Bleacher Report: Chris Simms

NFL Power Rankings Week 10 Rank: 27

On the bright side here, Simms does have the Rams ahead of teams like the New York Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers; although neither of those teams are anything to write home about.

Here’s what Simms says about the Rams:

"The Rams left their proud history of offensive football back in St. Louis. All that remains is a wandering group of 11 guys. There’s no cohesion. There’s hardly even a game plan. Case Keenum and Co. went nine drives before scoring. His third-quarter interception was the play that decided a defensive struggle. Jeff Fisher is clear in his decision not to use Jared Goff. But in doing so, he’s wasting a Defensive Player of the Year-caliber season from Aaron Donald—and any playoff hopes his team might harbor in 2016."

Simms, a former NFL quarterback, pretty much nails it here. He doesn’t single out Keenum and rightfully so, this team’s issues are bigger than just the guy behind center.

While it’s nice to see Simms point out Aaron Donald’s sensational season, it’s doubtful Goff can do anything to waste it less given the overall status of the offense.
