Is Chris Simms Done? (1 Viewer)

[PAFFL Champ]

Chris Simms, a solid commodity this time a year ago, has fallen hard. Now he's No. 3 on the depth chart in Tampa Bay, with coach Jon Gruden trying to coax Jake Plummer out of retirement to potentially push Simms even deeper into irrelevance. Seems like a great buy low opportunity, if this guy actually has anything left. Does he?

Did he ever get started?? I know this is a typical "slap in the face" FBG answer, but Simms has done very little in the near term.

His positives:

** In '05, posted a respectable 10-7 TD/INT ratio, 61% completion % and 81 QB rating playing the "don't mess it up" position in the Bucs offense. His starting record was 6-4.

His negatives:

** Followed his '05 campaign with a major stinker. 1-7 TD/INT ratio, 46 QB rating and 0-3 record.

** Has never averaged more than 200 yards/game in a season.

Simms obviously has the pedigree and measurables to succeed. Unfortunately, I just do not think all the ducks will ever align for him.

Was never any good to begin with.

It's tough to write off a young QB so early, but Gruden definitely likes the veteran QBs.

Neither was Drew Brees his first couple of years in the NFL.

If Gruden continues to be his coach, I think he is done. If he gets another coach, no way.

Nor Akili Smith, Ryan Leaf, Andre Ware, David Klinger, et al.The only value Chris Simms has ever had is in using him as bait to fleece owners who actually bought into the hype.
