My Take
Chris Simms interests me as a study in reinvention. A quarterback carries enormous expectation, and after starring at Texas and being drafted by Tampa Bay in 2003, with stints in Denver and Tennessee, his playing career never quite reached the heights it promised. What I respect is the pivot. Rather than fade out, he turned the disappointment into authority, becoming a sharp NFL analyst who reads games with a former QB's eye. That second act, building a respected voice from an unfinished first chapter, strikes me as the more durable achievement. There's real New Jersey grit in that.
