Denver Broncos release QB Chris Simms

The Denver Broncos released QB Chris Simms today, one day after acquiring QB Brady Quinn in a trade with the Cleveland Browns. Simms struggled in his opportunity to run the Broncos offense last season - in the 2nd half of a 27-17 loss to the Washington Redskins, and a 1st Quarter meltdown against the San Diego Chargers at home.
This is hardly a surprise. The Broncos are allowing Simms to become available as early as possible so that he might find another team. Chris Simms is truly one of the good guys, but you have to wonder if he'll ever get back to the form he had as the starting quarterback in Tampa.

Feel bad for him
he was a good guy, but the writing was on the wall. I never bought McD when he said Simms has a future with the team. He showed he doesn’t have it anymore. Too bad. Good luck to him in the future.
I never buy when McD says someone has a future with the team.
They have a future until….well they don’t

It's a rough business
but the lack of a quality backup QB last year probably cost the team a playoff berth. I think Simms just needs more time to regain his skills.
I agree.
Orton was playing his butt off when he went down against Washington. We should have won that game, and I like to think we would have with Orton in the whole game. And, I think we would have had a much better shot at beating SD a second time had Simms (and the D) not allowed us to get so far in the hole. Optimistically, We could have been 10-6 had Simms been able to play the backup role well.

The Broncos should have

Simms will finally have a positive impact on the Broncos the further he travels from the Denver Metro area.

Of course he needed to go
but I was still upset when the crowd booed him on Thanksgiving when he wished Bronco fans a Happy Thanksgiving on the jumbo-tron, I wish we had a fanbase with more tact than that it’s just cruel and stupid.
That said I like our current position better and wish him the best
Indeed
The Broncos upgraded the QB spot this weekend.

Not a shocker but I like him as a person. I hope he manages to pick up the pieces somewhere else.

Is that his fault that you wasted 300 bucks or yours?
sounds like you’re shifting blame to someone that had literally no impact on the fact that you paid a hefty premium on tickets.
Comparing Michael Lombardi to Bill Williamson is like comparing an In-N-Out Cheeseburger to a sh## sandwich.
Williamson would probably eat both – no questions asked.
Whatever man
There were a lot of disappointed fans at Mile High that day. By your logic every time the Broncos lose the fans should blame themselves instead of the players that the tickets directly pay their salary.
Simms might be a good guy, but he didn’t get me any value that day I spent my hard earned money on that piss poor showing.
Well, you can blame the defense too...
they are the ones that gave up 30+ points. Oh yeah, blame San Diego too for showing up.

Let me get this straight
You’re blaming Simms for the SD loss, when he only played 3 series and the score was a manageable 13-0 when he was replaced?
I’m not following the logic.
We live in an age when instant gratification isn't fast enough
You're right that he wasn't the only factor in the loss
He was the major factor in the loss at Washington. Do you remember after that crap performance he was just laughing it up on the sidelines in the 4th quarter?
I’m just trying to figure out why does Chris Simms have all this love from everyone?
You should have seen
the gameday threads when he was playing….far worse was said.

That's why I avoided gameday threads last year.
:)
We live in an age when instant gratification isn't fast enough
I'm actually rather indifferent towards him
I just don’t think he deserves to get dumped on. And since he’s now no longer a Bronco, I don’t think he’s worth much attention at all.
We live in an age when instant gratification isn't fast enough
Amen
Now that Simms is no longer upon us, (I applaud his courage in trying to play but the point is he CANNOT play, hence my satisfaction that he’s no longer here) I’ll pay about as much attention to him as I would the Rachel Ray show or making arts and crafts which is none at all.

by T.Dot_Bronco on Mar 15, 2010 1:58 PM MDT up reply actions
No, they can have those things...
… they just need to have only pre-2009 materials.
In Tampa, Simms actually looked like he was coming along as a decent, but not great, NFL starter. Then he had his horrible injury, lost a year, and never really recovered his timing, etc.
but I’m not surprised at all that he was brought in by Denver at the time… he was brought in as a backup to Jay Cutler… given the tape of him pre-2009, and even with an expected regression from the injury, that seemed like a decent bet.
you’re always so cranky Bob… try smiling once in awhile. It makes life much easier to get through.
Yeah, that's what stick out to me...
all those people begging for Simms to start over Orton. Hindsight…. wow.

C'mon Gang,
Let’s show a little class. As Emmett mentioned above, Simms is a guy who suffered a life-threatening injury, sat for the better part of 2 years, then attempted a comeback.
The fact that he didn’t make, means only that, he wasn’t able to make a successful comeback. Not a reason he should be vilified.

Emmett’s comment was in another post. The rest of if still holds true.

I Agree
We need to restore class to being a fan of the Denver Broncos. There were many times last year that I wanted to call our young coach many names, but reason prevailed and I am usually an adult. Let’s not kick a former Bronco, especially when he is down.
On the other hand, if Phil Simms decides to be a super-critical announcer next year, then I will be the first to rip him apart.

I agree and I always try to be a Broncos fan with class. Nevertheless, I’m so glad Chris Simms is gone. In terms of playing on the football field, he’s about as close to worthless as you can get. I figured as much after his spleen injury. Major Applewhite was always the better quarterback at Texas as well.

Actually, Simms worked his tail off
He just didn’t have the physical stamina or skills to play pro football anymore. I would thing that would be a very tough thing to come to terms with. He did the best he could, given what he underwent, imo.

It's not love
it’s respect, guy. He wasn’t a great pro QB. He is what he is. But he still worked hard to pick the system up — he and Orton were constantly huddled and quizzing each other. I’ll respect the contribution, however small, thank you.

fair point about the physical stamina though
Guess I was reflecting on the rehabilitation from his injury and how it seemed to affect his game, both mentally and physically. When you’re out of the game that long, i can’t imagine it’s easy to get back in, especially if you weren’t much of a playmaker to begin with.

Best wishes to Chris, he's been a class act his entire time in Denver.
As for all of you that are making jokes at his expense, you should wish you had the courage to get back up after a life threatening situation and get as far as he did. It’s one thing to be excited about the future, but it’s quite another to be spiteful to Simms. Regardless of how he did or didn’t perform last year, he was a part of the Broncos family for a year. He should be treated with as much respect as he showed the city of Denver and Broncos fans everywhere.

Terrible return on investment
I didnt mind the actual move itself but the price paid was yet another example of how the regime moved too quick in last years offseason. 3 million to be the backup? Thats a bad case of bidding against yourself for someone’s services.

Whether or not you choose to care what he thinks is up to you. No, I don’t mute the games when he is announcing, but I do take the opinions of all pundits (not only Simms) with a grain of salt and a discerning ear.

Never been a Simms fan
But I respect his toughness and strength trying to come back after such a major injury. I wish him well in his future efforts.
Finally
I honestly cant remember a worse performing backup in decades. Though he played less than 4 quarters in regular games this year, he was terrible in those performances. Brandenstater would have been better as the #2 QB, but I suppose the Coaching Staff had to play Simms to justify the investment. Partially thats a true statement, but he never was intended to be a Starter when the team picked him up. When I heard about the news of Quinn, my first thought was “Good, we get rid of Simms”, and thats a true statement too.
