Simms to IR, out for season...

Damn I was thinking maybe trade him to ARZ for a RB.


Former starting quarterback Chris Simms, who led Tampa Bay to a division title in 2005 but hasn't played in a regular-season game since undergoing surgery to remove his spleen more than a year ago, will be placed on injured reserve, ending his 2007 season and perhaps his tenure with the Buccaneers as well.

General manager Bruce Allen said Tuesday that the Bucs informed Simms of the move on Tuesday and will formalize it on Wednesday, when they are expected to sign a tailback to address their injury woes at that position.

I really thought he could be a good starting QB when the Bucs drafted him, but now it looks like best case scenario he's Brian Griese. A guy who will give you some good starts, but will never become a full-time starter because of the inability to stay healthy.
