A versatile quarterback who played receiver (and did it very well I might add) was a regular package in Chan's game-plans. It could happen, and honestly I hope he does have something up his sleeve like that. Secondly.. as for quarterback situations, has anyone thought about this scenario: Chris Simms, from the Bucs, since they have, what, 57 quarterbacks on their team now, including Jeff 'Crazy-legs' Garcia? Chris Simms played through extraordinary pain in years past, with his appendectomy on hold, and still played well. Also, he's a lefty, so Jake Long (should we pick him up) could play at LT, and thereby become our "RT" (since Simms is a southpaw) If we then picked up a RT such as Olivea, or someone else that's competent, he would become our "LT", and do fine. Jake Long (or Tackle X, since we don't know who will be there) will still face the best pass-rush specialists the others team have, but it wouldn't be from Simms's blind side. I see a few kinks in this plan, but either way, that linemen will either face lesser pass-rushers, and therefore hold up better, or he will face the best, but Simms would see a rush coming and be able to avoid it. He's experienced enough that our team could rally around him, but young enough that he's able to adapt, and sit on the bench a year and soak in our offense. He's more mobile than what we're used to seeing (besides Casey Printers) in a red uniform, but he's also got the strength to play through injuries, grind it out, sit in the pocket and deliver the ball. I like Croyle, and think he'll do fine, but competition does breed results, and I think Damon is just now starting to show his age. In a couple of years, if that, he will be done, and we need an insurance plan pronto. Any thoughts on that?

Four receiver set, double reverse with a flea-flicker finale. :) If he’s deemed healthy enough, I say we take Dennis Dixon in the 5th or 6th round to use as a 3/4th WR plus serve as QB-backup.
