@@seungholee4892 I agree. But I also don't think that's what he is saying. Saying someone is between the 26th-30th best QB in the league isn't exactly predicting someone is going to light it up.

JJ is in a good situation with the Vikings. So is Williams with the Bears. He is probably in the best situation. Although JJ has to ALL Pro/ Pro Bowl offensive tackles right now and has the best WR in the league right now.
Sean Payton played QB over in England for Leicester Panthers, in the Budweiser League, whose uniform was similar to the Saints who he went to be HC for.
I think the age factor was a bigger deal prior to NIL. There was a negative assumption made against older prospects that they stayed in school so long because they weren't good enough to come out sooner--because why would you forgo getting paid in the league if you could? These NIL deals and the transfer portal deter people from making that assumption.
Sam howell should be on this list, through the same amount of starts as Levis has had he had SIGNIFICANTLY better stats, something like 19 tds- 12 ints, he lost his confidence towards the end of the year and it wasn’t all on him
If this boy ever gets a chance with a real team, he will be successful. He had the confidence beaten out of him, never had a chance to be successful. I would love to Sean Payton coach him.
its sam darnold that doesnt belong. he was with shanahan so he got a bump!!!! sam howell and drew lock should have a spot at the bottom of the list for me with stidham. but i dont know who to cancel.... sam darnold for sure.... id say flacco or winston.... winston. id put flacco at 40 for a career tribute eheh... because he was never ever on the list!
Daniel’s can get the ball out faster than anyone in college football last year. It was incredible. I watch ALL LSU games very closely every year. Daniels is phenomenal. He is the best QB coming out since Joe Burrow. Yes last season Daniels was better than any of the 3 seasons Trevor Lawrence played at Clemson. Put their stats down beside each other and you will see what I’m talking about. Lamar, Daniels, Burrow, and Caleb Williams 2022 Heisman season were the best seasons QBs have had period ever really. Burrow had the single best season as any college QB ever.
Daniel’s passed for almost 4000 yards last year had 40 passing touchdowns at 11.2 yards per attempt. That’s fucking phenomenal. And he ran for over 1100 yards with 10 rushing TDs. 5000 yards of offense 50 tds only 4 interceptions and all in 12 only 12 games.

@@dodu8281 Better intangibles than AR my guy? Evidently you don't watch or pay attention to him. he's a 30 year old soul in a 23 year olds body. Knows where to go with the ball. Has pocket presence. Has a cannon arm and can out run every defensive player on the field outside of corner backs. Then, if he wanted to, he could run through them. His biggest weakeness is on touch throws but he can def learn. AR is taken before every one in this last draft other than caleb williams. I'm not saying he should be top 15, but to have him outside of top 32 is pretty insane. Next year simms is going to be saying "well I just didn't know if he could stay healthy excuse excuse excuse is why I didn't have him as a starter in the league." Just as he does with at least 2-3 qbs every year
Everyone clowned the Falcons for taking Penix after signing cousins. I’m not a Falcons fan but I think it was a smart move. I think having a QB sit for a year or two is great for their development. Look at Steve Young, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes, Jordan Love.
You guys didn't even mention, with those older rookies, that most of them went to crappy teams. Some of them also got hurt, like Pennington. I think Eason got injured, too. Wheeden switched back and forth to baseball... Druckenmiller needed to sit for at least a couple years.
Age for a QB doesn’t matter as much as other positions. Because QBs typically play a lot longer than other positions. Would you rather have a rookie WR who is 21 or 22 or 24 or 25 the first game of the season? You Idealy wasn’t all your non QBs to be 21 or 22. It means they are still improving still getting better and it gives their career 2-3 more years. You don’t want a guy turning fucking 29 when he rookie contract is up. I mean the reasons for that should be obvious. If it’s not obvious then you got problems i don’t know what to tell you
I feel like JJ McCarthy’s going to be a Joe Burrow type QB. Watch out. The man is cool, confident, and a presence. He’s got the arm for the NFL, he’s got the supporting cast along with a top 5 offensive mind at HC. Watch out man, Minnesota’s going to be a threat with him. This’ll be the AFC North of the East.
@@yemi506 just checked, it’s not on the channel list in the subscriber menu but if you just search Chris Simms unbuttoned it’s a little ways down. Wasn’t part of the QB countdown, it was an askmeanything
Ryan Tannehill was on that list. He is a good player. Ryan Tannehill is a dam good player. He is older now and not as good as he once was but still good.
