Amazing list
Chris is the greatest.
Love the respect to Kirk!!!!
Cousins over Rodgers? Nah I don’t see it.
I reckon Love might/will end up higher than Lawrence at the end of the year
Feel like Love should be higher on this list. Top 10 for sure.
1. Open video
2. Check description
3. See Jordan Love is #13
4. Comment this
5. Close video
Bold take Patrick Mahomes will be number 1
Rodgers gets WAYYY too much hate for his last szn in GB, he was playing with a broken thumb for 2/3rds of the season and he was throwing to nobody, it was Lazard, rookie Doubs and rookie Christian Watson(hurt half the year). GB reloaded in the draft last year with Reed, Wicks, Musgrave, kraft, give Rodgers that group along with 2nd year Watson and doubs and it doesn’t look like it did at the end in GB.
Woww Aiden O Connell in the top 10! How high can he go?!
Dak gotta be top 6
This seems a little over the top to have Love or Cousins above Rodgers.
Chris, you should do an episode where you break down film with the pros and cons of these QB’s.
jordan love did more in half a season than trevor lawrence or kirk has done in their careers.
If Rodgers stays healthy he crushes Jordan Love
Great Draft King add at 1:14:00 great job👍
You talk a lot for a 12 TD 18 Int career qb 😂😂😂
Oh Yeah Justin Jefferson is with the Minnesota Vikings.
They best bills miami and k.c with the worst qb in football last year. Only reason kc won the refs actually cheated for mahomes when he threw a 4th quarter Int. If rogers is healthy they win the division and go to the afc championship game. Book it
cousins, goff, stafford ahead of love is foolish. u dont even believe it urself chris
Florio and Simms are idiots believing rumors that Minnesota would move up for a WR. There 1st pick was always QB. GM Kwesi & KOC always said that. Moving up for a WR (Neighbors) thinking there going to get another Jefferson. That would be a big gamble.SMH. They have the best WR in the game. They were only wanting to move up for a QB thats it.
Hey Chris how the fuck do you not have Jake Browning in your top 40?!?!you have some bums in there from 38-40. Jarret Stidham? Are you kidding me? He had played like 2 games before! Brewing went 4-3 with the hardest schedule in the fucking NFL last year. The Bengals played 11 playoff teams and 14 teams than finished at least 9-8. So Brownjng goes 4-3. Vs a historically hard schedule, completes over 70 % of his passes with 1936 yards, 8 YPA, 12 tds + 3 rushing tds, 7 interceptions, 98.4 passer rating and 0 lost fumbles. Jake Browning proved last year than on about 12-14 of the teams in this league he would be a starter.
Check this out. The 2 highest paid players in NFL history are both from LSU. And after Chase gets paid the top 3 highest paid players in NFL history will be from LSU.
The Cowboys are the most fucked when it comes to contracts this offseason. So they are already paying the CB Diggs near top of market money and Lamb is going to want to get paid very close to where Jefferson is and they have have to get a contract worked out with Dak. And Parsons wants to be paid right now not next season. So they have 3 near top of market for Dak and Lamb and top of market for Parsons. He is going to expect to jump Nick Bosa. The Bengals aren’t as screwed as the Cowboys are. They can pay Burrow and Chase and that’s why they aren’t going to be able to keep Tee past this year.
Trevor Lawrence that high above these guys is retarded
Nobody's watching this after he put Purdy at 17. What a joke
This guy makes no sense larry Fitzgerald only lead the league in touchdowns twice thats it with 12 and 13 mike has 5 seasons with 12 or more touchdowns Larry Fitzgerald only has 2
Yeah speaking of the Chris / Phil episode, is that still gonna be uploaded or are we at a point where the intern has swept it under the rug?
I have a ton of respect for Chris’ opinion and I watch this show every year…but I literally can’t fathom Trevor over Love. Love has ALREADY played at a higher level than Trevor ever has. And it’s not even particularly close. Love should be 11.
You've got to be shitting me with this Chris Simms. Your press credentials should be revoked with this ranking.
Chris said "assleticism"
FYI the Diggs situation was different. He was let go because he complained on social media until he was let go. Jets on the other hand was strictly a money situation so he was an easy decision to keep
@1:05:38 🤔 really?
This man gave Giants a shot but not Washington. Him and Florio hate Washington 😂
Looking forward to seeing Love and GB this year. I’m the Bills fan in the family but my youngest is the Green Bay fan so we root for them. I really want to see the Lions do well so there is some conflicting feelings.
Question, Would you rank Rodgers ahead of Kirk Cousins if you had confidence that he would run the play the way you want him to? (I.E. Being more patient with the play in order to make more throws downfield). Side note: I wish the summary on YouTube would include some of the plays looked at so that we can re-watch the plays ourselves (like when you talked about Trevor Lawrence's throwing motion going haywire). Love the chemistry you guys have built, can't wait to see the rest of the list!(more for the breakdowns than the actual number rankings).
“He played his best versus the best competition”. This is what separates him and Tua. Tua plays like absolute trash against the best competition. So any TuAnon can refer to the above statement when they wonder why Love is ranked higher than Tua. I’d rather have Love in the Dolphins
57:25 "ASSlethicism" I think the whole legs and a $ s thing has a new term
Ahmed pretends and acts like he knows what he’s talking about and is informed with all this stuff when all he does for real is just read basic stats off his laptop. And we all know that Simms doesn’t give a shit about stats. Tell me: how often does Simms ever bring up stats?? NEVER. Cuz the tape tells you everything. Stats are useless without context
God Ahmed doesn’t know anything. Sometimes he is straight talking out of his ass and pretending he knows something and Simms rightfully corrects him. Ahmed is worthless on this show seriously he offers nothing good and just wastes time with stupid unfunny jokes and unsolicited stats
AHMED WERE NOT HERE FOR STATS. Anyone can look those stats up. What we’re here for is Simms’s unique knowledge and film analysis. So zip it and let the expert talk. We don’t want to hear from you. It sucks we already have to suffer your presence
You should try to project your top 40 more for what you think is going to happen next year
Glad he still has Herbert in his top 10. I’ve seen so much disrespect recently
I love y'all, but this list is horseshit. Simms, you put QBs height & arm strength up way too high. If size was so important Ryan Leaf & JaMarcus Russell would have been better than Joe Montana, Drew Brees, Russell Wilson & Steve Young. It's a travesty to have Jordan Love over Brock Purdy on just half a good season while Purdy has done better than most in his first 2 seasons. And if it's the system, why didn't Jimmy Garoppolo & Trey Lance do better with all that talent? Also, Jimmy FG didn't lead us to a Superbowl when all he did was hand the ball off for 2 playoff games. Brock Purdy actually made us the #1 offense & lead us to the Superbowl when our defense wasn't as good as Garoppolo had. You're just plain wrong.
I would drop Kirk to 15, Trevor to 14, and Goff to 13. Probably Hurts to 12. Dak to 11. I would put Love and Rodgers above all of them, although they are risky for two different reasons.
