The 49ers’ quarterback tryouts on Tuesday will include Matt Simms, as Mike Garafolo of NFL.com tweets. Simms will join Tom Savage, Kellen Clemens, and T.J. Yates in the audition, and there could be more QBs to come.
Simms, who turns 30 on Thursday, is the son of Phil Simms. He appeared in four games for the Jets between 2013 and 2014, but has not seen the field since then. In recent years, he has spent time on the Falcons’ practice squad.
The workout will not include former Dolphins QB Matt Moore, although the 49ers did speak to his representatives. The 34-year-old is still weighing his options regarding an NFL return, his agent tells Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle (on Twitter).
Why not go with a young guy like Webb instead of these retreads
Might as well try out Manziel and Jamarcus Russell while you’re at it
They’ll bring me in for a tryout before they bring in Kap lol.
Not much there. Even with Kaepernick, you have to wonder if there’s so much rust there that he wouldn’t be of much help for at least a month. Conditioning, regaining timing and learning a new playbook would be tough for someone after being off for so long.
Matt Simms hasn’t been good since… well he wasn’t ever good. Did Dennis Dixon turned them down or something?
Davis Webb makes way too much sense. That’s why it’ll never happen. Matt Simms? Are you kidding me????
Any discussion is fruitless unless you stop the crap and bring in Kapernick for a workout.
He’d probably already be on the roster if all he did was promote dog fighting or beat up his wife.
You sure are rooting for a player who has zero interest in playing.
Just rooting for a system of equality
Good luck.