The argument against old players is more about rb, wr dline for rb its milage and d end wr its more about them dominating players with 3 years less of weight training. I dont see the correlation with qbs either.
This is due to him having to make big deep throws because his defense was so terrible. Caleb was playing hero ball all season and was trying to score on every other play. I don't think this will be the case in Chicago as their defense is a top 10 and they have a better line and running game than USC.
JJ is very lucky. He has 2 GREAT offensive tackles he has the best WR in the league and a dam good 2 and has a Pro Bowl TE. He is lucky. If JJ had been on the 2020 or 2021 Bengals he would be a backup now or be out of the league.
You haven't seen one play much in the NFL at all, another has yet to play at all, and the other was on a horrible team. You can't say any of them are going to be good at all yet. They could all fail, all succeed, one be a bust or two could be busts 🤷🏾♂️
@@IntroducingMrLucci I want who wins. Only melanated QB winning chips is mahomes too, I hate to say that bc I'm black but iiwii 🤷🏾♂️ and I think Stroud is next bc he actually can read defenses, throw every throw, and has enough running/athleticism.........CJ Stroud is not like the average black QB though. You gotta be able to dissect the defense. Black QBs have the brains but the more athletic ones are just coached different and aren't ready usually coming into the league bc of their ability to read a defense. Stroud, Caleb, Jaden Daniels, and penix will be the next best black QBs because they're QBs first and I think one of these will win a chip before Lamar, Richardson, young, or Watson.
Should have got C. For Levis. Just cause have how well the ball was broken in. All the other balls look way too fresh. He was holding a mid season ball.
Daniel’s weighs 210 right now. Last season he played at about 203 I think. Too thin for the NFL in my opinion. At the combine he was 210. If I were him I would get my weight up to 220 lbs. pack on 10 more pounds of muscle. He will be set then. Burrow was his lightest last year at 215. He has put on at least 10 pounds this offseason. He is around 225-228 right now or headed there. 6’4’’ 220 is sufficient but 228-230 is better.
Daniel’s was sacked 22 times last year. Not a whole lot for a guy who holds onto the ball Too long. LSU had 2 all American offensive tackles but our Guards weren’t as good and our center was average.
@@GKA11111 we will see how this ages.. Richardson when healthy was by far the best rookie Qb last year.. had a better passer rating and completion percentage than Levis.. and Richardson was not benched for his backup like Levis 😅
@@gardockis.playground okay well 1 Richardson wasn’t even in the same universe as stroud bro come on🤣 if you wanna argue Levis vs Richardson that’s fine, but what you just said if objectively false
I truly believe that the Commanders panicked when Ben Johnson didn't take the job. Dan Quinn is an awful HC. Bringing in Kingsbury shows he doesn't have greater connections to develop a greater offense. Hopefully, it won't ruin Jayden.
Jayden Daniels has narrow shoulders. He doesn’t have the frame to add any weight. Where would it go? Lamar is a lot broader, which has allowed him to get quite muscular over the years without losing anything. Jayden will never be able to do that. He doesn’t have that bone structure. He will always be small. He will always be an injury liability, similarly to Bryce Young who isn’t only short, but also has narrow shoulders. Russell Wilson was able to add muscle and stay durable because he had a wide frame. Daniels isn’t that.
@@stevetan2331 - I agree. Players who have played exactly zero snaps must start at the bottom. It just doesn't make sense to rank them ahead of anyone who has played and disrespects those who have played. "I am a better race car driver than Lewis Hamilton because I have never raced"... WTF?
@@adamsgaming6265 Simple they've not thrown 1 NFL pass. None of them should be on the list of NFL QBs now. Ranking them as rookies ok, I guess but a list of NFL QBs no way.
Everyone says LSU has a good offensive line but was one taken in the draft? It’s crazy to me the hate on Jayden when he plays amazing and makes it look easy so people dissect his body. Nothin to do with football but hey he’s amazing everywhere but his frame is slight so let’s make that the problem. He’s better than penix and Williams. I’d make a bet with you 100 bucks. Daniels wins or is higher on OPLY this year
Also people were saying that he takes too many big hits which is silly becausw guys like Drake Maye or Caleb Williams too more big hits than him. Jayden Daniel's would always have the sideline in mind when scrambling outside of the pocket and would make sure to get down when needed as well
Doesn't mean he threw down the field. Nix had 4500 in less games and never much threw the ball 5 yards. You can get a ton of yards throwing it to who's open and moving the chains. Brees showed you that.
