I mean agree or disagree with the clip of Marcellus Wiley and Emmanuel Acho saying Jimmy was underrated and underappreciated. Those guys at least played the game at the highest level. They weren't quarterbacks but they played with quarterbacks and understand the effect they have on the chemistry of a team, the pulse of a team, the motivation of a team, and the leadership role they either excel at or don't.
RidetheHyde was trying to bring up old Patriots players dogging Jimmy. Okay. One thing I haven't seen is some family member of a player calling out Jimmy on social media like Kareem Hunt's dad did Baker Mayfield. Now, social media brings out the worst in people and maybe Kareem Hunt's dad is a Lavar Ball type loudmouth. I don't know.
But yeah, there's no reason to take almost anything that they say seriously. Plus, as has been established, neither of them are remotely as cute as Kay Adams. She may not be a football expert either but she can say her piece.
I mean Chris Simms played QB in the NFL, he's got the opposite narrative as those guys. It's all hot take and opinions end of the day.
Whatever with what other players say about Jimmy good or bad...he's doing his thing here for as long as he can and we're winning games. We all got our opinions of him, he's polarizing but I would say 99% of us want him to do well.
I don't take Simms that seriously either though personally. I mean I respect that he got there but man did he suck. Plus, and I know it's the Ohio State fan in me and he obviously has growth to do, but he acted like Fields was going to be one of the weakest quarterbacks in the draft. Then one time when I happened to catch him and Florio after Fields flashed in the preseason, Simms was all about starting him over Andy Dalton. Having an opinion is fine and I understand they change, but can we at least try to be consistent? Or at least come out and say, "This guy looks a lot better than I thought he would coming in." Maybe he did say that, I don't know. Like I said I don't spend really any time watching/listening to any of them.
