Yes, but it ended ugly between him and Gmen.

Whose fault was that?

Can someone please explain to me how a player can be elite one moment and a few bad games he's not?
A few poor games should not change the fact that Eli is elite in this league. You don't put the numbers up and multiple championship mvp's by being average.

Phil threw for 4000 yards before Bavaro was on the team. His top pass catcher had 48 catches that season.
And no insult but Eli doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to have played for Parcells back then. Takes a unique guy to deal with Bill.

Tony Romo dealt with Bill. LOL. Just giving you a hard time

Should rename this thread the Eli cultists vs the Simms cultists.

Started that season 10-0.

Yup, and was the backup the next year. He was pissed.

Ray Handley's

It works both ways. If Eli had that defense with the greatest defensive player of all time, that running/play action game, HOF coach in Bill P. and possibly the greatest coach of all time in Bill B., do you really think Eli wouldn't possibly equal or exceed what Phil did? Eli has shown he probably could have taken the hits QB's did then. Maybe Phil wouldn't have been so accurate in this receiver option route offense and maybe Eli would be more accurate in the receiver single route offense Phil played behind.

ill tell you eli wouldnt have gotten more than 15 starts with Parcells he would have benched him. Parcells was a tough cookie. You didnt get that long to prove yourself back then.

+1. You either think he's elite or you don't. You can't become un-elite, that doesn't make any sense.

Your last sentence is debatable, but in terms of him being elite one week,and not being elite the next is stupid.
