Chris Simms on Kmet's potential

Chris Simms thinks very highly of Cole Kmet:

Why Bears TE Cole Kmet's potential reminds Chris Simms of Rob Gronkowski

Cole Kmet’s draft night was incredibly special for him and his family, as Ryan Pace brought the Arlington Heights native back home to play for his beloved Bears. Pace, of course, is hoping that Kmet can be part of the solution to the troubled tight end position, which has been a...

Snippet from article:
"Simms isn’t making a flippant comparison, either; he knows the former Irish tight end better than most due to his work as an analyst for Notre Dame football on NBC over the last two years, and local product from St. Viator stood out for all the right reasons.

“He’s one of the more impressive players, in general, that I’ve seen on the field, whether it was on Notre Dame or one of their opponents, in college football. To be that size, 6’5”, 260 pounds, and be able to move the way he moves, there are not a lot of people on Planet Earth that are that gifted and athletic."

Well, boys, Kmet is a confirmed bust now:

Are you sure that quote isn't Ryan Pace lauding his Adam Shaheen pick?

Simms is the new Jason LaCantconfirmora. And can any football analyst put in a little effort and do something other than label every white TE hopeful as the next Gronk?

No.

So we have to pick a new nickname. Baby Gronk is still on the team.

So Gronk 3.0?

I actually forgot about the new nickname: It's Cold Cement.

Cold Cement until proven otherwise!

Baby Gronk 2.0, part deux , revisited

Baby baby gronk

 

[Ditka19861]

People will be referring to Gronk as a poor man’s Kmet by the end of his career

Man, some of you and the negativity you spew on a daily basis. Give the kid a chance and let him play before making radical comments about who he is or is not.

 

[Probie2429]

No comparison between Shaheen and Kmet. Kmet played at a high level at Division I. Graham will be a good mentor as well.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Pace needs production from Kmet. I'm assuming his rookie year will be underwhelming as most rookie TE's don't produce right off the bat and Jimmy will get a lot of looks.

 

[Bearcub13]

Kmet will only have a good year if the Bears offensive brain trust gets the visor out of his ass. If the new speed wide outs, running backs and tight ends are all successful components of a varied offense, then Kmet will have some room to be successful. If it goes like last year Kmet will have a lot of 4 yard receptions.

However long the season is, I would chalk him up to average 3 catches a game. Kmet has every-down ability and I think he'll come into camp ready to take reps away from the rest of the position group

 

[Noonthirtyjoe]

I'm very excited about kmet. I think he will be good right away and a top all around te for a long time. He is a real te and not just a wr at te. He will be the starter by week 8.

You better get used to it. The same idiots in here with the same shit they spew every day.

 

[Menchifus]

30 rec, 300 yards, 4 TDs. He will be used alot as an in-line blocker while Graham goes out on routes.

Next season is when he'll break out with close to 1k yards.

There is literally no negative comments about Kmet in this thread, closest thing is halftime's unflattering nickname. The criticism is of hacks like Simms lazy comparison or calling him a super star. Reminds me of the Grossman/Favre comparisons after his fast 4 game start to 2006. LTFOL

I know, right? Simms gives the kiss of death. Fortunately, he's just finding a fluff story with no real player news in this offseason.

Best part of that article was Pace finding 2 1st rounders in round 2. We may be better off without a 1st, LOL.
