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

[BlueSanta]

I am a little confused here because I watched Phil on Inside the NFL say the exact opposite of what this article claims he is saying now.

sorry Ro....
Joe Namath not Elite. More picks than TDs....

Well, Joe Namath got into the HoF because of the story behind SB3 and his prediction. I think he's a special case lol.

man rooni's having a field day! I haven't seen him this excited since Tiki threatened to come back in the league. Or when Sehorn was in 'Days of our lives'

haha you are on a roll today

Joe Namath was great. Maybe the purest passer of all time.
Stats are not the sole standard in the NFL. If they were Drew Bledsoe and Vinny Testeverde would be shoe ins for the Hall.

eli has thrown more ints then any qb since his start. but at the same time great comeback wins and 4th qtr play to win sb's. its really hard to define what kind of qb Eli is.

He is a new breed a two faced QB

You really think that our complex scheme has nothing to do with his ints??? Come on man give the guy some damn respect. Ints. are not everything. He just started his prime and already threw for 30,000 yards and by the time this year ends he will have over 200 td's. He is elite. You must be one of those fans that are stuck on Simms and never want someone to succeed over him. What other QB's are putting up the numberd he has?? It's a very few. To me Simms would've been better off saying that he considers Elite one or two players instead of what he said.

Warner said it best, Eli will need that league MVP in todays passing first nfl. guys are putting up numbers and you cant stick them all in the HOF it doesnt work that way.

remember the rules are different than 20 years ago. you will see many qb's achieve 30,000 and 200 td passes. hell, you will see 5,000 a season and 30 plus a year more and more just keep watching.

if you go off eli;s career numbers you see last year he was very good, but other than that no "
elite" stats now if you are going off his 2 min drill comebacks intangibles and sb's i can see that also. But for the most part Simms is correct.

hopefully this lights that fire under eli.

25 pages anyone?

Simms should get more Hall notice and Eli will get into the HoF barring serious injury.

You put Simms in this system, coddle him like this staff has coddled Eli, given him Plaxico Burress, Amani Toomer, Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz (instead of Byron Williams, Lionel Manuel, Ernest Gray and Bobby Johnson) let him play with these rules in the secondary and roughing the QB, and he puts up all time great numbers.
