Chris Simms: "JuJu's Injury is Patrick Mahomes Fault"

[Bl00dyBizkitz]

Around the 0:30 and 3:30 mark. This is quite a wild take from Chris Simms, victim blaming Mahomes for throwing to the open receiver.

I literally have never heard Simms say anything that I felt was clickbait. And I listen to his podcast religiously.

And when he saw there was no penalty he didn't hold up on MVS. Luckily it wasn't another full on head shot.

Player safety is the responsibility of the league, not the QB's.

Brady would've complained and got the call

It really is a point that should be being made louder by some.

The fact that he WASN'T flagged only encouraged him to go do it again. By failing to punish, they failed to protect.

It really was just a textbook example of what NOT to do by the officiating crew. You couldn't ask for a better teaching tool.

But they'll circle the wagons around their incompetent crew and somehow the wrong lessons will be learned. Again.

Maybe they should have thrown the flag on Mahomes.

When Tatum played it was legal accepted practice. There's a big difference there.

1. The game had a headhunter on defense in Cisco.
2. QBs do have a responsibility to their receivers. Mahomes said so. Tom Brady would agree, but NFL rule changes have also changed that. See quoted story below.
3. MVS was closer to the sideline, yet Cisco still launched himself to try and injure. Headhunting can happen anywhere.
4. Chris Simms has a point but probably he really just wanted people to pay attention to him and listen.
5. Cisco better watch his back because someone will lay him out like JuJu Smith-Schuster slammed Vontaze Burfict.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has played most of his career in the most pass-friendly era the NFL has every experienced. Rule changes have generally protected quarterbacks and have made it easier for passers to exploit defenses.

While you might think Brady is on board with those changes, you would be wrong. Brady revealed the biggest thing that has changed since he entered the NFL, and it's all about defenses being wrongly punished by the league when offenses make mistakes.

Brady believes a fair amount of defensive penalties are actually due to poor offensive decisions. As Brady explains, when he used to play against Ray Lewis, Brady knew he couldn't throw the ball in the middle of the field without risking his wide receiver. Back then, the wide receiver would take a massive hit and probably be out for the rest of the game. Knowing that, Brady had to adjust the game plan to keep his receivers safe

Today, quarterbacks can risk those throws knowing defensive players will get flagged if they smash a wide receiver. Brady considers those dangerous throws to be offensive mistakes, because they put receivers in bad spots. In Brady's eyes, quarterbacks should be responsible for their receivers. The new rules put receiver safety on defenses, which Brady opposes.

You guys realize mahomes said the same thing that simms did here....

and I take it upon myself too because I’m leading him and throwing him the ball kind of into that hit.

We do. This is part of what makes Mahomes different than I guy like Wilson. Mahomes will take the bullets even when he's not guilty.

CP is slipping with its Brady dislike. You should have said Brady wouldn't even need to complain to get the call.

Looked like a Madden play to be honest other than it wasn't a pick 6 of course
