I think we had to put Lewis on the original 53 to end up putting him on the pup list , if no one picks up Simon I bet he will be back , just a thought

 

Literally no chance Simon is back.

Some just don't get it!

I don't understand why there are some who are complaining about Simon getting cut. He does not fit what the coaches want in his position. He had 3 sacks last season and is that really what some are judging him on?  If you think he was on of the better players what does that say?

It's not like we are cutting JJ Watt or something.

I think all it is is something to complain about. If it wasn't this it would be something else.

Not coming back.... he is meeting with the Jets.  Besides, CB is cutting the ones who carried the D last year, ..... part of his "process".

Did Simon, really carry our D last year?

Yeah the love affair with John Simon is kind of a head scratcher. He’s an average, injury prone linebacker that was barely on the field for half of our games last year. His “production” won’t be difficult to replace.

 

I think as Colts fans we’re just so used to having terrible LBers that we tend to glorify the average play of a guy like Simon, & make him out to be the next coming of Lawrence Taylor or Brian Urlacher. He’s neither.

He played 9 games, he didn’t carry anything.

Along with Hankins, sad as our defense was (is)..... he played as well as anyone we have currently.  And Hankins, we don't need a run stopper on this team, we have lots of them, so let's cut him too.

You're on the right path. I dunno if we all are totally aware of this or not, but we overreact to ok/solid players, because of the later Chris Polian drafts and Grigson's constant stream of whiffs. This team has been getting by using lesser players than John Simon, despite his middle of the pack ability. Hence, John Simon looks pretty good by comparison.

You know Grigson’s drafts were bad when a guy that’s been in the league for 5 years, with 3 different teams, hasn’t sniffed a Pro Bowl nod, & has only played a full 16 game season once, looks beastly by comparison.

Earlier this week, I saw the best explanation for why cutting Simon makes the most sense....

 

It came from Zac Keefer of the Indy Star, and it goes like this....

 

Keep Simon and yes he willl help you win in 2018.    But cut Simon and give those snaps to the younger players, Turay and Basham and the rest, and those guys will help the Colts win in 2019, 20 and 21.

 

You either get that, or you don’t.

Wow.  That's pretty sad isn't it.
