That was exactly the case, not to mention the season was lost and Sims needed to get his legs under him, Thornton merely named him to get more reps than someone else who was on the team that could have gotten them.

If he stayed and extra 2 seasons with the team, I probably would've gotten his jersey; not the best run player, but man could he cover for a safety and he was a baller on teams.

As there will be with every team, no doubt.

There are a ton of reasons for people to have their personal favourites; they know them, they went to the same school as them, they are local guys, etc.

Thus, its understandable for others to root for these guys, however the chances of a scrub here being a stud somewhere else, are always significantly against them.
