Denver Post: Give Chris Simms the start against the Redskins

All we are saying is give Simms a chance.

To give themselves a jump-start, the Broncos should give Chris Simms the start against Washington on Sunday.

The last time we saw Simms, in the first two exhibitions, he was completing 16-of-24 passes for 186 yards and two touchdowns, without an interception, and looking sharp, more like a starter than the other quarterback. Then Simms sprained an ankle and hasn't played since.

Change would be good for the Broncos' soul-searching.

Kyle Orton hasn't performed awfully (except for the three interceptions Monday night). Yes, the Broncos still have won six games — but he is what he is — the 18th-best quarterback in the NFL. And the Broncos are a reflection of that number. They are 22nd in scoring (18.8 points per game), just ahead of the Titans, and behind, ahem, the Bears. They are 19th overall in offense, 17th in passing, 18th in rushing

Is there an actual point to this, or is this just Woody Paige being his usual idiot self?

I'd say it's the latter. Everybody knows Kyle Orton isn't a great QB. They're just like every other team at this point in the season... stuck with what they got.

They didn't win those first games on QB play. They won them on defense and running the ball. Orton is still good enough to make the odd passing play when they need it.

It's way too early for them to be talking about a change.