Dude Jaden Daniels is 6’4’’ 210 lbs. that’s not slight framed. This past year Joe Burrow who is 6’4’’ played at 215 lbs. lots and lots of 6’3’’-6’4’’ QBs who with 212, 215, 217 pounds. So Danika needs to gain 5-10 lbs. that pretty dam easy to do. Just drink some weight gainer protein Shakes. You will gain weight and working out you will gain muscle in no time. I’m sick of hearing how slight Daniels frame is and he is goons get hurt. Lamar Jackson is 6’2’’ and weighed 205 his first 2 years in the league. And Jaden Daniels has never missed a game at LSU. In 2 years never missed 1 game. I don’t know about his time at Arizona State.
Borrow is not the best example you could make he seems to get hurt and miss a ton of games. Maybe find someone how doesn't get hurt as an example would be better.
this is a funny comment for me to make, but is kirk cousins a better QB than Alex smith? i know he's more prolific statistically but Alex absolutely won more. had more playoff success. went 5-1 and led a terrible organization to a division title on 1 leg?!?! Traits wise he actually went 1st overall, unlike kirk cousins who went like day 3 basically. i really he has 1 less interception in his entire career than kirk through his so far. i hate that take so much, people need to stop playing Alex smith like he wasn't "dat dude" to an extent. i take one leg Alex smith over kirk cousins
Chris Simms opinion is clearly poor. I know Anthony Richardson didnt play a ton, but to be at 32 behind these guys is a total joke. I have been highly critical of Richardson since we picked him, but this is a bridge way too damn far
@@philipvanderheyden1450 How many NFL games have Nix, Penix, Daniels, or McCarthy played? Hell, Penix won't even play for another 2 years. I guess he just gets to sit in the top 32 for 2 years as a back-up. Even the Vikings liked Richardson more than McCarthy coming out, they tried trading a haul to move up and get him. JJ was their 2nd choice behind Maye lmao.
okay but that’s just what you think. Simms clearly thinks a little different, and he is much more informed than you are. All he does practically is sit and pore over QB film of all the relevant QBs, frame by frame. And that’s after living an entire lifetime of playing QB and studying QBs
Makes sense to me, When drafted he was considered an injury prone QB with amazing athletic talent and potential that desperately needed reps and experience. Going into year two he's an injury prone QB with amazing athletic talent and potential that desperately needs reps and experience. No change ='s low grade, especially when the criteria for this list is to draft a QB to get you to the superbowl this year not 2 or 3 years from now.
It is stupid saying a 24-year-old can't learn anymore and is done learning, but a 21-year-old isn't. Age is how long can you play. If you 24-year-old plays 15 years, it's more than most NFL players do. Sure, drafting a 28-year-old is way different age wise. But 24? So, what. A great NFL career would be 10 years anywhere. If Penix is great for 10 year the Viking will be more than happy. Or You could be a younger QB who still can't get on the field so what good is young if you never play like Lance. 2 teams now have had him and are telling you. He's not good. If he's good, we'll see. Because if he is they don't throw insane money a Dak. Let Dak ruin someone else's cap. 3 first round picks and he's worth nothing. Talk about a drafting mistake.
Chris is quick to call out his right calls but he also has to own that Mack Jones was a bad evaluation. He has below average arm strength, poor feet in the pocket, and horrible decision making and he still talks like he is a good QB.
Sometimes you wonder what he looks at. Jones last year put on film every QB should watch on what not to do as an NFL QB. Jones and Young. Had to be two of the worse you'll ever seen playing QB in the NFL last year.
I truly wonder, and have always wondered, where Ahmed got the idea that he is funny. Because he is definitively not funny. It’s not even debatable. And it seems he’s the last person to recognize Simms’s fake laugh versus genuine laugh
Simms this is why Max wanted to kick your ass. You have no respect for Raiders and Aiden O’Connell who took his team to 5 and 5 with all this turmoil, and you put all these other QBs that haven’t done nothing in this league ahead of him. What a joke. 👊🏼☠️
Chris I still cannot believe that Jake Browning did not make your list. 4-3 as a starter I. The hardest schedule imaginable last year for the Bengals. Over 70% completion percentage. It’s unbelievable that you left him out. I lost a lot of respect for your ranking and I’m not going to watch anymore. And what’s really crazy is you have guys on the list that haven’t ever taken a snap in the NFL. You going off what they did in College? Cool when Browning was a sophomore at Washington he had 43 td passes and 7 ints. How’s that. Or how about when Brownjng was in hs. He hold national HS records for yards and tds in a season. His senior season in hs he had 91 td passes. Yes hon read that correctly. I feel you because I didn’t believe it rather I thought it was a typo because I didn’t think it was possible To throw 91 tds in one hs season.its correct. Jake Browiing had 91 td passes his senior season in HS.
