Does anyone think Simms has a decent chance to win the third sting backup position tomorrow night? I do.

 

Well, I don't think he actually has to WIN it, as in outperform Cassel. But he could convince the brain to release/trade Cassel, with a solid outing. I'm guessing either way, he goes to the PS. But who knows?

As practice squad guy, yes. Surprisingly he still has eligibility.

Naw, I'm saying WIN it. As in, tomorrow night, he shows the FO, and coaching staff that his upside (and I suppose that includes cost) outweighs Cassel's upside.

 

Simms' upside:

  • Good arm.
  • Reasonably accurate.
  • Reasonably mobile.
  • Possible high ceiling(ish?)
  • Famous father.
  • Dirt cheap.

Cassel's upside:

  • Veteran presence.
  • Consistent (-ly mediocre).
  • Game manager.
  • A couple good seasons under his belt.
  • Reliably won't f*** up too bad.
  • Probably won't slip on a rubber mat.

Simms' downside:

  • Still hasn't reached puberty.
  • Untested against all but the scrubbiest of scrubs.
  • Despite completing 5/5 for 65 yards and a TD in week three, all the pundits say he sucks.

Cassel's downside:

  • Uninspiring.
  • Pretty goddamned easy to game plan against.
  • Makes Kyle Orton look like a ballerina.

And one more thing: Simms is Rex's guy, and Rex likes him. And, Rex hates to be wrong. It could happen.
