[@BrentonCarr]

for every Payton Manning there are 4 Jamarcus Russel's

[@ProfKisuto]

I wouldn't go THAT far.

[@hudsonpowers]

lol only luck, Lawrence, and Williams have been on this level coming oht

[@jsong21]

Not true at all. Peyton Manning is a top3 QB in the history of the NFL. He is NFL royalty... more like 1 Manning for every 1000 Jamarcus Russells. For every Kirk Cousins there are 4 Jamarcus Russells

[@codyb.3015]

Bringing this up is moronic. Russel was a lazy addict, and the only reason he was drafted as high as he was because the Raiders owner liked him. The red flags were BLATANT even at the time. It's true that most picks are busts, but the Russell comp is r*tarded. Russell was an obvious bust to begin with.

[@earlmcmanus194]

​@@ProfKisuto , the number of QBs that make it to their second contract is about 1 in 3, let alone whether they live up to those contracts. Peyton and Jamarcus are probably a bit too extreme of examples, being the poplar ends of the spectrum but there are definitely more Carson Wentzes than there are Carson Palmers.

[@jasonderby7635]

“Jayden Daniels is the Incredible Hulk compared to Bryce Young.” 😂😂😂

[@beaudroux21]

I like Kurt Warner’s honesty. He says it is virtually impossible to know how these qbs translate to the nfl because their college tape is so schematically different. Between the ears processing is paramount.

[@bofi1280]

Absolutely, we can never know until we see it.

[@travisoshea]

Well, Kurt’s latest break down of Caleb vs Washington there are a lot of concepts that will be at the next level. The NFL is now in more of a spread offence type but, playing it with different personnel. We will see a lot more spilt safety coverages this year and quarters looks to help with overhangs on the RPOs and being flat footed on run support and those intermediate throws. But yes, you never really know how any of these guys will translate physically and mentally

Daniel’s is the best QB this draft

[@KingPolo985]

A lot of people like down Daniels because of his talented WR’s . Malik Nabers was projected to be a 1st rounder coming into the season, but Brian Thomas Jr. was not . Daniels play led to his receivers having a great season. IMO he is the best pocket passer and has the best deep ball placement of any QB in this class

[@ajkareem5685]

Brian thomas jr is a dawg too. You def can not say Daniel’s elevated their play

[@DairyHamilton]

Every defensive player that talked about Daniel’s mentioned his agility twitchiness and fluidity when running he’s very fast and smooth. He is not a pocket passer but nice try “who dat” I’m sure you rode his dingle ling since the moment he stepped in Baton Rouge😂

Sims has revised his evaluation of Jayden Daniels after actually watching game tape of him. Before, he criticized Daniels' throwing mechanics and ability, BUT NOW (after finally actually watching game tape!) he is reporting that Daniels' throwing mechanics and ability is Top Shelf. Better late than never, I guess!

[@w00deey12]

Relax

[@keenannash2947]

Well if you actually listen to him talk he says he doesn't evaluate guys during the season and any opinions before the draft process are just based on casual observations here and there.

[@darkstark1949]

You act like every guy watches game tape for every single prospect on a weekly basis. Most of the noise all year long are just based on casual observations. There are very few people who do film breakdown after every single game, and most of those guys are NFL scouts. It's good when somebody can realize their initial observations were wrong rather than "stick to their guns" because they don't want to admit they made a mistake.

[@onewright6354]

It’s funny how no one is talking about the bad stuff. Crying to his mom after losing on the sideline..Refusing to do press conferences after losing games the last 5-7 games of the season. The guy is immature and throws fits. He not a leader. But sports casters got to boost someone. But the bears should definitely trade the pick

[@silntstl]

One of the keys to being a successful NFL QB is mental toughness. Crying to mommy tells me he is anything but. He may have the physical tools but QB is as much about mental as it is physical toughness.

[@frederickpfeiffer9276]

Penix is going to put to sleep all these quarterbacks and several GMs fired

[@Sasha-vb3mh]

He’s my dark horse for sure

[@pugilist102]

Yup, the arm talent, quick release, sold me. If he can read defenses, his ability to throw and throw quickly is topshelf. He is my #1 pick, only reservation are his injuries.

Bears need to trade the pick and load up.