INSANE you have ANY of these guys over AR, let alone having ALL OF THEM over him!!!! I feel like you have actually watched any of Richardson film because this looney tunes behavior.
You haven't watched it. He's a horror show at playing QB. One day he might be great. But if you are going to hold your breath waiting for it you just might die. He does so many things wrong. He going to be a lot of work just not to suck.
I could not manufacture more of a square, buzzkill, prickly, bummer of a person than Ahmed. Like literally I could not build someone more of a buzzkill than Ahmed. He’s just the worst in every way. Like how lame can you be??? He’s reached a level I didn’t even know was possible
JJ is smallish though. He is 6’3’’ but played last year at 202 lbs. that a little light. Kirk Cosins plays at that weight so it’s not unprecedented but is light in my opinion.
AHMED IS SO LAME. I swear, no matter the situation or conversation, he will find a way to kill the vibe or say some stuffy remark. I always say it: he’s just the worst. Idk how anyone could suffer through his presence
HOW can you put Michael Penix in front of Jaden Daniels?? How? I just lost all respect for your show. Daniel’s won the fuckin Heisman Trophy not Penix. It wasnt even close! And Penix was throwing to 3 fucking NFL WRs too so don’t use that bullshit excuse of Well Daniel’s was throwing to 2 star 1st round WRs. Penix was throwing to a 1st round WR and 2 other WRs who were both drafted by round 4 AND Penix was playing behind THE BEST Offensive line in the nation last year. LSU had the #1 offense in the country last year. First in scoring first in total yards 1st in yards per game. LSU did all that in 12 games. Penix had 15 games to pad his stats and they still were not as good as Daniels. If LSU had just an average defense last year we win the national championship there isn’t a shadow of doubt about that. Did you see Penix in the national championship game?! It was embarrassing. It was tough to watch. He was struggling every time the ball was snapped. Under pressure he folds he doesn’t focus. Some focus under pressure some fold. The pressure of the moment and the game and just the pressure you are under from the pass rush. Penix folds under all forms of pressure. He will not make it in the NFL. The falcons will be very glad they signed Kurt Cousins soon. But Kurt may be gone before Penix goes in and it will be too late for them then. Daniel’s is fearless. He has never missed a game because of an injury. Ever. Penix missed most of his first 3 years at Indiana. Plus he is older than Daniels. That matters. Oh and do you know how many times Penix was sacked last year? 12. That’s how good of an offensive line Washington had. LSU has 2 All American offensive tackles but our guards and Center aren’t nearly as good as Washington. And yea Penix ran pretty fast at his pro day. I wish Jaden had run. Jaden runs a 4.41 easily. Probably more like 4.39. Watch the Florida LSU game and you will see what I’m talking about. He out runs all of Floridas LBs and CBs and Safety’s. All of them. Just ran by all of them. Penix had like -16 yards rushing last year. -16 fucking yards dude. Daniel’s had over 1100. 5000 yards of offense in only 12 games. Again Penix stats are for 15 games. Or 14. I’m not sure if they count the national championship game but they do count the conference championship and playoffs. Daniel’s sat out of LSUs 13th game because it was pretty meaningless. You are going to wind up eating your words about Penix and I’m going to enjoy feeding them to you.
Put it simply he reads the defense better and it the best thrower of the football in the draft. Jackson with the Ravens shows you can be an MVP but really not be a good QB at throwing the ball and reading defenses. It why the Ravens lay an egg come playoff time. Teams make he be a QB, and he shows you every year he isn't. He an athlete who plays QB not a QB who is an athlete it's a huge difference. And it shows. Being the best college player doesn't make you the best QB. It just means you put up more stats. That's doesn't mean you are a better QB.
I'd like to see Simms do a list of "All-time top QBs."
I said the same thing
He doesnt really seem to know the 1920s through the 50s well to do that fairly.
I think it’d be fun but he’d receive a lot of backlash… there’s a honestly about 20-30 “Top 10 QBs of all time”
He already did a couple years ago. It was really controversial
I don’t think he really cares to do all time rankings very much.
simms is super high on the rookies this year. I remember it was almost impossible for a rookie to rank higher than #32. 5 this year. lol
While I think that's true, it's also true that the bottom 5-10 veteran starters aren't exactly going to take a lot to pass up.

