The Bill Simmons Podcast
Part 2: Eagles/C-Words Reax, Drake Maye Fever, the RB Boom and Million Dollar Picks With Joe House and Nate Tice

I'm talking about both sides of my mouth. He is excelling when he does it. But it's just... They haven't really faced the toughest slate of defenses that have forced them to do it. They faced the Steelers who really took it to them. And you could see them just not be comfortable.

That's another one. And also my little short list I got. I'm talking a little Eagles in that too. But the thing was, I thought Daniels was a half tier below those guys. And I would say now him and Caleb are more closer for me than I would give him credit for. I'm still worried about the skinniness. He has done a phenomenal job of avoiding hits. He is so, so fast. Like he is incredibly fast.

But the thing is, you know, It's a long season. You know, you just take a couple of wrong hits, a couple of big blows. Those start to stack up, you know, body blows start to stack up. So I'd still though, I think I still would have them one, two, three like that. But Daniels would be a true number three or more of a two B, two A kind of thing.

Absolutely. And that's another thing why Daniel's a little bit lower. Like his two red alerts, and I would say red alerts, but I guess I was about to say red flags, but two kind of red flags there were age, skinniness, throwing over the middle, and the hits that he took. He seems to be able to mitigate throwing over the middle. You can do that if you win other ways.

He wins with acceleration and speed, But the thing is, again, what else are we tapping into? This is exactly how he played in college. Yeah. And it was good in college. He won the frickin Heisman. But again, this does matter because he was an older prospect. Bo Nix is a super old prospect. Bo Nix was as old as the oldest quarterback since Brandon Whedon drafted in the first round.

You know, that absolutely matters. Drake May was in true air raid offenses that had no detail and no structure. That's why I was bullish on. Yeah. was that, okay, we haven't even tapped into what he's actually good, what he could actually become. Caleb Williams in kind of a Lincoln-Riley offense, that takes adjustment to the NFL.

I just thought that he had some, and I still do, I think he's actually pretty advanced mentally, but that I thought he would actually transition a little better. But even for me, I was like, oh, maybe I was a little ahead of myself there. But yeah, they're going to have more of a learning curve, especially than a guy that's 24 who has maybe seen 20 more games. Those reps add up.
