Phil Simms thinks Luck is way over hyped because his son has no spleen.

Before the Phil Simms interview on 610am they had a caller from Charlotte who claimed that he was friends with someone on the team who told him that Andrew Luck was declaring he was going to stay in school today. The guy could have been full of B.S. and hopefully so, but there is a kicker on Stanford that went to Charlotte Country Day.

Phil Simms showing off his prowess on evaluating young QBs. Check out his comments about Philip Rivers in 2005. This article was evaluating whether the Dolphins should trade for Rivers or not.

"If your looking for a down-the-field thrower, he is not the guy," former NFL quarterback Phil Simms said. "There are plenty of offenses that he could fit into, but it depends on what you're going to do."

And since Dolphins offensive coordinator Scott Linehan has an affinity for deep passes, Simms doesn't see a proper fit.

Simms isn't particularly impressed by Rivers' ability, either — even if the quarterback finished his career at N.C. State ranked second among passers in NCAA history. That's because Rivers is not particularly fast — he ran a 5.08 in the 40-yard dash before the draft — and he lacks a consistent deep ball.

"He's not the playmaker," said Simms, who suggested the Dolphins would be better off convincing Notre Dame junior quarterback Brady Quinn to enter the draft. "But the market for Philip Rivers will be driven up by hype, by people who say the Chargers' best quarterback is sitting on the bench. That's a very easy thing to say when there's no proof of it otherwise."

Did he sound credible?

I'm sure J.R. saying he wasn't optimistic their would be a CBA deal may sway him back to College.
