Chris Simms: Still not a top five species

[Hawaiipatsfan2]

This really looks like a list from a guy who can't separate the ability to sling it vs being a great quarterback in the NFL.

Which is funny coming from a guy who couldn’t do either.

Who should’ve made the list:

Kurt Warner. He was badass from 1999-2001. Simms is off his rocker not including him.

Warner belongs in the conversation. His 1999 season was, at the time, a top 5 season of all time for a QB. For a short period, there was an air of unbeatability to him similar to Montana, Brady and Mahomes.

Steve Young is the biggest snub here. He was universally viewed as the game's best QB from 1991 - 95, and second to only Favre over the second half of the decade. Young was the OG Aaron Rodgers.

This is the same guy that ranked Drake Maye at the bottom of his top 6 qbs.

The only real egregious thing I see there, given what we knew at the time, was putting McCarthy over Maye. I’ve been calling McCarthy a bust from
day 1 and he has so far done nothing but reinforce that opinion.

Elway's catching a lot of **** from people who either didn't see him, or more likely just jealous he beat the Patriots all the time. He did have the benefit of having so many home comebacks before people fully understood about playing at altitude.

Been watching since the early 70s. He was wildly inaccurate. You could not trust him at all. You know who else beat the Patriots consistently? Bubby Brister. Heck, there's reason to hate Terry Bradshaw even more than Elway given the heartbreaking OT losses.

Chris Simms likes to be provocative and troll. I never take him seriously.

 

[DoubleDeluxe]

Simms is a douche, period.
He has his own agenda, facts be damned.
He doesn’t like to be proven wrong, and will defend his position even when all sense and logic prove otherwise.

John Elway ahead of Joe Montana is funny stuff.

Let me tell you, Elway was such an inaccurate passer. He used to drive the ball into the turf and he'd make you wonder if all the roids had caused his arm to lose flex which made him so inaccruate.

Would take Montana over everyone, except TB

Simms is a moron.

Many knuckleheads here or in general don't even realize the 2000 Rams were on pace to obliterate records the 2007 Pats and later the 2013 Broncos would've had zero shot of catching before injuries kicked in.

Steve Young is the biggest snub here. He was universally viewed as the game's best QB from 1991 - 95, and second to only Favre over the second half of the decade. Young was the OG Aaron Rodgers.

I could see him on the list as well. 49ers were never the same after Waters left. Defense collapsed in 1995 and they couldn't run the ball when it mattered. That franchise has had the worst luck when it comes to injuries. The talk is the power plant today, but this has been going on for 30 years now. They squeak past GB in 1997 with a healthy Rice and Hearst. Easily handle Denver in the Super Bowl. They squeak past Atlanta in 1998 with Hearst, but wouldn't lost to Minnesota a week later.

Tom Brady(in his 40s) beat the #2 guy in the AFCCG and in the SB.

How is TB12 not over the #2 guy?

Stop trying to assign logic to these lists. Simms - like 99% of sports media - deliberately says stupid things to draw attention to himself.

He wants us to get all riled up and start threads like this. He wants us to talk about what an idiot he is.

The man does not get paid for being smart, he gets paid for driving engagement…. and the best way to do that is by saying stupid things so everyone gives him their attention.