Where is the full podcast with your dad? It is not on TH-cam. We have a few quarterbacks missing
It's on the channel. 2 days ago
Only three cut ups are on the channel. I mean where is the entire podcast. Unless they talked for only 30 minutes which I doubt.
@@yemi506 just checked, it’s not on the channel list in the subscriber menu but if you just search Chris Simms unbuttoned it’s a little ways down. Wasn’t part of the QB countdown, it was an askmeanything
Ryan Tannehill was on that list. He is a good player. Ryan Tannehill is a dam good player. He is older now and not as good as he once was but still good.
Seeing the Bears on the list to make the playoffs is hilarious.
The argument against old players is more about rb, wr dline for rb its milage and d end wr its more about them dominating players with 3 years less of weight training. I dont see the correlation with qbs either.
Yay! Peacock has the Indy 500 this weekend !!
For his career, McCarthy's 3rd down success rate was only slightly better than Kenny Pickett's.
Would have never guessed Phil Simms wasn't wearing makeup for the cameras. I thought he looked great on camera. Especially at age 68.
Caleb Williams 29% self pressure. The most on this list by far. The next closest is 25%. This should bother coaches and Offensive Coordinators.
This is due to him having to make big deep throws because his defense was so terrible. Caleb was playing hero ball all season and was trying to score on every other play. I don't think this will be the case in Chicago as their defense is a top 10 and they have a better line and running game than USC.
Drake Maye will be higher than every other rookie on this list (except maybe Williams) in a couple years.
I'd have JJ McCarthy ahead of Bo Nix, nitpicky but yeah.
He thinks JJ McCarthy is NFL ready 😂 we will see
JJ is very lucky. He has 2 GREAT offensive tackles he has the best WR in the league and a dam good 2 and has a Pro Bowl TE. He is lucky. If JJ had been on the 2020 or 2021 Bengals he would be a backup now or be out of the league.
Anthony Richardson and Bryce Young are better than JJ McCarthy 🤦🏾♂️
You haven't seen one play much in the NFL at all, another has yet to play at all, and the other was on a horrible team. You can't say any of them are going to be good at all yet. They could all fail, all succeed, one be a bust or two could be busts 🤷🏾♂️
@@Jay-i4s7bbruh don't nobody want mayo QBs no more only Melenated QBs if you wanna win that's facts
I’ll take the advice from the guy who played over the fat internet commenter
I see no biases……
@@IntroducingMrLucci I want who wins. Only melanated QB winning chips is mahomes too, I hate to say that bc I'm black but iiwii 🤷🏾♂️ and I think Stroud is next bc he actually can read defenses, throw every throw, and has enough running/athleticism.........CJ Stroud is not like the average black QB though. You gotta be able to dissect the defense. Black QBs have the brains but the more athletic ones are just coached different and aren't ready usually coming into the league bc of their ability to read a defense. Stroud, Caleb, Jaden Daniels, and penix will be the next best black QBs because they're QBs first and I think one of these will win a chip before Lamar, Richardson, young, or Watson.
Should have got C. For Levis. Just cause have how well the ball was broken in. All the other balls look way too fresh. He was holding a mid season ball.
Either week 1 or week 7 out of the bye for McCarthy
I personally feel this class of qbs will have a little more success than the 21 class but time will tell
Daniel’s weighs 210 right now. Last season he played at about 203 I think. Too thin for the NFL in my opinion. At the combine he was 210. If I were him I would get my weight up to 220 lbs. pack on 10 more pounds of muscle. He will be set then. Burrow was his lightest last year at 215. He has put on at least 10 pounds this offseason. He is around 225-228 right now or headed there. 6’4’’ 220 is sufficient but 228-230 is better.
if this list is based on projections. Levis is about to open your eyes a bit wider
Will Levis playing the 2024 season on New Game +
Daniel’s was sacked 22 times last year. Not a whole lot for a guy who holds onto the ball
Too long. LSU had 2 all American offensive tackles but our Guards weren’t as good and our center was average.
