Summary

Chris Simms—drafted by Tampa Bay to play quarterback for Jon Gruden’s Bucs in 2003–on what Oakland quarterback Derek Carr is in for if Gruden takes the Raider coaching job, on what kind of coach he would be after nine years out of coaching, on what he would say to a Raiders’ player about what Gruden will be like as coach, and on the toughest race for MVP he can recall. Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel Packers beat man Tom Silverstein on the departure of GM Ted Thompson, on the consequences of naming his successor, on how Thompson should be remembered by Packer fans, and on the enormity of this offseason for the franchise.

0:03.0	Welcome to the MMQB podcast with Peter King,
0:07.0	where I take you inside the minds of the biggest influencers in the NFL.
0:12.0	This week, conversations with... in the NFL.
0:13.1	This week, conversations with Chris Sims, a former quarterback for John Gruden.
