Bucks Had No Choice with Coach Bud + NBC Sports/Pro Football Talk NFL analyst Chris Simms

Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a quick thought on the Milwaukee Bucks' decision to offer head coach Mike Budenholzer a 3-year contract extension. While most folks on NBA Twitter took Milwaukee to task for paying to keep a coach that they were on the verge of firing before Kyrie Irving and James Harden got hurt in the Brooklyn series, the reality is that the Bucks did ultimately win the title and it would have been bad business not to extend him after that. They were really stuck between a rock and a hard place. Later, NBC Sports NFL analyst and Pro Football Talk co-host Chris Simms swings by to discuss the inexact science that is quarterback evaluation, why he's confident that Josh Allen can be even better moving forward, why he was one of the few analysts who were so high on Patrick Mahomes coming out of Texas Tech, why he's optimistic that Sam Darold is going to be able to turn his career around with the Carolina Panthers, why he ranks Tom Brady as the 10th best quarterback entering the 2021-22 NFL season, how Brady has benefitted from great schemes, coaching and overall talent around him throughout his career, the Jameis Winston-Taysom Hill quarterback battle in New Orleans, why the San Francisco 49ers are hesitant to name rookie Trey Lance as their starting quarterback, and much more!