[@jamesbickle4912]

Trade the pick, get picks, THEN draft a qb. There. Corrected. This is too good of a qb class to not pick one of them up.

[@abcdxyz3716]

He was never elite even in 1985

Earl Morrall, a QB, has 3.

Simms said Lamar Jackson was the best qb in that draft when they was telling him too play receiver look it up

[@Andrew-cp9gh]

He also said Zach Wilson was the best qb in his class

[@Andrew-cp9gh]

Lamar my fav qb but it’s honestly a guessing game at the end of the day because depending on what team they land on determines majority of their success or lack or lack thereof

[@elliotwilkinson8784]

I feel like some guys just have a ranking and dont actually properly watch the film. Simms clearly does and that is why he has probably the most accurate rankings. Yes he gets some wrong but, every single person has when rankings QBs.

[@20Schmidt]

Simms does the work, no doubt (educated opinions)

[@kushalp8493]

Simms thought Zach Wilson was top QB in that draft class hahaha

[@vinnytucks87]

He also got Mahomes and recently CJ spot on. You win some you lose some.

[@marcelmartins5938]

So what? Zach went 2nd overall and was clearly the top QB for most of the league after Lawrence. Yes he had a few ones that went wrong but so does the league miss on many. on the opposite side, he nailed a lot of them, like Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Stroud, Jordan Love, Bortles, etc. He is one of the best qb Analysts the media has out there. Always gonna listen to his evaluations

[@ajays9936]

Jets are a broken franchise. They break QBs

[@williamclark3670]

This slighting of McMahon is shameful. Doesn’t the Vikings fan remember the 1985 Monday night game? Even former Bears like Dan Hampton later acknowledged that McMahon was the key.

[@DJC1916]

If it weren't for Green Bay's Charles Martin's absolute cheap shot slamming McMahon to the ground, the 86' Bears would've repeated as SB Champs. McMahon wasn't elite or the best, but he was the leader and best for that team.

[@Markell-od2fr]

This guy rode the bench his whole career all three of these guys will be great go pats

[@wildmountainsky]

Marginal discrepancy in talent is not the deciding factor when it comes to success at the QB position. We have seen many elite College QB's, taken in the 1st round and yet fail in the NFL. Intelligence, leadership skills, moral foundation, focus/ commitment and 'heart' is what separates those who fail from those who become Elite QB's in the NFL.

[@troy8231]

1:46 Mike should apply this to anything science related. As I did, he will eat a large slice of embarrassing humble pie after applying this way of thinking across every possible subject that one can have an opinion on.

[@bouji_]

The diamond in the haystack. 😂 Anyway, I knew Chris would come around eventually.

[@gregspauldini3139]

Yeah as Simms said people criticize Williams for trying to play hero ball too much but in his mind he probably had too to have a chance in games since his defense was lousy. Plus when you have his kind of talent it's easy to go for too much when you more often then not succeed at doing it. And I like that he mentioned Allen who's really the poster boy for hero ball. But that's what I love about Allen. It's part of what makes him great and it's also why they're never out of a game. I just hope the Bears don't try to change him. He definitely has to dial it back, but he also needs to be who he is which is making plays when things break down.

[@khawarsiddiqui341]

How insightful. What a well thought out perspective. I could not find this same perspective anywhere else. I really do believe that Chris really hit the tapes hard and really really and critically evaluated these prospects and not just copy and pasted what everyone else said. Yeah. I really believe that.

"He has a good feel overall as a runner and a passer and has had some highlight worthy throws in his college career. He absolutely has a high ceiling as an NFL prospect, and he has a level of confidence that's evident and needed to succeed." This is what was said about Zach Wilson in April 2021. All those pundits can say all kinds of things about college QBs. Many of them were dead wrong. I am always skeptical of pre draft hypes. We shall see how Chris Simms' evaluations will turn out one year from now.

This one is tough one with Daniels. You watch the arm and angles and it seems like he’s phenomenal. Then you watch for the progression….and like Fields in college, it just wasn’t exactly necessary. Especially with those legs and the WR can always just run downfield after the play broke down…and that’s not always the case in the NFL. Drake Maye reminds me of a Carson Wentz without the balls.

