Pennington Released

[Maxie the Taxi]

I still like the idea of picking up a guy like Chris Simms. The Bucs have a surplus of QB's.

While Sims is still young, he has the veteran status of being a good backup to Rodgers. I just don't like the idea of any rookie being the #2 backup.

I agree, but I bet MM doesn't.

TT is not stupid and has no ego. If MM doubted the QB's he has in camp, he'd ask TT for a Pennington/Simms type of guy and TT would oblige, even if it would set the NY scribes laughing at him -- "TT is nuts exchanging Favre for Pennington!"

MM has had his young QB guys in camp long enough to judge them and I'm beginning to think he'll stick with them. I wouldn't bank on them as backups but then MM is the man and I trust his judgment.

(On the other hand, the way this preseason has gone, Pennington or Simms might be a Packer by the time I post this. )
