John Simpson's failures make a Carson Vinson experiment increasingly necessary
Usually, when you’re paying a guard $10 million per year, you’re starting him. The Baltimore Ravens might want to think about benching John Simpson, though. The 29-year-old has been absolutely horrible — there has to be a better plan.
