Patriots Fans Won’t Like Where Chris Simms Ranked Tom Brady Among Top NFL QBs

Chris Simms ranked Tom Brady among top NFL quarterbacks, and the Patriots nation is more than angry at him.

Pretty much everyone in the NFL knows that Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback of all time. Brady is one of the top-five quarterbacks in the NFL. So, why did Simms made that ranking? He ranked Brady ninth and New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is ranked 10^th.

How is this even possible?

“Much of the Chris Simms Top 40 quarterback countdown has been uneventful,” Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk wrote. “On Thursday, it became rather eventful. We crossed into the top 10, and at the bottom of the best are two guys who arguably are better than where they landed.

“At No. 10: Drew Brees. At No. 9: Tom Brady.

“Yes, the eight guys still left to be ranked (including the likes of Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Ben Roethlisberger, and Andrew Luck) are all great players. But better than Brees and Brady?

“Given that Brees seemed late in the 2018 season to be slipping a bit physically, it’s easier to justify putting him at No. 10. Brady has shown no slippage at all, and he’s only the greatest quarterback of all time.”

The ranking triggered an avalanche of reactions, and Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner was shocked.

Are u kidding me???

“yo Kurt always respect ur opinion,” Simms responded. “This is my list. I work very hard on it. And yes at this point of these two legends career I think they are 9 and 10. The system makes them more than they make the system at this point. It’s not about clicks.

“My opinion is that any of the QBs ranked in front of Brees or Brady would of had the same success if not better if they were playing for saints or pats.

“It’s a team sport. Don’t rank the qb according to team wins or just stats set up by the system or OC. Not every qb gets lucky to have Sean Payton. Belichick or Mcdaniels. Brady and Brees are still awesome.”

Will he get away with this? I don’t think so.
