I have never been a fan of Chris Simms. I thought he was extremely overrated while at Texas, since he wasn't even fit to carry Major Applewhite's jock, yet somehow managed to consistently be the starter in big games he sucked ass in.
I was also glad to see him and the Buccaneers take a beating, but something like this sours it a bit. Nebraska had a backup Qb a few years ago have his spleen removed due to a bad case of Mono. I hope Simms is able to come back and play again.

I cant remember who, but one of the TV commentators (probably Irvin, since he is an OPEN racist) say that the crop of QB's who are the sons of NFL players (Griese, Simms, the Mannings) will never win anything because they grew up in the lap of luxury.

I still think the Mannings have a chance, although history does not bode well for them, but I don't see Griese or Simms ever leading their teams to a Super Bowl. Neither of them were stellar in college and would be the prototypical QB that you would build a team around. Granted Tom Brady wasn't much in college either.
I don't really know about Griese or the Mannings, but Simms always seemed rather spoiled in college. I remember his recruitment process being somewhat similar to Jimmy Clausen and Notre Dame. Everyone thought he would be the QB to lead them to a title even before he played a down.
