Lupz27 Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Simms now go get that starting job some time this year, be that guy that just won't quit, has that edge, that IT factor that you just can't see in a scouting report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenseed4 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 The idea that we would keep him on the roster to mentor Geno was retarded. That's what coaches are for and they don't take up a roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor99 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 So, Simms as #2? and is Sanchez suiting up? I can't imagine they're keeping Harrell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbatesman Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I know Simms has impressed, but you've gotta wonder if this was a priority for Idzik from day one. Never take sides with anyone against the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might mean 1 of 2 things, either Sanchez started to throw today, or the Jets are working on a contract with a cut veteran QB like V Young, or Something.

Greenseed4 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Think someone will pick him up as a back up Yeah. The Bucs. McElroy has more intel on him (in his head) than any of our "starting" QBs and most of the coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly with a new O the Jets were very secretive about in TC Edit: Wait a second, as a vet if he is on the Bucs roster opening day, isn't his salary guaranteed?

If Sanchez can't dress, I think they'll go with Smith and Simms, with Kerley as the emergency #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flgreen Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Sources: Jets cut Greg McElroy Updated: August 31, 2013, 2:17 PM ET By Chris Mortensen | ESPN Recommend46 Tweet42 Comments9 Email Print The New York Jets have released Greg McElroy as they move toward their 53-man roster limit, paving the way for Matt Simms to remain as a quarterback behind Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith, according to team and league sources. Final Roster Cuts DeStick with ESPN.com as our 32 team site reporters break down all of the final roster moves heading into the regular season. Blog » McElroy, a seventh-round pick in 2011, had been listed consistently as third on the team's depth chart but Simms took advantage of opportunities afforded him due to injuries that sidelined McElroy in practice and for the final two preseason games. Simms, an undrafted free agent out of Tennessee and the son of former New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms, completed 74.6 percent of his passes in preseason and finished Thursday night's preseason game by completing 33 of 44 passes for 285 yards. He drew praise from head coach Rex Ryan, offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg and quarterback coach David Lee. McElroy missed the last three preseason games because of a sprained left knee. He was hoping to play in the final game, but he aggravated the injury in practice. The Jets still have four quarterbacks on the roster, the fourth being recently-signed Graham Harrell. The former Green Bay Packers backup arrived Wednesday and played only one snap (a kneel down) Thursday night against the Philadelphia Eagles. McElroy was thrust into the Jets' quarterback circus last season, when he came off the bench to pull out a win over the Arizona Cardinals. Two weeks later, McElroy, moved past Tim Tebow on the depth chart, starting for the benched Sanchez. McElroy was sacked 11 times by the San Diego Chargers and suffered a concussion, hiding it from the team for a few days. Information from ESPN.com's Rich Cimini was used in this report.

CobraVerde Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Feel bad for Macelroy but thats the breaks. He got stuck behind a soap opera and a front office who cares about making a splash in the papers instead of actually winning a championship. Hopefully he gets a chance somewhere.

T0mShane Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 It's really the right call. He just can't throw it well enough to earn a roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you combined McElroy's arm with Pennington they still wouldn't have the arm strength needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmaster2 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 The guy has a big mouth and a weak arm for a backup QB great move , Sims look ok , nice strong arm the type we need in the winter time ,Geno has a strong are too but he should not start week 1 , he look terrible in the preseason Sims look better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
