Simms and Rattay headed to KC for workout
Monday Update 9/8
September 8, 2008 - Bob Gretz | From the Truman Sports Complex NFL veteran quarterbacks Chris Simms and Tim Rattay should be headed to Kansas City Monday evening and they are expected to workout for the Chiefs sometime on Tuesday. Right now, it appears that QB Brodie Croyle will miss two to four weeks with the shoulder injury he suffered on Sunday in Foxboro against the Patriots. That leaves the Chiefs with no option other than to sign a quarterback to help them. Both Simms and Rattay were rumored to be at the top of the list in New England for the Patriots to step onto their roster for the injured Tom Brady. But Chiefs sources say both quarterbacks left Foxboro without being offered a deal. It sounds like the Patriots must have something else working behind the scenes. The Patriots announced on Monday afternoon that Brady will undergo sugery and is lost for the season. They placed him on the injured reserve list. Simms is 6-4, 220 pounds, 28-year old former third-round draft choice of Tampa Bay in the 2003 NFL Draft out of the University of Texas. He’s not played in a regular season game since the third week of the 2006 season, when he suffered a spleen injury. Ultimately, he underwent a splenectomy and missed the rest of the ‘06 and the whole ‘07 season. He did play in the most recent pre-season for the Bucs, completing 19 of 30 passes for 155 yards, no TDs and one INT. He was sacked five times. Overall with the Bucs, he played in 19 games, starting 15 and completed 59.1 percent of his passes for an average of 6.27 yards per attempt, with 12 TD passes and 17 INTs. That’s a passer rating of 71.2 Rattay is 6-0, 200 pounds, 31 years old and a veteran of nine years in the NFL. He was a seventh-round choice of San Francisco in the 2000 NFL Draft out of Louisiana Tech. He spent six seasons with the Niners, two years in Tampa Bay and part of last season with Arizona. He went to training camp in 2007 with Tennessee. He’s played in 40 games, with 18 starts, completing 60.5 percent of his passes, for an average of 6.8 yards per attempt with 31 TDS and 23 INTs. That’s a career passer rating of 81.9. The Chiefs are not interested in bringing back David Greene, who was with them at the end of last season. |

If he had no testicles he could be related to Herm.

If they sign either, they'll sign Rattay. And it will be pointless, because they'll never let him see the field.
Exactly the opposite of what they SHOULD do. Then again, they should have signed Simms when he was first released, and dumped Huard's ass. |

Chris Simms asked Patrick Bateman if he wanted to hear the specials, and then continued to say them.

God....just sign Simms.....it's like having the choice of three turd sandwiches. Pick the one with the least amount of peanuts and move on.

I know I will hear a million reasons why Simms is a horrible choice, but I kind of like it. I am not there, and have no idea if he has shaken off the rust from missing effectively 2 seasons, but on paper, I still think he looks good.

Here is my concern with Simms, he is left handed. You guys can figure out the rest pretty easy.
