The Facts:
Simms may enter training camp behind Jeff Garcia, Bruce Gradkowski and perhaps Luke McCown, at least based on reduced reps in the offseason. "It's tough. Of course I want to be out there and taking all the reps, " he said. "That's part of being an athlete and being a competitor. But the time will come. I know when July comes, nobody is going to be begging for more reps."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
It should be noted that Simms is working to regain the throwing mechanics he lost after developing some "bad habits" while unconsciously trying to protect his abdomen in the wake of last year's splenectomy. Whatever the case, Simms faces an an uphill battle to reclaim his job from Garcia, who has been declared the leader in the clubhouse by HC Jon Gruden -- not that the younger QB is ready to give up. "Oh, I see myself battling for No. 1," Simms said. "Without a doubt. No doubt."
