I’m also actually curious as to what scheme Simmons would actually flourish in.
You're biased on Simmons and it clearly shows. Questioning if he would ever play well and if he would ever fit a scheme is over the top. Until and unless VJ stops tinkering with him and making him play five different positions, we're not going to get the best out of him and we'll not know how good he can be.
None of his flaws that were pointed out aren’t scheme specific.
Glad to see the hypocrisy is recognized. Because you shut up pretty totally when the defense and Simmons were playing well. But, hey, admitting you have a problem is the first step. The rest? You're deluded, but it's because he's your blind spot. I understand that and, to a degree, can commiserate.
Well, it’s nice to see you’ll continue to be a huge hypocrite.
I demanded others to eat crow in a "Richard Cranium" move to point out the utter and total hypocrisy of the koolaiders on this board rubbing darksider noses in it week in and week out and then getting all outraged over one--count 'em, one--crow-eating thread going the opposite direction. Worked like a charm.
Damn. Still dodging. Had to refer straight to hyperbole. Sheesh.Right. He's trash and there's no system that'll fit him and he never does anything right. Sooo logical

As far as your take? Maybe we should have taken Wirfs--in hindsight--but the book is certainly not closed on Simmons.
Maybe hearing this from multiple people will stick.
I think Simmons is best used as a TE matchup weapon in coverage. I look at his comps (imo) Kam Chancelor and Thomas Davis and think that using him as a base S (or base over LB) and then a nickel LB is easily the best use for his ability. He can 100% lock up TEs. He has shown that and vs premium TEs this is how you use him.
Why is everyone going after Simmons to begin with? He was probably the Cardinals’ best player on the field yesterday.
Top 10 pick who consistently underperforms, looks lost, and isn't impactful?
I am always amazed when posters try to discredit other posters by labeling their foresight as hindsight. They were literally right from the get go. At this point everyone should just say, “yup, you were right” because they were.
Our entire defensive backfield has been bad the last two games. I can’t think of a single pass defensed by the secondary in the lions game. Doesn’t help that the pass rush has been neutered. I wonder if something has been exposed with our corners. Maybe those concerned at the beginning of the year regarding our corners were on to something . . .
They realized they can’t cover for 15 seconds because Chandler, Golden, Kennard, & others are either too busy playing patty-cake with the OL or weirdly covering a WR downfield.

TO YOU. He was the obvious choice TO YOU. Consensus on draft day is that we got a steal. I'll give you kudos, if I never have, for calling from the get go that you wanted Wirfs. Pretending it was just the obvs pick pre-draft for everybody is, of course, incorrect. As someone pointed out, he wasn't the next gen OT prospect coming out of college. But, fair is fair: you called wanting him and he has turned into a good player.
You’re never far behind lol I respect it.
First, he owned up.
