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

[Rusty192]

Well I'm sure that their fans appreciate BOTH of them and understand that they were two different quarterbacks and aren't belittling one of them to make the other one seem greater.

Welcome to the GMB baby!

I love Eli and what he has accomplished with the Giants. But my honest opinion out of the top QBs currently in the NFL Eli comes up with the worst games at times then any of them and thats his whole issue when comparing. I am talking Brady, Brees, Peyton, Rodgers, Ben, Ryan..(no particular order)

Amazing how our opinions change after Eli has a few rough games.

Eli is an excellent QB when he's on.
and the heavens and homers adorn him -
but Eli is not always on , and when he's not
the pundits and haters will scorn him.

"when he was good he was awfully good , but when he was bad he was rotten"
or "good Eli and Bad Eli"

so , after 8 or 9 years , what has changed ?

the pundits and haters will gladly point it out.

Not so much about Eli, but more how he "ranks" among the leagues QB's

nope....not for me. Eli has shown simply great football and horrid football over the course of his career more than any of the QBs I mentioned.

So even after last year you would rank Rodgers, Ryan, and Ben over Eli?

Well I have to say if that's how you felt then I respect that.

Last year is one season of his career. Like any top QBs you will have periods that you are on the top of your game. Last year he was moreso than any other season. So I look at the big picture.....not game to game. Just because Eli had a great sseason doesnt make him overall a better QB than another QB.....
