Simms is right on the money re the competition

Except he's wrong on facts...

Simms cites Darnold as knowing the offense better, when in truth the only advantage Darnold has is the two weeks from OTAs. That's not enough to gain any serious leverage.

And while Simms may indeed be a "professional quarterback", there are plenty of other professional football people who disagree.

The literal point of these shows is to argue different positions.   Whether they always believe them or not. 

and yeah, it basically is Simms acknowledging  what everyone else knows.  Baker is better and should start.  Forced to argue the counter point of why he doesn’t have the job right now.   

Baker not being elite is also irrelevant.  He should be given the job because he is clearly better.  A high end backup is better than Sam. An average starter is a no brainer over Sam.

This facade will be over with soon enough.  Camp reps don't bother me as much as, obviously, a bunch other people.  The cream is rising to the top day by day.  A good performance on Saturday and then put a bowtie on it during patriots week and call it a day.

I bet they hardly play if at all this weekend.  

he will probably say he didn’t want to put them out there with all second string.   Because who wants the actual starting lineup playing through a fake competition for 2 different QBs in the first preseason game.

No, he has all the weeks since OTAs.

Would Darnold not have had the playbook that whole time though? He participated in OTAs and had over a month head start on studying the playbook. I'd say he should've had a leg up on knowing the offense better. And whether that's the case or not, those aren't "facts" that Simms can be wrong on. It's subjective and none of us have any idea how well either of those guys know the offense.

I bet both qbs play this weekend and let's see how they do. I can't imagine we won't play Baker and Darnold given the supposed competition.

that’s means you have to play the starters the entire time Sam and Baker would be competing? Who wants that?  It would double up the time you play our starters in a meaningless preseason game 1.    It’s not a comp if one is with the 1s and one is with the 2s the next series.
