Today on Quickslance, the podcast, Chris Sims in the Crosshairs.

We get him up on the stand and make him convince us that he knows what in God's name

he's talking about.

Brady at number nine, Quickslance brings in Sims for a tete-a-tete.

NBC NFL analyst Chris Sims, friend of our program, friend of the entire region, is revealing

his annual quarterback rankings, the top 40, and he has listed Tom Brady quite righteously

in the top third of NFL quarterbacks.

He is ninth.

That despite Brady leading the Patriots to Super Bowl title last season, to three consecutive

Super Bowls, and to two Super Bowl wins in the last three years.

Now, Sims hasn't revealed the entire top ten, but we do know which quarterbacks he has above Brady.

You get you Patrick Mahomes, you're Russell Wilson, you Ben Rafflesberger, you're Andrew Loughke,

of course, you're Deshawn Watson, Aram Rogers, Matt Ryan, Jacoby Brissette and Cam Newton. No, Jacoby Brissette is one of the only ones who's not ahead.

Tom Brady. Chris Sims explained his decision to put Brady at number nine on his pod last week,

the unbuttoned pod. Here it is.

I don't think he can do it as much as he used to. I don't think he moves around the pocket quite as well as he used to,

a la, why were we talking about the last eight weeks of the years?

There's something wrong with Brady?

Why doesn't he be able to move in the pocket as much?

Is his knee hurt?

Is this hurt?

See, all that was going on.