What simms said about Levi’s he should have said this about Anthony Richardson 😅
Richardson isn’t close to the passer Levis is tho
@@GKA11111 we will see how this ages.. Richardson when healthy was by far the best rookie Qb last year.. had a better passer rating and completion percentage than Levis.. and Richardson was not benched for his backup like Levis 😅
@@gardockis.playground both were benched due to injuries and levis didn’t start day 1 bc he actually took longer to gain knowledge of the position
@@jameshoops10 needs longer 💯🤡
@@gardockis.playground okay well 1 Richardson wasn’t even in the same universe as stroud bro come on🤣 if you wanna argue Levis vs Richardson that’s fine, but what you just said if objectively false
I truly believe that the Commanders panicked when Ben Johnson didn't take the job.
Dan Quinn is an awful HC. Bringing in Kingsbury shows he doesn't have greater connections to develop a greater offense.
Hopefully, it won't ruin Jayden.
I have to agree. Hopefully Kingsbury is a better OC than head coach though.
Jayden Daniels has narrow shoulders. He doesn’t have the frame to add any weight. Where would it go? Lamar is a lot broader, which has allowed him to get quite muscular over the years without losing anything. Jayden will never be able to do that. He doesn’t have that bone structure. He will always be small. He will always be an injury liability, similarly to Bryce Young who isn’t only short, but also has narrow shoulders. Russell Wilson was able to add muscle and stay durable because he had a wide frame. Daniels isn’t that.
How can you rank rookies who have not played one snap in the NFL. My guess all of them will fail in the next level.
How can you say that?
@@adamsgaming6265 if we are going to start ranking players that have not played in the NFL we might as well just say they will fail.
@@stevetan2331 - I agree. Players who have played exactly zero snaps must start at the bottom.
It just doesn't make sense to rank them ahead of anyone who has played and disrespects those who have played.
"I am a better race car driver than Lewis Hamilton because I have never raced"... WTF?
@warpeace8891 Football is not the sane as simply making a left turn, and calling it a sport. 🤣
@@adamsgaming6265 Simple they've not thrown 1 NFL pass. None of them should be on the list of NFL QBs now. Ranking them as rookies ok, I guess but a list of NFL QBs no way.
Everyone says LSU has a good offensive line but was one taken in the draft? It’s crazy to me the hate on Jayden when he plays amazing and makes it look easy so people dissect his body. Nothin to do with football but hey he’s amazing everywhere but his frame is slight so let’s make that the problem. He’s better than penix and Williams. I’d make a bet with you 100 bucks. Daniels wins or is higher on OPLY this year
Also people were saying that he takes too many big hits which is silly becausw guys like Drake Maye or Caleb Williams too more big hits than him. Jayden Daniel's would always have the sideline in mind when scrambling outside of the pocket and would make sure to get down when needed as well
Drew Brees threw down the field more. He has 5 5000+ yard seasons. 5 or 6. That’s the most in NFL history
Doesn't mean he threw down the field. Nix had 4500 in less games and never much threw the ball 5 yards. You can get a ton of yards throwing it to who's open and moving the chains. Brees showed you that.
Dude Jaden Daniels is 6’4’’ 210 lbs. that’s not slight framed. This past year Joe Burrow who is 6’4’’ played at 215 lbs. lots and lots of 6’3’’-6’4’’ QBs who with 212, 215, 217 pounds. So Danika needs to gain 5-10 lbs. that pretty dam easy to do. Just drink some weight gainer protein
Shakes. You will gain weight and working out you will gain muscle in no time. I’m sick of hearing how slight Daniels frame is and he is goons get hurt. Lamar Jackson is 6’2’’ and weighed 205 his first 2 years in the league. And Jaden Daniels has never missed a game at LSU. In 2 years never missed 1 game. I don’t know about his time at Arizona State.
Borrow is not the best example you could make he seems to get hurt and miss a ton of games. Maybe find someone how doesn't get hurt as an example would be better.
this is a funny comment for me to make, but is kirk cousins a better QB than Alex smith? i know he's more prolific statistically but Alex absolutely won more. had more playoff success. went 5-1 and led a terrible organization to a division title on 1 leg?!?! Traits wise he actually went 1st overall, unlike kirk cousins who went like day 3 basically. i really he has 1 less interception in his entire career than kirk through his so far. i hate that take so much, people need to stop playing Alex smith like he wasn't "dat dude" to an extent. i take one leg Alex smith over kirk cousins
Does anyone with any credence give a damn about Simms and his top qb list. I’m thinking no🥴
There’s 8.1 billion people that means Dak Pisscott is 8.2 Billion Ranked as a QB worst ever to live
Chris Simms opinion is clearly poor. I know Anthony Richardson didnt play a ton, but to be at 32 behind these guys is a total joke. I have been highly critical of Richardson since we picked him, but this is a bridge way too damn far
How many games has the dude played? Have a lil Smokey Smokey and chill out
@@philipvanderheyden1450 How many NFL games have Nix, Penix, Daniels, or McCarthy played?
