Meh. He seems like he wants to be a starter and he might run into a road block with our program if that’s the case. Our offense definitely seems to be trending towards a different style of QB.

But I’m shooting from the hip in my thinking that Simms isn’t a mobile QB.

especially since it didn’t work out for him at Louisville. Very doubtful that he’ll become even the next Anthony Morelli after bombing out at Louisville.

would we want a kid that shys away from competition? NO heart.

DC is a bit injury prone, always good to have top talent at your school.

If Newsome is that good, he will beat out Simms

PSU doesn’t need Louisville’s backups. Apparently the Simms screwed JoePa over with Chris so I doubt Joe would be willing to help that family out.

Chris Simms recruitment was a cluster (much like Henne, Smoker, etc)

Matt Simms doesn’t want to compete for a job and wants it handed to him. How about we go after Nate Montana?

We like kids that need to be developed. Our track record with 5* QBs (i’m refering to QB14 to those new to the site) is not great. MRob, DC, Zack Attack, we can work with moldable clay.

And seriously, Oklahoma…Bob Stoops gets Blue Chip QBs every year…he doesn’t need a Matt Simms. Maybe he should take a longer look at Rutgers or go play for the Stache at Shittsburgh

If he wants to be on the team, he knows he’s going to have to fight for his spot. If he doesn’t want to fight for it, he won’t join the team. (Lord knows Joe isn’t going to promise some kid a starting spot just because of his last name – unless that last name is Zug.)

So if he’s going to join the team, it’s because he knows his role and wants to be here. (If he doesn’t like the option, he’ll go somewhere else.) And I won’t say no to depth at the QB position, considering the “fiasco” we went through all of 2 months ago.

No chance.

We hate JuCo transfers, even the few we actually take, which is pretty much none, with the exception of the the two guys they took for offensive line depth that have never seen the field.

Should have an opening by 2010

for Matt Sims. Does anyone really want this kid at PSU after what Phil and Chris Sims did to JoePA?

Agreed with the other postings – sounds like he couldn’t cut it L-Ville. What about Morehead State Phil?

Sims was not a “top” rated QB coming out in 2007. We’ve debated stars to the n’th power here, but he was a concensus 3-star. He obviously has some good football genes, but he really seems to be a Louisville level recruit. If JoPa took a shot at him, it would be a situation like the two JC’s we have on the team. We just need a bit of “quality” depth at QB and possibly scout team player. For the Sims’ family, he would be close to home (Rutgers would be closer!) but from PSU’s angle, it doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Eastern Illinois and Youngstown State are calling, Simmsy.
