This was hilarious:

It would be a real shame indeed if people re-tweeted the original take and tagged Chris in it all day. A real shame:

The take was so egregious and so out of his ass that it deserves to be hung in the rafters next to Max Kellerman putting the kibosh on Tom Brady’s career six years ago and Mel Kiper saying he’d retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn’t a good NFL QB. Hold these dudes accountable. Especially when Simms spewed this shit and two weeks later we found out just how valuable Jalen Hurts really is. You really couldn’t ask for better timing. Just how wrong was he?

It’s an incredible system and they had to run it because they couldn’t run their system with Jalen Hurts.

No one should get more blame for Sunday’s loss than Nick Sirianni and Shane Steichen, who called a shitty game because they tried to run a system that Hurts has mastered with Gardner Minshew.

It’s the best O-Line in football

They’ve given up three sacks per game with Minshew under center compared to 2.5 when Hurts plays.

It’s the best rushing attack in football.

The Eagles didn’t rush for over 100 yards in either game Minshew has played. They were averaging 158 before Hurts’ injury. Jalen Hurts was a large part of that. Look at this option they ran at Cam Jordan (:50 second mark). You don’t think Jalen Hurts gets around him?

It’s arguably the best duo at wide receiver…

The receiving stats haven’t plummeted, but the receivers have been forced to make some outstanding catches on errant balls from Minshew and the lack of recognition for the coverages at the line is apparent.

It’s a really good tight end in Dallas Goedert.

Has anyone seen Dallas Goedert?

This take should follow Chris Simms for the rest of his career. Just like his 2021 top-40 QB list and his 2021 QB Prospect list should:
