How do you figure that? its obvious Payton was playing favorite with the returning starters, they got every opportunity to play and play through there mistakes...i'm sorry but Simmons is better than Simoneau he's had a better career and better size and ability, Payton would not bench a player....but you see now that the season is over, who is being let go (not resigned)....Simoneau.....I think its to easy to assume that he wasnt good enough thats why he didnt play....I think he (like a couple other players) just werent given the opportunity, no way there is that big of a talent drop off from Simoneau to Simmons...thats almost laughable.