Hell, Penix won't even play for another 2 years.
I guess he just gets to sit in the top 32 for 2 years as a back-up.
Even the Vikings liked Richardson more than McCarthy coming out, they tried trading a haul to move up and get him. JJ was their 2nd choice behind Maye lmao.
His biggest knock seems to be accuracy, yet Will Levis is at 26, ending the year with a worse completion percentage than Anthony Richardson.
okay but that’s just what you think. Simms clearly thinks a little different, and he is much more informed than you are. All he does practically is sit and pore over QB film of all the relevant QBs, frame by frame. And that’s after living an entire lifetime of playing QB and studying QBs
Makes sense to me, When drafted he was considered an injury prone QB with amazing athletic talent and potential that desperately needed reps and experience. Going into year two he's an injury prone QB with amazing athletic talent and potential that desperately needs reps and experience.
No change ='s low grade, especially when the criteria for this list is to draft a QB to get you to the superbowl this year not 2 or 3 years from now.
It is stupid saying a 24-year-old can't learn anymore and is done learning, but a 21-year-old isn't. Age is how long can you play. If you 24-year-old plays 15 years, it's more than most NFL players do. Sure, drafting a 28-year-old is way different age wise. But 24? So, what. A great NFL career would be 10 years anywhere. If Penix is great for 10 year the Viking will be more than happy. Or You could be a younger QB who still can't get on the field so what good is young if you never play like Lance. 2 teams now have had him and are telling you. He's not good. If he's good, we'll see. Because if he is they don't throw insane money a Dak. Let Dak ruin someone else's cap. 3 first round picks and he's worth nothing. Talk about a drafting mistake.
Levis was 32 pick 😬
Chris is quick to call out his right calls but he also has to own that Mack Jones was a bad evaluation. He has below average arm strength, poor feet in the pocket, and horrible decision making and he still talks like he is a good QB.
Sometimes you wonder what he looks at. Jones last year put on film every QB should watch on what not to do as an NFL QB. Jones and Young. Had to be two of the worse you'll ever seen playing QB in the NFL last year.
I truly wonder, and have always wondered, where Ahmed got the idea that he is funny. Because he is definitively not funny. It’s not even debatable. And it seems he’s the last person to recognize Simms’s fake laugh versus genuine laugh
lol the anger behind this comment 😂
@@jimmorrison3120 how does one make the leap to detect anger? What indicator in that post would suggest anger?
@@jimmorrison3120 I think it’s clear by what I wrote that the overriding sentiment is bewilderment
Either Chris is brilliant, and Daniel jones is off the list, or he’s a fool and he’s higher on list then some of these guys who are clearly better
Thought Jake Browning would b top 40 but .....
Simms this is why Max wanted to kick your ass. You have no respect for Raiders and Aiden O’Connell who took his team to 5 and 5 with all this turmoil, and you put all these other QBs that haven’t done nothing in this league ahead of him. What a joke. 👊🏼☠️
Broncos will be lucky to go 8-9.
Chris I still cannot believe that Jake Browning did not make your list. 4-3 as a starter I. The hardest schedule imaginable last year for the Bengals. Over 70% completion percentage. It’s unbelievable that you left him out. I lost a lot of respect for your ranking and I’m not going to watch anymore. And what’s really crazy is you have guys on the list that haven’t ever taken a snap in the NFL. You going off what they did in College? Cool when Browning was a sophomore at Washington he had 43 td passes and 7 ints. How’s that. Or how about when Brownjng was in hs. He hold national HS records for yards and tds in a season. His senior season in hs he had 91 td passes. Yes hon read that correctly. I feel you because I didn’t believe it rather I thought it was a typo because I didn’t think it was possible
To throw 91 tds in one hs season.its correct. Jake Browiing had 91 td passes his senior season in HS.
INSANE you have ANY of these guys over AR, let alone having ALL OF THEM over him!!!! I feel like you have actually watched any of Richardson film because this looney tunes behavior.
You haven't watched it. He's a horror show at playing QB. One day he might be great. But if you are going to hold your breath waiting for it you just might die. He does so many things wrong. He going to be a lot of work just not to suck.
