Simms has always been horrible and this year it seems like he has had early-onset dementia. I can't remember many specific examples, but there have been so many times when he's babbled about a crazy aside, said something that makes no sense, or seemed totally oblivious to what actually occurred on the field. Like, from last night:

Simms is being far the worst color guy on air. Just absolutely terrible, and his only redeeming quality is when he pisses off Nantz.

Simms doesn't like watching QBs struggle, I can get that. And from what I've seen of the games he's called this season he's been more willing to call out bad ref decisions when he sees them. I give Simms a passing grade this year so far.

You should have heard Simms trip over himself to compliment Brandon Weeden against the Patriots. Not just in the early going but throughout the entire game Simms yammered on about his noble performance.

Weeden fuckin sucks dude

Or when they had that awkward conversation about massages. :wtf:

Someone should take simms out behind the woodshed and put him out of his misery. Also only let drunk people announce, and limit them to one sentence every minute so we mostly just hear crowd noise.

I get that guys don't want to just gratuitously bash players because it's a really hard job but, in making excuses for Kaepernick, Simms (and every other commentator for a Niners game this season) bashes everyone around him. They don't want to say "Kaep sucks" so they say "everyone else sucks", and that's partially true (the whole team is very bad) but is also a very patronizing and annoying way to get out of saying something mean about one particular guy.

I will say nice things without reservations about:

Patriots, Bengals, Packers, Cardinals, Panthers, Falcons, Steelers

I also think these two are pretty good, but with a critical flaw at QB that probably ends up boning them:

Broncos, Jets.

I think these otherwise eh teams are at least moving in the right direction this year:

Vikings, Titans, Raiders.

I would like to posit that all five of the undefeated teams are in fact Good, and every other team is Real Bad including my own. No teams are Decent But Fatally Flawed or Improving But Not There Yet - there is merely Good or Bad, and nothing in between.

Because that's basically the line we've drawn at this point and I doubt that's clearly defined either.

I think there's a lot of other teams that aren't necessarily going to go deep into the playoffs but can give good teams a run for their money, Bills, Chargers, Seahawks, Cowboys once Romo comes back, hell even the Colts

I love me some Philip Rivers, but I think the Chargers roster has a bunch of problems that are holding him back and find myself shaking my head in disappointment when their defense is on the field too often.

They're like a good version of the Saints

This is true! and I mean, every team I listed could be completely derailed by a single injury. I'm just saying, from what I've seen so far, that's what I'm willing to say without any yeah, buts.....

Like the Bills have a fearsome, if currently underutilized defense, and Tyrod Taylor is fun, and they have some pretty sweet offensive weapons. But those weapons are all injured right now, the defense isn't mauling people like a crazy Rex defense should and they commit a Rex Ryan amount of undisciplined penalties.

The Seahawks defense is still good, but that team is just way less fearsome this year because the offensive line has gone from sieve to burst dam, so their offensive continuity sucks.

The Cowboys just somehow need to stay afloat until Romo can come back, who can win some games and when Dez comes back they can hopefully squeeze out every victory to get into the playoffs and be a loving scary matchup. I just have to trust Matt Cassel to get them there...

The Colts are the luckier Cowboys. Luck is injured, but not as badly, and the rest of that division is mega-bad this year, so they probably get in by default, and as long as Luck gets healthy he can hero ball his way... kinda far.

Vikings also qualify here. They need Bridgewater to progress more then he has since his rookie year, but their defense isn't bad, and secondary is pretty solid, and they've got the offensive supporting cast that can do some things if he can progress from like Nick Foles to like Matthew Stafford this year.

Where were we at Week 7 last year? Was Philip Rivers still an MVP candidate?

We know way more now than we knew Week 1, but it's unlikely that all of the obvious division and wildcard winners will keep their momentum until January. I know this because the Bills have had two separate 5–2 starts over the past several years and finished with records of 7–9 and 6–10.

I bet a fraud lives among us, is what I'm saying.
