Phil Simms: "No, Eli Is Not One Of The Elites....."

[bigjeep]

Not if I can help it. I was just about to introduce the Ron Erhardt / Kevin Gilbride angle!

Y.A. vs Chucking Charley!

And what about the all time horrible Sam Huff trade to Washington!

Eli is elite! I also think Simms was a great quarterback. The reason he will not give Eli the credit he deserves is because anyone who was around to watch Phil knows that he did what he wanted to do and cried alot when Parcells kept him in check. I remember those years so well. The year Simms got hurt halfway through the season and Hostetler took them all the way, Simms didn't want the ring. He didn't feel that he earned it ??? I wonder if he treated others like they were beneath him by the way he is ??? Probably also upset that Chris didn't work out the way Eli did.

this is elite

Thanks for posting that. Brings back great memories.

one game....a historical game at that. I love Simms But Elite he is not......

Hence the words "this is elite."

[Roosevelt]

this is the biggest stage. its not 1 td in the fourth qtr its not a duck and chuck heave throw. if you notice his passes hit the numbers not jump balls. that is a real QB. sorry eli is good but this is legend status

This is the thing we've been trying to tell the young guys. Phil was a great passer. If Phil had time his passes were money.

Eli will never be a truly great passer.

Phil wasn't elite IMO, but that was the best single game I have seen any giants QB play.

No doubt.

In today's world they have to label everything Rosie. No one had these kinds of conversations 20 years ago. Who's elite.....Who;s not. Its all vacuous nonsense.
Gone are the days we could just watch players and enjoy. We now have to justify our views with labels.

All because of Michael Kay and Eli!

No doubt.

It could be argued any QB for that matter.

[Roosevelt]

He did win football games.
Most people don't remember that it was Kilmer's fumbles (as a receiver) that Jim Marshall ran the wrong way with.

I never knew that was Kilmer's fumble. Good trivia question.

If you're into that sort of thing like my uncle was.

Simms is probably the best Football analyst since Madden.......Parcells is very good too

Sims is right. This year Eli looks like the Eli before 2011 season. Even if he turns it on. He still had his erratic slump that he has every season save last year.

one thing eli is better at is reading the D and setting up his protection.

The quest for 70 pages is underway....

well , Simms had to watch and call that Bengals game on national tv.
i didn't see anything even closely related to "game manager" let alone elite.

and even though i think Simms ( who isn't elite either) should STFU about ELI ......he is still right.
i just wish he would steer clear of the subject.
