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

[RoanokeFan]

I agree not to compare them......except to say that Phil was better.

LMAO

I agree.....if Eli's not elite, then maybe we shouldn't use that term for anything, because I have no ****ing clue what it means.

I never even heard it in reference to QB's until Eli answered the question last year. Now it's a game to see who will be tabbed the next 'elite' NFL QB, and what did he do to merit the label... while all QB's of the past are evaluated, post career, as to their 'eliteness', or not.
Everyone mocked Eli for thinking he was elite. Then, after he won his 2nd SB, everyone was tripping all over themselves getting on the "Eli is Elite" bandwagon.
Now, after his last 4 games, some of the rats are abandoning ship...lol. Humans... the only thing consistent about us is our inconsistency

Its just a stupid tag created by the media and fans. Honestly, thats all it is. Completely and utterly meaningless, but it still sends people into towering rages and leaves them foaming at the mouth while lying in the fetal position.

Am I being a little over-dramatic? Yep, but we're approaching page 35 of a thread based on a stupid, meaningless word. A little extra drama is warranted

It's Like comparing Oranges to Apples, Phil was Good, but Eli is Better !

[stormblue]

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

if he could just get it done before the playclock expires.
i'm starting to wonder if he isn't causing half of the confusion himself.

Who was "clutch"? Eli or Simms? No contest! Eli wins hands down. Two come from behind SB wins because our rotten defense can't hold a lead!

rotten defense ? the defense showing up in the playoffs is what did it.
they gave up only 14 points to a previously undefeated team that led the league in scoring.
then along came a helmet "clutch" and then a cornerback stumbled , leaving Plax wide open.
Eli was a paltry 19 of 34 for 255 yds 2td's and 1 pic. call those MVP stats if you want.....
compare that to Simms SB MVP stats.
and don't get me wrong i'll accept that SB42 win
and proudly take that 'ring' to the pawnshop anyday.....
but we all know it was stolen jewelry.

Nonsense.
We were the better team on that field in SB 42.
And the "stumbling CB" came from a great move by Plax that they knew they were vulnerable to from film study and waited until the right time to use it.

We had more rushing yards, more passing yards, more time of possession, and oh yeah.....more points. We beat all the best teams in football that yearin our playoff run.
We were the deserving champs!
