Simms’ reasoning is pretty lame. He doesn’t like Fields’ mechanics—feet and hips specifically—says nobody throws like that in the NFL. Also claims that Fields’ flaws likely can’t be fixed.
OK, but he’s very accurate with plenty of arm, so it’s clearly working for him. Why even mess with it?
Meanwhile, he claims that Lawrence’s mechanical quirks should be no problem to iron out. Fine, but if that’s the case he should be going into greater depth on why.
The other thing that struck me was how he says that he has no problem with “running qb’s”, cites his relatively high ranking of Jackson a couple years back. It just felt like one of those, “I ain’t a homophone, I used to work with a gay guy,” kind of things.
