Chris Simms defends his low ranking of Tom Brady on QB list

Former-quarterback-turned-NFL-analyst Chris Simms found himself in a bit of hot water after he seemingly dissed two future Hall of Fame quarterbacks – and riled up their passionate fanbases in the process. Counting down his top 40 quarterbacks in the NFL heading into the 2019 season, Simms revealed the rankings of Tom Brady and Drew Brees at Nos. 9 and 10, respectively.

As you’d expect, both Patriots and Saints fans were righteously outraged at the slight. New Englanders, in particular, ranted and raved against Simms online, citing Brady’s astonishing records and unattainable achievements at this stage of his decorated career.