@@yellowsnowman9157 nah he’s really similar scrambles around and looks to throw deep and does his best work off script if he was Mahomes size I’d get it I was telling ppl Mahomes was the best QB prospect in that 2017 classes Williams is top pick worthy but doesn’t check the height box and he’s not running at the combine or doing any agility testing so really can’t see if he’s a college athlete or he’s just freaky athlete

[@bgcyrus]

Best running QB since Fields?!?! 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ Fields wasn’t a running QB like Daniels. Daniels is more like Kyler and Lamar. Fields can run, don’t get me wrong, but he’s not pickin’em up and puttin’’em down like those 3.

[@Flannman91]

Daniels at 1

[@scottgood7888]

I still believe that Bo Nix is going to be the best QB from this draft, hands down. Mark my words.

[@deaddropholiday]

The Bears would be CRAZY to allow Fields to go to Atlanta. CRAZY! Sure, Caleb's better. But you put Fields behind the #4 offensive line in the competition with Bijan and Kyle Pitts and he's going to win games. Which is a problem. Because Caleb's going to be judged against the guy he's replaced. Like it or not. And I certainly don't trust the Bears to put him into a winning position.

[@alexanderritter1522]

You forgot drake london, but it's also overstated how and rhe bears' oline is and the weapons fields' had. A lot of those sacks fields caused himself

[@TheLordJay]

I think Caleb is a awesome quarterback but the mechanics in the pocket are there

[@itsalmostdry22]

chris simms one of the best out there

[@abdultaylor6571]

Daniels is not as good a runner as A Richardson. 😅

[@KingPolo985]

Lol you must be high. He’s a better runner just not as powerful . Check the stats

[@brandondillman5841]

Daniels is faster, Richardson is more of a Cam Newton type of power runner.

[@jsong21]

Jayden Daniels = RG3 2.0

[@brandondillman5841]

If RG3 could have stayed healthy with the Shanahan's he would have had a great career. Can't predict injury.

[@valiantravonous]

Simms was adamant that Kellen Mond could be a starter in this league. His opinions on the position can be safely discarded.

[@RLZ01]

So every analyst should be 100% right?

[@valiantravonous]

@@RLZ01 You can be a little off. Being *THAT* wrong? Nah bruh.

[@jeffx40]

Well last year every analyst but Simms said Young was a tier above Stroud. But after a year, Stroud is clearly leagues better and only Simms ranked him #1. By your logic you can no longer trust any analyst as they all got it wrong, big time. Simms hits more often on QBs than anyone though. He also had hit on Maholme's, Allen, Herbert and Jackson when other analysts had people like Tua, Darnold, Rosen, etc above them. Also, he had Mond 4th in his rankings that year. If you're gonna cherry pick on his 4th rated QB you literally should trust no analyst ever. The draft is not an exact science or else you'd never have early round Busts and late round stars. That's why you have to go off hit rate. And in that metric, Simms gets QBs right more often than anyone else in the industry.

[@jeoh93]

Florio and his agent spiel…

[@hieuho12345]

I’m curious who the last rated qb on this list is. Because that will be the best quarterback from this class

I’m a huge Chris Sims fan and I usually agree with everything that he says most of the time but this Caleb Williams shit is just absolutely ridiculous they’re acting like he’s the greatest coach football player to ever play and he’s just not at all I mean yeah, he’s got a good arm. I can’t wait to see how he does in the power level because I don’t think it’s gonna switch over as well as people think he is, not gonna go as far as to say he’s gonna be a bus, but I doubt he’s gonna be a top 10 quarterback in his first 2 to 3 years

[@straightfire4367]

I don’t care florio is friggin annoying as hell

[@ldriver-pe7iw]

At least tell the truth Caleb is terrible under pressure .My grandma throws a better Deeo ball holds the ball dosent throw on time run backwards instead of get yards

[@chaboing40]

I’m pretty confident that Simms does as much or more film study than most draft experts. Consequently, he’s been more accurate than most.

[@johnmartin5520]

JJ gonna be good

[@Drew_F1]

Shhhhh Simms I want Daniels to fall to 3

[@brandondillman5841]

Not looking likely. He fits the Commanders offense perfectly with Kingsbury. They've already met with him several times.
