Chris Simms' Controversial QB Rankings: Fields and Jones Ranked Low, Mayfield at 24th.

Chris Simms has ranked Justin Fields as the 23rd best quarterback in the NFL, the same spot he held last year. Simms criticized Fields' inconsistent throwing and "elbowy" mechanics, but praised his rushing ability. Fields falls in Simms' "S–t or get off the pot" tier of quarterbacks who need to prove themselves this year. The Bears have added talent to their offense, and Fields is working on improving his footwork and progressions. Simms' rankings have been off in the past, and his criticism of Fields' confidence and leadership has been disputed.
