I'm not gonna make fun of Chris because Julius nearly killed him. Literally. He had emergency surgery to remove a ruptured spleen and it ended his career. It appears the hit also scrambled his brain.

I wish I could find a copy of that game. Peppers singlehandedly beat the Bucs. One of the most dominant games by a defensive player ever.

 

 

That was an impressive one for sure, but I don't think anything compares to the game Peppers had against the Raiders in 2008.  That was the first game where we really saw the post-surgery Jake Delhomme do his best Jamarcus Russell impersonation.  I think he only completed like 6 or 7 passes and threw 4 interceptions.  But Peppers was just not gonna let us lose that game.  He manhandled that Raiders team and made them his bitch.

Simms stayed in for a few more plays after the big hit, if I recall. He wasn't short on toughness. It's kind of petty to call him a wimp because he spleen was ruptured and he was never able to get his career back on track. The kid was stuck behind a terrible O-line that day and the Panthers turned him into a tackling dummy that day.

 

He's lucky to be alive, really.

 

Rough moment aside, though, as broadcasters/talking heads, the Simms deserve a lot of criticism. It's like they thought they should have been where the Manning family is today in football and the bitterness just seeps through.

Ehhh, i hate to be that guy, but iirc, Al Wallace was the guy who destroyed Simms and his spleen.

Even Jamarcus never looked as bad as Jake looked that game.

 

7 of 27 passing for 72 yards, 4 interceptions.
