Chris Simms

Now, I still thought that would be an issue in the NFL, and that's probably still the number one thing that surprises me. Like you saw last night, he has runs where he just breaks tackles. He bounces off people and gets extra yards, let alone he can hang in the pocket and take people hitting on him as he's throwing the ball.

I think those are the things that just made me start to go, wow, after evaluating him.

Well, I think that's the amazing thing. They trust him with everything, right? I mean, that's like he's a rookie quarterback. And, you know, most times when we got into the playoffs, the rookie quarterbacks are getting late in the year. Hey, they're still managing them a little bit. Hey, let's be careful here. Let's not put them in a tough situation. Right.

Let's let's limit some of our play calls and make things simpler. It's the opposite from what history has told us. They're a little bit like, hey, it's a big moment. Let's put it on his shoulders. He'll carry us. He'll do it. And then he plays like this extremely mature brand of football. And I think this is the thing that shocks me more than anything is.

One, one of the advantages he has is he ran this system that Cliff Kingsbury runs in college a little bit. So there's great knowledge of that. But I think it's the fact that Cliff Kingsbury is obviously seeing a guy that he can trust and a guy that can mentally take in a lot of offense to where he could just give them everything and it's just go ahead.

And I think the part that I look at it to where I think, you know, I don't know if Kingsbury saw this in training camp or if he earned this right early in the year, but But how many drives, again, last night, 17 plays, 92-yard drive, right? 10 plays, 66-yard drive. They're kind of a ball control passing offense. They kind of trust him to five yards here, four yards here, five yards here.

Oh, it's fourth and one. Well, maybe we'll run him. Maybe we'll throw it. Maybe he'll scramble. I don't know. But I think that's the thing that I'm more amazed by. Usually young quarterbacks, when they have to go on 10 and 12 and 14 play drives, you know this. They make mistakes. They fumble. They throw a stupid interception. They make a dumb mistake.

They call the game like he's in year seven and he's been doing this for a long time at a high level and they have no fear of all of that. And I think that really pops out to me when I watch them play.
