To be fair....Simms has ALWAYS had good things to say about Andy, even when he has those roller coaster games.  Maybe it comes from actually being in his shoes at one point....

I agree with the rest, I was one of the few who thought he actually turned a corner in Indy last season.  He didn't force things, no TOs, we just straight up ran out of talent.

I saw his development and potential may be a little higher than some - and came here stating as such - to be ripped as "A Troll." 
I'm NOT a homer.  I used to get into it w/ others on the old boards and I was on the other side of the fence.  I lost the sig bet Dalton's first year and had to sport that terrible Richard Simmons rainbow sig.  That's some credentials that separate me from the over the top 'Homer' crowd.  When I have reasons to be optimistic - I am.  When I have reasons to be pessimistic - I am.  I don't blame anyone else here for not knowing that about me - I don't really expect anyone to know or care that much about what I post.  I'm just glad the pieces are coming together that the folks that were calling to sit Dalton and start AJ are silenced (much like the crowd asking for Kenny Anderson to be benched - early in the very same year he led that team to The Super Bowl).  

I remember ya "Waynesboro"

And really, the window is for this time period right now.

 
Yeah, the announcers even said as much...and I agree.
