Chris Simms played QB in the NFL. He's the son of New York Giants legend Phil Simms. He even threw three touchdown passes in a single game. So he's seen what the highs and lows of playing at the pro level are like. He understands the difference between crappy quarterback plays and good quarterback play. This is why he can't stand Mitch Trubisky haters.
Simms has been one of the voices coming out in strong defense of the young Chicago Bears passer. He feels the kid made big strides last season and was a huge key to their ascent to the top of the NFC North. Yet in spite of all this, there are many who believe he was nothing more than a product of the offensive system employed by head coach Matt Nagy.
When confronted by this claim during a Bleacher Report podcast, Simms didn't hold back in venomous response.
Simms isn't lying in regards to Mitch Trubisky being more effective
Facts are facts. The Bears offense was missing something when Trubisky wasn't there. Chase Daniel held down the fort as best he could, but there were clear limitations as to what he could do. Chicago averaged 24.85 points per games with Trubisky. That dropped to 21.5 under Daniel. That drops to 18 if you factor in the pick-six he threw against the Giants.
Something Trubisky still hasn't done in his career.
There was also a critical mobility factor. Daniel ran for a combined three yards in those two games he started. Trubisky averaged 30.07 per game for the season. So for people to say the offense was no different without Trubisky than with him are people who either didn't watch the games or have a clear agenda in mind.
Simms understands this and isn't afraid to call them out on it. Colorful language or not.
