With Bryce Petty arriving in the fourth round of the draft, it looks like Matt Simms is going to have to excel in the offseason and training camp in order to remain on the Jets depth chart at quarterback.
Such is the life of third quarterbacks in the NFL, although one member of Simms’ family thinks that the only reason Matt’s in that position is because of his last name. Chris Simms, who played eight years as an NFL quarterback, is willing to concede that his younger brother “hasn’t proven himself” as a starter, but says that Matt has played well in preseason and mop-up duty that hasn’t led to more work because of Phil Simms’ prominent position with CBS.
