In all honesty, In 4 to 5 years I think Simms will be the best QB in this draft. Look at his numbers the last 3 years and keep in mind he had to play the likes of OK, AM, K. ST defenses which Palmer never had to. Simms has been at worse a good QB for the last 3 years while Palmer only had one good year. I'm just not convinced that having one good year makes you a good player and the NO. 1 pick in the draft.
There has never ever ever been a college player in the spot light like Simms has been in. He has been under more pressure then any college player in the history of college football yet he still managed to stay composed and perform week in and week out. Can you think of anyone that couldn't beat there rival and it being so publisized like Simms and Oklahoma. Simms was the QB for those games but he wasn't responsible for them losing those games. Coach Brown was definately out coached by Swoopes and co.
Like others have said, going to TB and being under the wing of Gruden was a blessing and someday in the near future, Simms will have the last word on this draft.
