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.

Simms' click bait hot take = successful campaign for PFT.

It was JuJu’s fault. You should have seen the way he was dressed. He was asking for it
Wait, I may have this confused with something else.

Yup obvious click bait. No one can argue this either. It's pathetic...

He was taunting Cisco with the Thong Song

Def not click bait. It was a mild comment in a conversation that had nothing to do with Mahomes.

If you heard the conversation and podcast in its entirety there's no way you could come to the conclusion that it was some designed click bait.

The 2nd hit was clearly him trying to blow MVS apart and giving no ****s as to how he went about doing it. It just so happened that MVS was high enough that Cisco's point of impact was below his shoulder and thus he didn't get into his head.

But both of them were plays where he was launching himself up at contact. And the NFL's entire purpose in taking 'malice' out of the equation when discussing these penalties was to get guys to stop doing that shit. The league made it clear that they don't CARE if you intend to injure the guy - just don't do the things that make that injury more likely, chief among them is launching yourself up towards the head/shoulder area.

There's a reason the rule was written like it was. The league doesn't want that kind of tackle in the game.

And yet Cisco got away with two of them.

They'll be watching him closely.

I mean… I hate the juju hit but the Mvs is something else and it’s the one people are apologizing most for.

I don’t know that I’ve even seen a guy leap off his feet, shoulders squared sideways to truck a jumping receiver. He doesn’t use his arms to breakaway down a pass. He doesn’t hit him hard using his arms. He tucks his arms in and LEAPS in the air like a battering ram. You’re absolutely right that if Mvs mistimes his jump or doesn’t jump to his highest that would have been a very serious injury. It’s interesting that Mvs jumping high (which makes him way more defenseless) is being used to justify the hit.

I also pointed out in another thread that he tried to truck kelce. But kelce not only spins his way out of it, you can also see Cisco get cold feet realizing he would bounce right the **** off him.

Again, we know Mahomes' personality. What else was he going to say?

Yes, that's what being a runner means. But he was flagged on that since he went crown first into the hit.

You gotta watch more football. It happens every week.

Here's Justin Reid doing it to Tyreek in our playoff game against the Texans. Cisco did get a couple more inches off the ground though. But same concept on the hit

Good joke but actually what JuJu was wearing may have contributed to his concussion.

JuJu wears a Schutt Air XP Q11. In looking at it, it is round shape with a circle of round air holes in the top. It is an approved helmet, but it rates 15th on the safety performance list. There are several pros that wear this helmet including Aaron Rodgers. It is popular with several of the older players. It looks more like one of the old-style helmets but is still approved.

Last year Travis Kelce wore that helmet but has made a switch to the Schutt F7 which has a little better rating.

Patrick Mahomes was wearing the Vicis 01 but may have switched to the Vicis 02 which has an even better rating.

Can't put any blame on Mahomes. If it was years ago when hitting WR's hard was legal then yes, but he has never played in a era where big hits are legal so he doesn't worry about it(correctly)

[SuperBowl4]

It's called football. Hits gonna happen.
