The problem is, he was not always terrible.

So you have a guy that was one of the better up and coming corners in the league, one that had one of the best quarterback ratings against of ANY corner, and he suddenly falls into the toilet.

You have 2 options:

1 - Fix it and get your corner back.

2 - Dump him and see if you have anything else in the cupboard.


We have nothing in the cupboard. The other option is to try to fix it.

To fix a problem you need to admit it is there, identify the cause and remedy the cause. So the question is why?

Usually problems manifest as a reaction to change.

What changed?

Well we know the scheme changed. Some of the background guys. The pressure our DL puts on people changed.
Simon may or may not be hurt, that might be a change.

Well I hate to bring this up but both times he got burned by Edelmen in SB49 (tho the first pass from Brady was off target), he still got burned AND he cried foul.

I never really liked him on the field. I think Sherman was trying to boost his confidence a little bit. We all know he most likely won't be better than Sherm. Edelmen took out Lane, then roasted Simon.

Simon hasn't recovered since.

Simon has looked terrible all pre-season. He's always getting burned, holding receivers, and then complaining to the refs. I mean, is there a play where he doesn't complain to the refs?
He is like the Dez Bryant of DB's only he never makes a big play.

Simon's awful. I've never liked him and never got the love for the guy.

Agreed. Cut him and never look back. The team would be better off without him.
