Simms joins the Under Center crew of Ken Davis, Eric Strobel, and Alex Shapiro to discuss why he's lower than most on Fields, what he wants to see the Ohio State product improve mechanically, and how he expects the Bears to handle their new quarterback this season.(3:00) - Why is Justin Fields the 39th-best quarterback in the NFL?(10:00) - Fields has said he's patterning his game after Russell Wilson; does he have the potential to be that good?(15:45) - What are the differences between college and the NFL that Fields will have to get used to?(25:00) - Does Ryan Pace have more time to fix the Bears after drafting Fields?(30:20) - Will Aaron Rodgers be a Green Bay Packer this year?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
