Simms has emergency surgery following hit
Simms has spleen removed (Bucs Beat)
Quarterback Chris Simms had his spleen removed in emergency surgery after Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Carolina Panthers, Simms' mother Diana has told the St. Petersburg Times. She said her son's spleen apparently was ruptured early in Sunday's game.
Diana Simms said her son was listed in critical condition.
I firmly believe that we are going to see a quarterback die on the football field in the coming years.
Players are stronger, larger, and faster than ever. They are literally going to break some QB in half.
We saw Trent Green get knocked out cold recently. The injury to Drew Bledsoe that led to the emergence of Tom Brady was life threatening. And so was the hit to Simms today.
It's only a matter of time. Sadly.

Yep, and when that happens, the regulations that will end up from the outcry over that QB death will pretty much end American football, as we know it.
Don't look now, NFL, but the birds that may be singing outside your window right now may end up being BUZZARDS.
