ACor58 Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 Say it ain't so. (But the reader does have a point about all the commercials. THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION. From Mike of Dunedin, Fla.: "While I was watching commercials on Sunday afternoon, they kept interrupting with quick clips of a football game. Anyway, do you think Chris Simms has a job with the Bucs next year?'' Mike, now that I see a bank of TVs with every early game on Sundays at NBC, I feel your pain. Jeez Louise, the commercials! Re: Simms, that is the $64,000 question. The Bucs look like they'll give this thing a couple of weeks before deciding whether to put him on injured reserve, which, of course, would end his season. I think some of this has to do with how well Bruce Gradkowski plays this week and next. He looked good to me Sunday in his NFL debut, sure of himself for a kid who's never played before. My guess? Simms will be elsewhere in 2007. Maybe the Raiders. Maybe Buffalo. Maybe Baltimore.
5 Wide Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 I would boo this move. I would boo it loudly. I would also boo Peter King loudly. That is all.
loadofmularkey Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 All he's doing is speculating which NFL teams may be looking for new starting QBs come the offseason. It kills me to say that we STILL don't know about JP for sure, but it's true.

If we did ever end up with Simms, maybe we could come up with our own "Chris Simms Suck-O-Meter" like they had when he was at Texas.
Fan in San Diego Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 Maybe as a backup to replace Kelly Holcomb.
Marv's Neighbor Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 WTF does KING know??? If he can't think of something bad to say about the BILLS he dream's up some kind of whacko trade to "help us out!" The only thing he's ever been right about are the directions to the buffet bar!
IDBillzFan Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 If King had any sense of decency, he'd stop with these stupid prognostications, accept that his mug is now being shown in hi-def, and go see a !@#$ing dentist.
Dan Gross Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 Well I, for one, am pleased to know that there's no chance that Chris Simms will be in a Bills' uniform next year. Thank you Mr. "Can't Predict My Way out of a Paper Bag" King, for making it so...
Chilly Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 King's an idiot, and as a Longhorn, I'd like to say that Simms sucks balls.
ganesh Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 The last time I checked scoreboards, teams that have a completely messed up QB situation: 1. Oakland 2. Tampa Bay Teams with a unsettled QB situation: 1. Arizona 2. Buffalo 3. Cleveland 4. Miami 5. Detroit 6. 49ers 7. Tenneesee Teams with QBs on their last legs: 1. Green Bay 2. Baltimore (May be) 3. Kansas City Chris Simms could go and sign with 12 other teams in the offseason (including TB) if he choses to. Peter King as a Journalist needs to hold his reins back a little. It is ok for a guy on a message board to write his opinions without any research....but for a guy from the national media to write up a few lines (even without prefixing it as a "guess") is pretty pathetic.
East Brady Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 I'm starting to think peter is just pulling our chains to read all the funny email he must get ................oh wait, he's not that SMART!!!!!! let's see hmmmmm baltimore .......ah has mcnair will travel raiders .........Brady Quinn bills .............work in progress simms............SUCKS worse than holcomb and jp combined NEXT

Smith looks pretty damn good. He's a 2nd year player, first year starter who get's it. Arizona's pretty much settled. Leinart get's at least a couple years. Miami is settled as well. It's going to be one of those two, no way they bring in a 3rd name QB. Brad Johnson in Minny is probably more on his last legs than the three you mentioned.
apuszczalowski Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 Not to defend King, but he didn't say weither it was to be the starter or not. There is a good possibility Buffalo could bring him in as a cheap backup, if they let Holcomb or Nall go.
The Avenger Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 Chris Simms is Todd Collins.....no heart 800922[/snapback] Actually, no spleen...
Phlegm Alley Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 Chris Simms is Todd Collins.....no heart 800922[/snapback] I don't know if I would question the guy's heart. I mean, he played a football game, after he ruptured his spleen and was bleeding internally . You can question his decision making and his talent ability. You cannot base his talent on pedigree. With that said, I would prefer JP and Peter King is a chunky man with bad teeth and questionable football efficacy.
Tod Flanders Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 I take it you haven't watched the 49ers. Smith looks pretty damn good. He's a 2nd year player, first year starter who get's it.

ACor58 Posted October 10, 2006 Author Posted October 10, 2006 Smith had a good game against the worst team in the league, where was he against KC? 801011[/snapback] Through 5 games he has thrown for 1071yds, 6 TDS 3 INTs and a rating of 85.2 (on a bad team none the less). He gets it.
OnTheRocks Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 I would boo this move. I would boo it loudly. I would also boo Peter King loudly. That is all. 800835[/snapback] it certainly wouldn't take this move for me to boo PK loudly.
rovey1961 Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 Chris Simms is Todd Collins.....no heart 800922[/snapback] No Chris Simms has no SPLEEN!
