lubeck Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Chris Simms will probably be available soon. He is clearly an upgrade over any other backup QB we have on the roster now. The only things that would bother me are his fathers history with the franchise and his desire to get a chance at being a starter, not a backup. But I do not feel confident going without Eli and relying on one of the backups, but would feel pretty good about Simms. He has at least won in the league and taken a team to the playoffs.

Chris Simms said he will never play for the Giants. In fact him and Phil called the Giants and begged them not to draft him. :brooding: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephiroth Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Considering his old man's history with the team it's probably a really bad idea. I wish him all the success in the world though. He might be a decent QB if he played for someone other than Gruden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 David Carr is about a thousand times better than Chris Simms. It's too bad he never had an oline in front of him, or you'd probably realize this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'm betting he'll land in Chicago with the Bears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jranieli Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'm betting he'll land in Chicago with the Bears. speaking of the Bears, they just named Orton their opening day starter. I still cannot believe the Bears have done nothing to upgrade the QB position in the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeMesiS Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 What did the Giants do to Simms? Nothing really... it's just he doesn't want to add to the pressure of being a QB in NYC. Especially when your father is a lengend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgutmartyr Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 speaking of the Bears, they just named Orton their opening day starter. I still cannot believe the Bears have done nothing to upgrade the QB position in the last few years. I could understand giving Grossman last year to straighten up, but this offseason? I would be bidding on any and all QBs that shook loose. I prefer my QBs to have spleens. That's cold. Funny, but cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYG Hampton 27 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I'm betting he'll land in Chicago with the Bears. I think Chicago would be a great place for him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
