But that's the thing.

I never perceived him as a Jaguars basher before.  I'm generally cognizant of anti Jaguars bias, but Simms never displayed those signs in my eyes, unless there are some articles/comments I missed.

If I had, the article would still be quite stupid...but at least it would be expected.

The Jaguars had plenty of opportunity to do what Simms asserts long ago.

The Jaguars could have taken Danny Wuerffel.

We could have hired Steve Spurrier.

We could have drafted Tim Tebow.

You can say what you will about our history of drafting, especially at QB. 

But the team has never capitulated to those other motives when picking players. 

Why assert this now, after all this time?

....Because NBC/Peacock doesn't have one of those taekmonger types on the payroll, and he volunteered to deliver the schtick? Cripes, look at how long doofi like Cowherd, Bayless, Screamin' A, and the like have remained employed and well compensated for playing the heel on their respective networks. If enough people pay attention to this shill, I can guarantee the network will find a way to get him a show or make him a regular on their broadcasts.
