Chicago Bears: Justin Fields low-balled by wannabe ex-NFL quarterbackon May 31, 2021 at 12:00 pm

At 39? It was Fields.

Just after Fields was fellow rookies Trey Lance at no. 38 and Kellen Mond at no. 37 — an incredibly odd sight to see. At 36, he ranked Marcus Mariota.

These rankings are just a few days old, but have struck quite the chord in Bears fans all over, and justifiably so.

Chicago Bears rookie Justin Fields should use this absurd analysis for easy motivation.

Remember back in 2017 when evaluating quarterback prospects, Simms was the one who questioned whether Deshaun Watson could hit a 10-yard out with consistency and even alluded to the fact that Watson could be “out of work quickly” in the NFL.

Since then, Watson has gone on to throw for over 14,500 yards and 104 touchdowns and earned three straight Pro Bowl nods. Meanwhile, Simms’ NFL “career” saw him start just 16 games, throw for a total of 3,117 yards with 12 touchdowns and 18 interceptions.

To say Simms was wrong on Watson is an understatement.

Never forget: this is also the guy who had the audacity to rank Tom Brady as his third-best quarterback of all-time and throw Joe Montana all the way down at number seven, for absolutely no logical reason.

The most annoying part of Simms’ above rankings might just be that he has Aaron Rodgers as his GOAT. The single-Super-Bowl-winning Rodgers? The greatest quarterback of all-time?
