Having a high football IQ being a former quarterback plus his natural size is something that could develop into a real special talent.  My hope is they kick him inside to backup peko and eventually replace him.  What did you guys think of his first game and do you have high hopes or concerns?

Who dey!

I loved the pick. I love his upside and versatility. I think he is farther along than Still and Hunt at this point in their careers and both made our team. I think he will only get bigger (weight) and stronger with more time over the years in the weight room.

I think Still could be in trouble. I think Peko (Sims) should be very concerned as well if the Bengals decide to go younger and also save 3 million (3.7 from Peko minus anyone they keep in his place).

I like Peko, but he needs to show he is not 2014 Peko who played too many snaps in camp. I think Sims may be the better of the two right now. I think Thompson could back up Sims in 2015.
