Simms still pissed about this facemask or something?
Usually, I ignore the trolls here on the blog. I try to stick to football and educated analysis because there’s an entire market out there for people saying stupid things to get attention. And nothing gets easier attention with the NFL than someone saying something stupid about the Patriots. But when Chris Simms pops up for the THIRD TIME in two years on Boston media to tell us that Tom Brady isn’t a top-5 QB anymore, he needs to be called out.
First, I don’t give a shit about anyone’s rankings. I really don’t. Everyone’s got their top-5 this and their top-5 that and really, none of them matter. It’s all arbitrary opinions and everyone is entitled to their opinion and rankings however they want. My superpower is that I don’t get riled up by other people’s arbitrary rankings. What interests me is football. What happens on the field. Strategy. Not how a random someone stacks individual players in their own mind. You think Andrew Luck is the best quarterback in the league? Great for you.
But Chris Simms is an idiot and maybe if his dumb takes were a little more creative or at least backed up with, you know, facts, I’d have some respect for him. Let’s remember Simms coached with the Patriots for a season in 2012. Not that that should mean he’s pissing rainbows and happiness all over Brady and the Pats all the time, but maybe have a little respect? Or at least put forth some intelligent analysis about them?
Let’s take a look back at Simm’s horrible Patriots takes.
