Chris Simms rips Drake Maye, ranks him #6 QB in the draft

Simms — who played in the NFL from 2003 to 2009 — ranked Maye as the No. 6 quarterback in this 2024 NFL Draft class. While USC’s Caleb Williams and Daniels occupied their own two tiers at the top of Simms’ list, he tabbed Oregon’s Bo Nix, Washington’s Michael Penix Jr., and McCarthy in the third tier as “franchise starting” quarterbacks.
During the latest episode of his “Chris Simms Unbuttoned” podcast, Simms gave his reasoning for why he ranked Maye in such a low spot.
“There’s things you watch, and you go, ‘Wow.’ If you watch the highlight package, you go, ‘Woah.’ You watch the highlight package and you go, wow, he looks the part, he’s got the prototypical size, and kinda has the look of a franchise quarterback,” Simms said. … You watch the best games in his career, and yeah, you’ll see a few of those (great) throws, but for every one of those throws, there’s five of, like, what the hell is that throw?
“There’s no way evaluators, coaches are going to be able to get behind, like, right now, Drake Maye and go ‘Oh yeah, he’s ready to go, he should be the No. 2 or No. 3 pick in the draft.’ No way! There are too many things about his game that need to be polished, better, improved.”
Simms added: “I think there’s potential here. That’s where it’s tough. There are some things where I go, yes, but I don’t think it’s anywhere near right around the corner. This would be like, hey, he needs to sit on the bench a little bit and needs to work on some real mechanical issues that he has.
“Going through reads, I don’t think he’s in the same class as the guys we talked about, and I mean all of them. I think they all go through it and do it quicker. In the pocket, he’s the worst in the pocket. The worst.”

I just don’t get the hype. It reminds me of all the hype Malik Willis got prior to the draft.

Maye living off his incredible freshman season but didnt improve much after that.

Likes Bo Nix, yeah I'll take his opinion with a grain of salt.

QBs go in the top 10 based on potential all the time.
Anthony Richardson (4)
Zach Wilson (2)
Trey Lance (3)
Daniel Jones (6)
Sam Darnold (2)
Josh Rosen (10)
Mitchell Trubisky (2)
Blake Bortles (3)
Maye’s potential is through the roof.

He definitely had a down year with a new offensive coordinator. Longo’s offense was much easier for him to execute. Like with most draft QBs, being drafted to a good situation with a solid team around you makes a huge difference. I don’t think Mahomes would have had nearly the same career if he got drafted by Cleveland as opposed to Kansas City

Understanding the game was always Chris Sims’ biggest problem.

Chris Simms also said Tom Brady was a second tier NFL QB and then he went on to win 4 more SBs and appear in 5...

This makes me actually like him now. Chris Simms is an all time bullhurt pussy that never owns up to his shitty takes.
Rooting for Drake Maye now.

Simms didn’t rip him as bad as Major Applewhite ripped him at Texas lol

Drake Maye was a can't miss coming out of high school. Was supposed to go to Bama, but went the legacy route at Carolina.
Overall, I don't believe he warrants the hype he is getting for the draft. Carolina really didn't do much while he was there.

Someone do the spidermen pointing meme with Drake Maye, Mitchell Trubisky, and Sam Howell.

Looking for clicks…… how many games did he even start.

Dude has Bo Pix ranked #3. His opinion is irrelevant.

if you are seriously putting Maye over Nix, then you really, really have no credibility, whatsoever....
Simms has always been a try hard, unlikable asshat... this just really is more evidence of the try hard part, for sure

I remember Chris Simms crowning Zach Wilson. Comparing him to Mahomes and all. Guy is a clown
