LouisvilleSlugger25 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 youre believing Rex? Rex has no idea how evaluate talent. That was glaringly obvious after his tenure. Youre talking about a dude that put you through Sanchez and Geno and youre all like he's right? Good one. Rex took this team to 2 afc championship games something no other Jets coach has ever done. Let's not act like you know more about football than he does. Also Rex stuck with Sanchez and Geno because the GM failed to bring in competent backups. Either way, the new GM/Coach clearly agree with Rex's evaluation of Simms...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenorGato Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 This guy Bowles doesn't get it, this is a great indicator. So you're going to tell me that Simms isnt better than Geno?!? Is that what the Jets are saying? They'll never learn. Has he seen the game tape? I seened it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyLV Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Do we usually keep a practice squad QB or not necessarily? Just wondering if Heaps somehow sticks around. Either Heaps beat him out or they're being nice to give him a chance somewhere else. Kind of interesting that Heaps has made it through 2 hurdles so far. He was signed as a tryout and now Simms is released ahead of him which implies they at least see something in Heaps. Wouldn't that be a headline: "UDFA to get nod at QB for Jets". Hey, it has happened before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, it has happened before. I don't know if it has anything to do with Heaps (other than he is PS eligible). I would imagine this was the plan from the start. Petty was getting the #3; since they moved up (1 spot) to draft him it is clear that the Jets have faith in him and that they perceived interest. He would also have to be released to be added to the practice squad, and surely someone would snap him up as a #3. That leaves Simms as only training camp fodder; and why not go with your own guy who, if you like him, can go on your practice squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Nice of them to do it now so he can find a team. I don't think Pro Players can go back to play college again, but him "on another team" is a kind thought. Kind of interesting that Heaps has made it through 2 hurdles so far. He was signed as a tryout and now Simms is released ahead of him which implies they at least see something in Heaps. Wouldn't that be a headline: "UDFA to get nod at QB for Jets". Hey, it has happened before. Please stop. He's not getting any "nods". He's a #4 Camp QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBallhawk Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Simms, looking for a better opportunity, reluctantly asked the Jets to cut him loose, affording him the chance to look for another team before next month's minicamps. There could be some teams already interested, perhaps in the AFC East. First, he’s subject to waivers. http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york-jets/post/_/id/51562/new-york-jets-release-backup-qb-matt-simms Too bad. Would have enjoyed another crazy conspiracy theory from his brother. The Simms legacy lives on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuscanyTile2 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 When Rex was asked last year about benching an inept Geno for Simms he literally chuckled. If that didn't tell Jet fans all they needed to know about Matt Simms abilities this move just did. Simms greatest attribute was having the last name of a former solid NFL QB. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/rex-ryan-hope-vernon-gholston-sub-par-start-no-6-pick-new-york-jets-article-1.451013 Rex on Vernon Gholston: "He's going to be an excellent player, I really think that," Ryan said.
