Simms is my absolute favorite sports personality. Love his takes, personality, etc. Listen to the pod and PFT at work every day, man.

Honestly, I don't think there are many "mainstream" analysts who could determine QB's through their grips. Credit to simms and his attention to detail lol.

Hey Chris and Ahmed! I hope you enjoyed your little break, the homies and I sure am glad to have you back. I’m seeing these amazing QBs from NFL history grips being broken down on the last pod, but not one has been the purest spinner of all-time. Could you break down the grip of the legend Warren Moon and where would he rank for you as far as the pure spinners of the rock in NFL history? Love the pod, Go Hawks! ps Bonus question; If the NFL brought back the old school 1980s style NFL Fastest Man competition, who would win between undefeated 4x champion Darrell Green and the Cheetah Tyreek Hill?

I did meet Riq Woolen last summer and asked him if he could beat Darrell Green in a race, he said yes confidently enough that I am confident he had no idea who I was talking about! I’m kidding, he did say he was faster and I did hit him with “but it’s Darrell Green though?” We had a good chuckle about it.

NOOOOOOOOO!!! IT CANT BE OVER!! NOOOOOOOOOOO

Great show, listen to you guys all the time! Consider adding a segment to talk about each division outlook into the new season, review each team's calendar and set expectations. Would love to see a 32 team ranking now post-draft additions. hope to hear more from the show!

It would be hilarious if he got Lamar Jackson wrong 😂

The across motion is what I see when I think of Rodgers throwing,they probably saw him do it and copied him

I would love to see Herbo on the Dolphins. Just launching BOMBS. Stroud in Minny. Lamar in Indy. Burrow in LAR. Mahomes in GB. Lawrence in Philly.

Damn Chris used to be the dude highest on Lamar Jackson now he’s gonna put Stroud (who is really good but 1 year) and Williams over the 2x mvp for the next 5 years? Crazy. I could see stroud being Mahomes good but we have 1 year. Idk just a little surprising especially when he said “no disrespect to” and mentioned 2 guys after him in his rankings. What everyone forgets about him is other than andrews and him getting zay last year he’s just been throwing to a bunch of 3s his whole career so far.

@GeeWhiz77

Dude no other QB has had to do more with less. Lamar STILL has yet to throw to a #1 receiver. He just last year got a potential #2 in Zay Flowers. He single-handedly put the offense on his back to win games. His Oline is trash. Stanley is an injured train wreck. Give Lamar weapons and watch him cook. It's laughable to see a 2 time MVP (1 unanimous) get placed behind Allen who has done NOTHING. No conference championships or MVP's and he's had top tier weapons. Burrow only has success when LAMAR IS INJURED. Lamar owns Burrow head to head. It's just laughable these goofy ass lists.

Cooper got me so hype for football season

According to Big Phil's book, most QB's are either a "1 & 4" or a "2 &5"

Shannahan would trade Purdy for Love in a heart beat

Mike's throw illustrates a point I always make -- I have absolutely no clue how to judge high school QBs. They all have tapes that make them look like Joe Namath. They all have fairly strong arms. If I were a college coach, I would recruit in volume at QB

Like Simms but I still cant over his stance on Gardner Minshew and Aiden OC. I may be bias but even last season I was pretty impressed w Minshew w a bad colts team almost making the PO, even prior to joining the raiders I said he was surprisingly better than he was given credit for. AOC should on the list with the young and reckless tier.

Can't we just play match the color to make it easier lol 😂

Simms could talk for 25 hours about an external faucet leak on your house and how it could've been avoided - without recommending how to fix it.

Following the last question, I would almost kill to see Josh Allen in Philly or Minnesota. Josh Allen with Justin Jefferson would be lethal. As far as my team, I'd die to see my Steelers with Dak. I think Tomlin could take Dak to a far greater level than he is now. Also, Tomlin holds his team accountable.

Mahomes wasn't impatient in the Raiders game on Christmas, he was rattled by Madd Maxx and Malcom Koonce kinda like the Buccs defense did to him in the SB. Don't get it twisted peeps, re-watch the damn game, I dare you

25 for 25 that is impressive

@@UShouldLaugh right. I know it's not malicious but something might be wrong with your formula when top players that most lead directly to winning are graded as average. Pff is nice for linemen grades but the problem is with a lot of it is they can't calculate difficulty of throws for qbs and don't understand responsibilities of players on certain plays such as defenders who are directed to stay in zones. I just don't like when people reference them as end all be all.

The very estimable Mt Simms

I don't like ranking based on "categorizing" ,, for example...Brock and Tua are WAY too low...Aaron Rodgers hasn't done shit in two freaking years so his ranking is based on his past...not his "current" work. Did you know that Brock Purdy and Tua lead the league in number of completed passes over 30+ 40+ 50+ yards?

Joe burrows got little hands

How was Josh Allen working with less than Mahomes?? People keep making this point but Allen literally had a #1 receiver who could take the top off the defense in Stefon Diggs, even if his production fell off when they changed OCs, plus Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kincaid were fairly reliable when targeted. Travis Kelce isn't that kind of deep threat, as a lot of his catches are in the intermediate range of the field, and he was covered well a lot because of injuries so the only viable alternative was Rashee Rice, who was a great YAC machine but not a downfield pass catcher. Saying Allen did more with less is straight up gaslighting. Actually, scratch that, it's throwing a match at the freakin' Hindenburg.

Penalizing QBs because they have good coaches is definitely my least favorite trend of the last few years. The QBs still have to execute these offenses. Usually with accuracy and timing (which Simms has never seemed to respect much). If Shanahan is responsible for so much of Purdy's success, why was Lance traded away? Wouldn't a more physically gifted athlete thrive in such an easy to execute plug and play offense? Or maybe Purdy should get a little more credit for translating stuff from the white board to the actual field. Also, he straight up lied when he said he appreciates QBs who take what is given. The dude talks shit on slants all the time. Lmao.

How the hell can you throw a ball when you're squeezing it as hard as you can.

Purdy was BY FAR the most efficient QB in the league last year. Some of his advanced stats were top 5 all-time among all QB seasons. That can't be all system and play-makers. Yes, some missed throws - Still was the most efficient. Tape doesn't lie sometimes. I don't think he's top 6, but I do believe he's top 10. His career QB rating is 111. Insane.

Stroud has not had his second year yet, and GOING INTO his second year, Marino wouldn’t have been anywhere near the top of this list.