I could not manufacture more of a square, buzzkill, prickly, bummer of a person than Ahmed. Like literally I could not build someone more of a buzzkill than Ahmed. He’s just the worst in every way. Like how lame can you be??? He’s reached a level I didn’t even know was possible
Fareed's great but hes no BIG PHIL sorry buddy
Stop it with the Bo Nix thing this guy is a high-grade back up at best.
I don't know when or where Bo Nix beat you up, I have seen several unhinged comments from you in a rage about the Broncos.
😂😂😂😂😂JJ MC CARTHY...STOP IT..CHRIS .NOT AGAIN..WHEN AND WHERE DID HE WIN A GAME THROWING THE BALL??? BUST ALL DAY..YU WRONG AGAIN..
If y'all don't have Lamar Jackson number 1 we know exactly why tho for real.
Because he's a better runner than passer?? Like Justin. That's why. 🤡
JJ is smallish though. He is 6’3’’ but played last year at 202 lbs. that a little light. Kirk Cosins plays at that weight so it’s not unprecedented but is light in my opinion.
Simmsy gotta stop saying “right” so much, right?
Better than umm ummm ummm
So glad he left Drake Maye’s weak ass off the list. He’s going to be a HUGE bust
Simms is garbage
No Trey Lance lol
Obviously
AHMED IS SO LAME. I swear, no matter the situation or conversation, he will find a way to kill the vibe or say some stuffy remark. I always say it: he’s just the worst. Idk how anyone could suffer through his presence
Come on Chris.... Jezzzzz of course Age Matters.... You gonna draft a 28 Year old QB ? Ughhhh
drake maye makes the top 25? doubtful.. sad to see

HOW can you put Michael Penix in front of Jaden Daniels?? How? I just lost all respect for your show. Daniel’s won the fuckin Heisman Trophy not Penix. It wasnt even close! And Penix was throwing to 3 fucking NFL WRs too so don’t use that bullshit excuse of Well Daniel’s was throwing to 2 star 1st round WRs. Penix was throwing to a 1st round WR and 2 other WRs who were both drafted by round 4 AND Penix was playing behind THE BEST Offensive line in the nation last year. LSU had the #1 offense in the country last year. First in scoring first in total yards 1st in yards per game. LSU did all that in 12 games. Penix had 15 games to pad his stats and they still were not as good as Daniels. If LSU had just an average defense last year we win the national championship there isn’t a shadow of doubt about that. Did you see Penix in the national championship game?! It was embarrassing. It was tough to watch. He was struggling every time the ball was snapped. Under pressure he folds he doesn’t focus. Some focus under pressure some fold. The pressure of the moment and the game and just the pressure you are under from the pass rush. Penix folds under all forms of pressure. He will not make it in the NFL. The falcons will be very glad they signed Kurt Cousins soon. But Kurt may be gone before Penix goes in and it will be too late for them then. Daniel’s is fearless. He has never missed a game because of an injury. Ever. Penix missed most of his first 3 years at Indiana. Plus he is older than Daniels. That matters. Oh and do you know how many times Penix was sacked last year? 12. That’s how good of an offensive line Washington had. LSU has 2 All American offensive tackles but our guards and Center aren’t nearly as good as Washington. And yea Penix ran pretty fast at his pro day. I wish Jaden had run. Jaden runs a 4.41 easily. Probably more like 4.39. Watch the Florida LSU game and you will see what I’m talking about. He out runs all of Floridas LBs and CBs and Safety’s. All of them. Just ran by all of them. Penix had like -16 yards rushing last year. -16 fucking yards dude. Daniel’s had over 1100. 5000 yards of offense in only 12 games. Again Penix stats are for 15 games. Or 14. I’m not sure if they count the national championship game but they do count the conference championship and playoffs. Daniel’s sat out of LSUs 13th game because it was pretty meaningless. You are going to wind up eating your words about Penix and I’m going to enjoy feeding them to you.
Put it simply he reads the defense better and it the best thrower of the football in the draft. Jackson with the Ravens shows you can be an MVP but really not be a good QB at throwing the ball and reading defenses. It why the Ravens lay an egg come playoff time. Teams make he be a QB, and he shows you every year he isn't. He an athlete who plays QB not a QB who is an athlete it's a huge difference. And it shows. Being the best college player doesn't make you the best QB. It just means you put up more stats. That's doesn't mean you are a better QB.
Denver might have the worst quarterback room and all of these teams and you’re over here pumping them up they’re terrible bro
