Foreshadowing? So who thinks Simms will be on the active roster of the Bucs or even make it through training camp?

Simms IIRC, was the last pick in the 3rd round after the Bucs won the SB...this was never supposed to be the 2nd coming, but fans were optimistic he would become a future star under Gruden. That has not happened and i don't think the Bucs are worse off for taking him at the moment, but it's time to say good bye and allow him to further his career with another team.

 
They put the posters up the year he was headed in as a starter, and they don't change them too often. Simms & Clayton posters should have been gone 2 years ago. There aren't really may stand out players on the Bucs, so they were bound to regret a few of their Fat Head XL purchases.

 
Over the past few years, the Bucs have not had the marketable players they had in the 90's such as Sapp, Lynch, and Alstott. Simms was a reach, but was a big name and the starting QB. But with new names such as Ruud, Piscatelli, Graham, and Talib in the fold...and possibly Favre...they can move to better options now.

All the more reason not to tip your hand by prematurely ordering your marketing department to tear down a huge banner. Dumb move. Why couldn't that have waited for a day or two?

This could have nothing to do with Favre. Simms would be replaced by Piscatelli, Talib, or Graham anyway...who are not currently up.

Even if it has nothing to do with Favre, why is it a good idea to engage in iconoclasm before you actually announce your roster move?

Because there are several better options from a markeing standpoint than Simms.

And this was a critical day or two in which they simply had to remove Simms' poster? BTW, if there were "better options", who'd they replace the Simms poster with?

Better options would include but not be limited to Josh Johnson, Earnest Graham, Warrick Dunn, Michael Bennett, Ben Troupe, Marice Stovall, Dexter Jackson, Arron Sears, Jeremy Trueblood, Cato June, Jovan Haye, Aqib Talib, Tenard Jackson, Will Allen, Jermaine Phillips, Sabby Piscatelli, Matt Bryant, or Josh Bidwell.

And the Queen of England. Don't forget the Queen. I didn't ask who you thought was better, I asked who they replaced the poster with.

Any of my options would be more marketable for the Bucs.

I think Andy Herron stole it and erected it in his bedroom.

Funny.However, I'm not really a fan. I just know there is mutual interest between the Cowboys and Chris Simms and see him landing here eventually.
 
The Glazers were simply too cheap to take it down previously. They can't really head into the season with it up. Probably doesn't mean anything except he's not long for the team, which everyone already knew. It's not like he was competing for the starter's job.

I like Piscatelli, but he hasn't even started a game yet.

I agree...but he is one of the top jersey sellers already. Not sure who it's going to be, if it's done...I'm guessing Graham.

Yeah, probably Graham/ Dunn/ or Rudd (if he's not already up there).Didn't realize Sabby was that high on jersey sales. Just out of curiosity where do you see jersey # sales, I would be curious to see all Bucs players.

Never put these three things in the same sentence. 4inch nightmares for any and all who read that.

Bad Tater!

I think Ruud is already up there? Not 100% sure... I'm in the industry...actually talked to the Reebok rep yesterday about all of this. He said, keeping in mind jersey sales are slow overall, that Garcia, Rudd, Graham, Talib, and Piscatelli were selling well so far (it's early...so this is mostly based on what was sold to the retailers, not what has sold at retail).
