Just because the NFL\u2019s<\/a> regular season doesn\u2019t begin until September doesn\u2019t mean passionate fans have taken a hiatus from debating controversial lists.<\/p>\n

NBC football analyst Chris Simms is currently in the crosshairs of those fans after the 45-year-old ranked the greatest quarterbacks of all time based only on the primes of their careers.<\/p>\n

To the shock of many fans, Tom Brady<\/a>, the greatest quarterback of all time, was not at the top of that list. Simms ranked Pro Football Hall of Famer Peyton Manning No. 1.<\/p>\n

But Brady wasn\u2019t the No. 2- or No. 3-ranked quarterback either. The New England Patriots<\/a> legend was ranked by Simms as the No. 9 quarterback that he would choose of all time in his prime.<\/p>\n

Here is Simms’ full list.<\/p>\n

Simms was eviscerated in the comment section for his decision to leave Brady so low.<\/p>\n

“Bro, Brady threw for 5,000 yards and 50 TD\u2019s and went 16-0 in his prime and 14 years later he threw for 5,300 yards and 43 touchdowns. His prime lasted a decade and a half and was better than anyone\u2019s peak,” one user wrote.<\/p>\n

The user referenced Brady\u2019s 2007 season, when he helped the lead the Patriots to an undefeated regular season. Brady led the NFL in completion percentage (68.9%), yards (4,806), and touchdowns (50) that season.<\/p>\n

The other season the user referenced was Brady\u2019s penultimate season, his age-44 season, when he led the NFL in yards (5,316) and touchdowns (43).<\/p>\n

Another user wondered if Simms had personal bias toward Brady.<\/p>\n

“What did Tom Brady do to make Chris Simms hate him,” the user posted with a laughing-crying emoji.<\/p>\n

Another user called the list “a joke,” while others used emojis to laugh at the absurdity of Brady\u2019s placement.<\/p>\n

A different fan questioned the criteria for the controversial list.<\/p>\n

“I support anybody that realizes Brady is overrated. That said, what is the criteria for this? Longevity, peak? Eye test? Needs more clarity. No idea how Elway is that high,” the user wrote.<\/p>\n

One X user criticized the list, not because of Brady’s ranking but because of to the exclusion of another Pro Football Hall of Famer.<\/p>\n

“Any all-time list without the great Joe Montana<\/a> is just trash and not to be taken seriously,” the user wrote.<\/p>\n

Simms did have one commenter who agreed with his ranking of Manning over Brady.<\/p>\n

“Peyton Manning is the best quarterback of all-time and I\u2019m tired of people acting like he\u2019s not. Brady wanted to be as good as Manning for the first four years of his career. Brady has said so himself. Manning was absolutely unbelievable with the Colts. Brady is the best player of all-time. His achievements are clearly second to none, but Manning was the better QB,” the user wrote.<\/p>\n

Other fans took issue with the inclusion of Allen and Jackson on the list.<\/p>\n

“Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson over Dan Marino and Tom Brady is so stupid,” one user wrote.<\/p>\n

“OMG what a joke, Lamar and Josh don\u2019t even belong near this list\u2026” another user posted.<\/p>\n

A different user questioned Staubach\u2019s presence on the list.<\/p>\n

“Brady is 1, Montana 2. Jackson and Allen do not belong with this group. Elway should be much lower. Not sure about Staubach belonging here either,” the user wrote.<\/p>\n

Simms played in the NFL for eight seasons and spent one season as a coaching assistant for the Patriots. He played his college football at Texas.<\/p>\n
