I think Simmons was dreadful down the stretch compared to early in the season.

I don't think he was dreadful. I think he definitely got better as the season went on, but as he got more snaps it gave us more opportunities to see him being generally underwhelming for the #8 pick. So I can see you could get that impression.

There's a decent video here that breaks down some of his play as the season develops. He did do some better things. His instincts are still all over the place and he was a bit "deer in the headlights" sometimes.

Rookie minicamp started today and Collins is already the starter unquestionably?

Keim and Kliff has come to conclusion that first rounders will start in game 1. If so what is the basis for this decision?

You know what they say about the more things you change......

The fact that Hicks sucks balls is reason enough.

Hicks being bad is not a reason to announce Collins as the starter before rookie minicamp starts. Predisposed decisions lack logic and comes back to bite. Hope I am wrong.

I mean, if you call us saying we will lose to the Rams second string QB and then we lose to the second string QB “an opinion,” sure.

For real. As underwhelming as Simmons was at times, he was still better than Hicks and Campbell.

Those guys were hot garbage. Stinky hot garbage. Joe Walker bad. I can't believe people are handwringing over this topic. I'm excited that Hicks might get moved. He was awful.

To be fair they haven't announced him outright as the starter. The general tone has been the expect him to be. He still has to earn it. They just expect him to earn it.

Simmons was dreadful early in the season. Jack of all trades, master of none.

Campbell played well for the first part of the season. I think the team waited too long to get Simmons in however. That's on Vance. He is the D Coordinator.

You realize he basically played one game the first part of the season?
