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

[RoanokeFan]

Isn't it?

Like Leap Year

Who is "they".
The only thing that happened there is that the injury was misreported by Mortenson.

On the “Americas Game” video that covers that year, Eli Manning speaks about the doctor telling him he needed to sit for a month and that he said he wouldn’t because he wasn’t going to miss any games.

Its really not. Passing the ball requires feel. I suppose you could play with a broken pinky but you would suck because you would have no control of the ball as it left your hand. Not a matter of being tough or not, just a matter of the mechanics of throwing a football.

A shoulder injury also has to do with messing up the mechanics of throwing a football.

you are on some serious drugs people. Simms would tear this league up in todays pass friendly rules and pure speed talent at the WR position. He was very accurate and played well even at home during nov/dec , i know a QB that cant say that.

If Eli Manning had played back then on that NY Giants team with the offensive line, running game and defense we had, he would have won 3-4 SuperBowls. Also, Eli Manning would never leave the sidelines of a SuperBowl his team was playing in because he felt “in the way” and was upset that Jeff Hosstettler was out there. I know a QB that did do that.

"No, he is not one of the elites," Simms said in quotes distributed by CBS. "Because when I hear the word elite, I'm thinking about guys that can make unbelievable plays on the field by themselves. There are very few quarterbacks in that category.

"So yes, Eli has been a tremendous team player. He has been MVP of the Super Bowl twice. I know that. But the way I look at it, the answer is no."

Here we go again.....

so Simms thinks hes a HOFer but not elite....

that makes complete sense

Okay. But all I was saying is that Phil didn't worry about getting hit after a pass, while Eli does. Nothing wrong with that, and I did praise Eli because he's never missed a game.

And I'm not questioning Eli's toughness. He may not look tough but he obviously is tough.

So perhaps Simms doesn't mind getting hit. Perhaps Eli also doesn't mind getting smashed either, but is smart enough to contort his body to take the blow. lol Hence the longevity of his career.
