Skywarp! 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2004 I know there was a similar topic, but I thought I'd make a new one anyway. Someone I think should get to the Hall of Fame but never will is Phil Simms. A columnist for the Giants says this: "I strongly believe Phil Simms deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, but I doubt he will be elected. He hasn't received enough support from the selectors in the past, and with quarterbacks like John Elway and Dan Marino coming up for election, Simms will retreat further to the back of the voters' minds. It's too bad. Simms played perhaps the great game every a quarterback in the Super Bowl. He was largely responsible for the Giants getting to another Super Bowl. And he posted some impressive numbers. Not to denigrate Joe Namath - who is in the Hall of Fame - but consider this statistical comparison between Simms and Namath: Simms Namath Games 164 140 Attempts 4,674 3,762 Completions 2,576 1,866 Percentage 55.4 50.1 Yards 33,462 27,663 Touchdowns 199 173 Interceptions 157 220 Rating 78.5 65.5 How come Namath was selected and Simms comes up short in the voting? Is it because Namath guaranteed his Super Bowl victory, while Simms was merely quietly confident about his? I think Simms did enough to warrant election to the Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, I don't see it happening." Also, in Simms' Super Bowl XXI victory over the Broncos, he posted these stats in out performing the Hall of Fame lock John Elway: "Simms set Super Bowl records for most consecutive completions (10) and highest completion percentage (88 percent on 22 completions in 25 attempts). He also passed for 268 yards and three touchdowns and was named the game's most valuable player." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
