[@yugenfocus]

To be clear, Simms isnt saying Drake Maye is not GOING to be an elite quarterback, hes saying that he will need a year or two to polish up his rough edges in order to take advamtage of his huge upside. This is real-time self scouting after his Zach Wilson pick three years ago. Hes clearly seeing the value in NFL-readiness over pure raw talent. Even with pure raw talent, Maye is imo the 3rd quarterback upside-wise in the draft behind Caleb and Jayden

[@Craighomoffman]

Zach's pro day sucked compared to Drake's. He has 10 bad passes vs Drake's 2.

[@yugenfocus]

@@Craighomoffman either you didn't watch this entire video or you just have no clue what you're watching cause Simms still raves about Zach's pro day (piss missile after piss missle) vs Drake's pro day which was very shaky to start and conservative to finish

[@yugenfocus]

also to add on to that, 2 incompletions doesn't tell the whole story. The intention behind the pro day throws, vs the actual execution of said throws were very inconsistent still with Maye, as well as his mechanics. All of which was covered in this video

[@wasssuuuppp]

QB 6 is wild man

[@yugenfocus]

@@wasssuuuppp sure 6th place is wild but Simms says in his QB rankings pod that Maye is worthy of a 1st round pick or 2nd round pick. It's just that Drake would need to have a Jordan Love type of first couple years in order to jump on his potential. While in comparison, the other 5 quarterbacks he argues that they can play and contribute now, without having to be developed like Maye. Plus remember that him being 6th doesn't mean he's a bad prospect, but is simply a result of the other 5 QB's being THAT good

[@6thSenseTraining]

I still think Penix is #2. He is better than Daniels and JJMC. His game adapts the most to the NFL, pocket passer, quick delivery, maturity.

[@jesusthemezziuggh]

🤦🏽‍♂️ check spelling lol

Penix jr also smooth out his shoulder jerking passing stroke at pro day! So he's coachable to get better.

[@mrswerveon]

Talent means nothing when you missing WIDE OPEN receivers. You throwing it into the 1st row of the stands on fades constantly. That has nothing to do with the talent you playing with but everything to do with you being very inaccurate. If you do research you would understand why he transferred. The whole program was in shambles, never mind his grandparents passed away. He transferred into a harder conference. But I guess that means nothing. He faced tougher defenses.

Seems like Simms likes to pick a hot take every year to generate interest. So take this with a grain of salt. However, much of what he says about Maye is corroborated by others like Kurt Warner, who isn't interested in creating hot takes. I do find it interesting that former NFL quarterbacks (with the exception of Tim Hasselbeck) generally seem to have a very different take on Maye than former NFL scouts/GMs. I think it goes to show what a crap shoot talent evaluation can be and how players, coaches and personnel-types all seem to value different attributes.

[@RPM25]

Sims is also the guy that Wilson is clearly the best QB of his draft

[@larrylindgren9484]

You watch college tape. You go on that. Doesn't mean he'll turn out. It's always easy to tell the future after it happens. Wilson failed in NY. It's a hard place to play. Some guys just can't do it.

I watched a video of a quarterback maybe a couple months ago. He could absolutely drill it. He was standing on a large ball, throwing with all arm, 40 yards like a dart. Thing is he is a junior high quarterback. I s-t you not. That kid has a way better arm than Drake Maye. But there are many high school QBs with better arms. Now Drake can throw a nice deep ball but he can’t drill the deep out and that is telling. When Drake throws to me it looks like his arm is moving in slow motion. It’s actually quite distracting and it makes me somewhat nauseous. But I’m not really sure why Drake is projected so high. He’s not fit to shine Jayden’s very big shoes. (Now Jayden has a really quick release and strong arm, and could take a squirrel out of a tree from 65 yards. So Jayden is “special” as Simms might say.)

Usually that won't happen and I would feel better if it was on both feet, but if one gets retorn that's really something that I would caution and really think about how that affects his future.

[@bollweevil8112]

Often NFL QBs have worse throwing mechanics than your average college baseball player

[@stephenmartin6430]

For Qb analysis, I like Chris and Kurt Warner! I'm starting to like JJ McCarthy for the Pats at 3

[@larrylindgren9484]

If you want the lowest ceiling in the draft take him. He'll probably play 15 years but never really be anything. He has Jimmy G written all over him. Jimmy G will be a backup somewhere forever in the NFL.

[@chuckchuckerson5364]

You said dont judge people based on what they were doing when they were 18, or 19... What about 20, or 21? Like Maye...

[@charleslongwell645]

I hope every GM that is in front of the Giants right now agrees with everything Chris has said about Drake Maye so he falls to the Giants at 6 I think Daboll, Kafka and Tierney will develop him in to a stud QB. The reason those guys were brought in is they are QB gurus that have helped to develop 2 of the best QBs in the league. So I am would be estatic about the Giants are able to draft Drake Maye he would sit in 2024 and take over in 2025.

[@MLee611]

Like they did with Daniel Jones, right? New York would be the end of him.

