I'm sorry, is someone citing Chris Simms as being equal to Kurt Warner? A Super Bowl winner and Hall of Famer vs. a JAG who consistently didn't rank Drew Brees in the top half of the league? That Chris Simms?
Shhh...Chris Simms is an expert and he was used because he give in depth, expert analysis of QB. This is how he comes up with is Top 40 list. Speaking about the Top 40 list....
@TribuneUK If you believe Simms and his expert opinion, is Anthony Richardson a bonified starter and is Will Levis a better QB than Jayden Daniels?
That was the point, it was a deliberately perverse comparison. Because despite how we might perceive them stood next to each other, they're still both just media guys. Warner has no more sway in the decision making of NFL franchises than Chris Simms does.
The fact that you believe that Simms and Warner are the same in how they present data shows your problem. I know that you might not look at this because it is too much technical football talk but there is a very distinct different in how they present data and formulate opinions.
And Kurt Warner is fair in all of his evaluations, so he is also critical of bad plays.
Nobody is stating that Warner is swaying NFL franchises. What it exposes is:
-More people talk football than know football
-A lot of decisions aren't made based on what happens on the field
You are probably trying to downplay what Kurt Warner said because it craps all over your "eye test" told you. Imagine holding on to all these things you thought was true and a QB who has held the highest accolades in the sport curb stomps it. Probably won't get a straight answer but we can revisit this thread at the end of the season tho, since he was officially named the full-time starter for the rest of the season.
