are you suggesting that playing Simon at corner is the best way to get the best talent on the field?

Logically, yes. The line of logic that you are about to use is worthless. Otherwise, you could argue that we should have Rueben Randall playing on the defense somewhere... since he is so talented. We only need RR when we are on offense, just like we only need TM when we think it's more advantageous to have a 3rd CB than having a 3rd LB (unless we start running a 3-3-5).