[@charleslongwell645]

@MLee611 Jones best season of his career came with Daboll and company a special teams failure week 1 lost him his LT and LG to injury after 1 series after which the Dallas Defense just beat him down 10 sacks he played the rest of a very tough schedule against some top defenses with a G in Josh Ezudu who was never a good pass protector at LT he also had an injuried Waller playing sparingly and Wan'Dale the 1 WR the Giants have that can win early in their route was out injured until after Week 6 Jones was sacked on average 6 times a game in the first 5 games of the season the Eagles who finished with the most sacks in the league in 2023 with one of the highest season sack totals ever in the NFL averaged just 4 sacks a game the Giants O lone was so bad it made every defense they played the best rushing defense in the NFL the 1 weapon Jones had was Saquon who went out after week 2 any QB would have looked bad against the 49ers, Seahawks and Miami with no O line protection and no weapons to help move the ball against playoff caliber teams

[@msp5138]

When you say 6, You mean 6th round, right...

[@alfgwahigain5544]

It's moronic to look back at past drafts and act shocked that QB A was taken before QB B and too many fans do that. We all can look like geniuses with hindsight. Also, these QBs aren't drafted into a vacuum - where they go matters. Will the team help them develop (remember Gace admitting he did nothing to develop Darnold)? Will the OC play to the QB's strengths, or try to shoehorn him into his "genius" offensive system? Does the team have good weapons around him? How is the OL? Is there a run game to help ease some of the pressure? Is the D any good, or will they need to score 30 a game to be competitive? Every draft pick has potential, but not every team is capable of helping them reach that potential.

[@godschild6511]

I've been telling people the Vikings are gonna stay put. They will draft penix at 11 and a defensive player at 23. Watch

[@kyllerkill]

If they draft penix they would be the biggest losers of the draft. He will not finish a single season healthy. Lucky to have 3 seasons total before being out of the league. They do not want to waste that pick.

[@roshan2865]

@@kyllerkillhe has been healthy for 2 straight years so him getting injured isn’t a guarantee. Everyone thought AR13 would be able to handle the hits and he lasted only 3 games

[@vikinglobo2415]

I wouldn't be mad if they did.

[@brandonwilson4740]

​@@kyllerkillhe plays qb dude. Why you acting like he's a cb? Players get injured all the time and are usually fine. Its not 1985.

[@HansWick]

I would prefer penix Jr over moving up for mccarthy or maye, especially if we keep Jefferson, that's a killer combo

[@JesseGMan7]

They’re trying to lower his stock to make him a Giant? I’m for it. I want Odunze but I’ll take Maye for sure.

[@lockedonlaw]

No one drafting in the top ten has time to let Drake Maye hold a clipboard for a year or more. That is as good a reason as any other for him not to be ranked higher than someone who can step in game one of this season. Not one analyst who has played the game thinks Drake Maye is ready to start this season, not even the ones who have him ranked #2 behind Caleb Williams.

[@vikinglobo2415]

The Vikings could trade up. That would be perfect for him.

[@anthonyc3306]

No way Maye should go in the first round.

[@racebannon8569]

These clowns in the media are laughable.

[@buddysteele7624]

Ahmed does nothing but ruin good vibes

[@kyllerkill]

Daniel’s is rail thin and going to be an injury machine. Also he plays a lot of playground ball like Williams. I think they both have bust written all over them.

QB is all about brains......

[@brettsietsma6594]

Blake Bortles had three different seasons that had more production than Chris Simms' entire career.............what a joke

[@adegbolaadenusi2428]

What does Simms have against projected #3 overall picks? Last year Will Anderson, this year Drake Maye. He just doesn't like the number 3.

[@chrisyager882]

Clearly, some member of the Maye family pissed in Simms' Wheaties. He only missed like 3 or 4 passes and the rest were on point. He also had the awareness to retry his missed passes, concentrate on his mechanics and throw it just fine. He threw more passes than QBs usually do and worked at a fast pace. Everyone knows Maye has great arm talent and left college in big time throws. But Simms criticizes him some passes having too much arc? Josh Allen had bad film and the same mechanical problems. Simms LOVED Josh Allen but HATES Drake Maye. The inconsistency is maddening.

[@RK-um9tu]

Wow. He only missed 3 or 4 passes to guys who weren't begin covered. Guess it's time to pull out the Yellow Jacket and sent him straight to Canton.

[@chrisyager882]

@@RK-um9tu Hey dumb dumb, Jayden Daniels missed the same number of passes during his pro day. He getting the same criticism? Nope.

[@larrylindgren9484]

The point was after that he was being careful not to miss more. He wasn't really throwing it. That's Simm's point. Penix let every throw fly. Watching the two are night and day throwing the ball. Penix made him look like a freshman in high school.

[@pithello]

I'm seeing mock drafts with Drake Maye going 1st and I'm just ... speechless.

[@vitor2650]

Love Simms’ comments because I want Drake to drop to #3. He’s 21 years old yet he’s difficult to fix?

[@msp5138]

When you say #3, You mean 3rd round, right...

[@lnproductions3159]

Simms is still angry because he had to carry Brady’s pads after every practice.

[@robstaniforth7175]

Watch his QB pre draft videos each year then you will see he is just a pot head

[@SwivelHippie]

How does Simms explain the countless number of GMs and Coaches literally drooling all over the field at Mayes pro day? Are they all bluffing?

[@skylimitkt]

Penix 13 to the Raiders
