Chris Simms was a little fired up today about ESPN and their quarterback evaluations. The Bleacher Report analyst went off today on Twitter on ESPN’s track record of QB prospect grades:
Qbs are not falling. Being slotted closer to where they should be. Just cause ESPN said Teddy B was 1st pick in October means nothing

The people who really know are evaluating now. ESPN has to stop shattering young kids dreams!

Kiper said he would quit if Jimmy Clausen was not a good NFL qb. I am waiting………

To be completely fair and transparent, here are Chris’ top 5 QBs this year:
@RedskinsCult59 my top 5 would be Carr, Savage, Mettenberger, Garropolo, Bortles

I’m not going to rip him apart for his evaluations even if I disagree because they are his opinions. He came out pretty strong against ESPN here and some would argue that his evaluations are good either. However, time will tell who is right in this situation.
