I am completely dumbfounded???? :sign0153:
I saw that article before you posted it, it was a tad hard to understand, indeed! Here's one that shows how he did in college and so on. IMO, doesn't look too bad, just a bit of bad luck hurt him.

so a multi-task player eh? he'll be passin and kickin FGS? thats a injury waiting to happen.. :wheelchair:
I have to assume he's the new 3rd string QB. I'm guessing that tomorrow we'll be hearing Croyle's lost for the rest of the season. Why else would they sign this guy?
I mean seriously? A fifth round pick who is from Furman? I follow college ball, but where in the hell is Furman? Never heard of them.
I don't get it. This one's a real head scratcher.
We need as many bodies as we can get to play QB. One game...one starter gone for the season. (Excluding Brady.)
Seems like par for the Hermie course.
Apparently, Simms was in KC today visiting with the Chiefs. The Titans called Simms when he was in KC and offered him a contract contingent on him passing a physical. Simms agreed and boarded a plane for Nashville. The Chiefs were obviously not happy about this, so they turned around and signed a QB right off of the Titans practice squad that they could no longer protect. It sounds like this was more of a political move rather than a solution to our QB problems. I hope I'm wrong, but that is how it was reported by Adam Schefter on NFL Radio around 7:30 EST on NFL Radio.
Ingle who???

LETS NOT BURN HIM ON THE CROSS YET ! ( Would Brodie have done that ? )
I want to see that happen sunday... well I dont want the raiders to get that close to a TD - but that was a great drive!
He did look good on that drive. But was he playing against the faders 2nd or 3rd string since it was a preseason?
Typical Carl Peterson. Why not offer Simms a contract as soon as he left Boston? Why even give somebody else a chance to sign him in the first place? What a fool.
I have to reserve judgement on Thig until I see him play in a game. In pre-season he seemed mobile enough and seemed to make good decisions. So why not put him in there? Home opener against a ragged fader defense would be a good place to start! Lets see what he can do!
ugh... this thread just got so damn cheesy
I think this is EXACTLY why the Chiefs didn't sign him. What happens if Simms came in and started winning? What do you do when Croyle comes back? The fans want to win, but at the same time, you need to develop a young QB. But, you can't pull a guy who wins for a guy who's injury prone or the fans will go crazy.
So, what do you do? Bring in someone less talented so the fans are aching for Croyle to come back. Then, when he does, the organization can evaluate him on a level playing field for the rest of the season and decide whether he's THE GUY going forward.
IMO, Croyle has been passed over already. 3 injuries in 7 games isn't a guy you want to build around. He's going to have to play lights out from here on to keep the starting spot.
You can say what you want about "Herm's" offense and his bad luck with QB, but Croyle's injury wasn't his fault. When the defense brings more guys than you have blockers, that kind of thing is going to happen. It's called a blitz for those who think it was the O-line's fault. Maybe Charles picked up the wrong guy, but if you go back and look at the play, every lineman had a guy and Charles picked up the closest threat.
My question is, during Brett Favre's 276 consecutive game steak, do y'all think he ALWAYS had a great O-line? In 16 or so seasons, do y'all think he's never been hit as hard as Croyle was? The fact is, some guys get hurt. Some guys are fragile like Pennington, or don't slide soon enough then get the sh@# knocked out of them by a late hit, some are too old to get out of the way, and some just get drilled by a blitz that wasn't picked up.
To lay ALL of these injuries at the feet of a head coach is just ridiculous. This is a collision sport. I don't hear people calling for Andy Reed's head because McNabb can't stay healthy. Same thing with Carolina, Tennessee, Tampa, Buffalo, Washington, St. Louis, etc.
Yeah, it looks bad that Herm's QB's can't stay healthy, but go back over each of those injuries and show me how Herm had an influence on every single injury.

Type of game plan. He doesn't seem to want to attack! Its run first, then pass. If he would open up the offense and attack the opposite teams defense early in the game, then go run. His Conservative style of play, means we will always be playing under pressure.
