Why is Tommie Harris' statement a big deal?

Agreed. I don't think it was that big of a deal either, but usually in the off-season, small stories can be made into bigger ones because there's no playing on the field.

It wasnt a bad thing what he said, but here is the bottom line. When you are on a team you are a unit, and like it or not you are paid to support that unit and tow the company line. When you undermind your QB like that you are underminding the company and that becomes a distraction at the very least.

I don't think it's a big deal, but I think that undermining someone who is supposed to be the leader of your team could be a big deal if applied on a larger scale.

The fact is, Grossman is NOT going to get the job done. Harris has every right to make his complaints. This has been said before and this should light a fire under Grossman's ass and force him to up his play.

I would take one of the Bears janitors over Rex at QB.

For a guy who was injured and couldn't even help his team in the playoffs, Tommie Harris should be focussed on getting his own ass back on the playing field rather than ripping Rex Grossman.

Your name is Simms1156...and you think McNabb is overrated...ha!

I think it's great what he said. I hope it lights a fire under Rex's ass so that he goes out and proves that he can win a Super Bowl. I have faith in Rex, at times last year he showed he can be a great QB and unfortunately at times he showed he's not worth the dog crap I stepped in last night. Hopefully this motivates him.

Simms early career was marred by injuries so that contributed to his early struggles also the Giants were just not that good in his early years and he was not ready to go into the games. Simms also never had much in the way of receivers. He had Steven Baker, Phil Mcconkey them guys are both ehh. Bavaro was good but this was in the era before the evolution of the TE as a viable option in the passing attack. And I not only am paying homage to simms in my name it is also LT hence the 56, I know them superbowls wouldnt have been possible without 56 roaming the field. Until Mcnabb gets himself a superbowl MVP Simms will always be ahead to me at least. Also the year Hostetler was the qb the running game dominated and PARCELLS beat the bills with the ball control offence not allowing the Bills to get into their fast paced style.

After a closer examination of Simms stats it is obvious how much he grew as a qb through the years

1979 New York Giants 66.0 1980 New York Giants 58.9 1981 New York Giants 74.0 1983 New York Giants 56.6 1984 New York Giants 78.1 1985 New York Giants 78.6 1986 New York Giants 74.6 1987 New York Giants 90.0 1988 New York Giants 82.1 1989 New York Giants 77.6 1990 New York Giants 92.7 1991 New York Giants 87.0 1992 New York Giants 83.3 1993 New York Giants 88.3 NFL Totals 40 38 4647 2576 55.4 33462 7.20 199 4.3 157 3.4 477 3418 78.5

Here you can see that in 1983 the light started to go on for Phil and he bacame and elite quarterback. 1999 Philadelphia Eagles 60.1 2000 Philadelphia Eagles 77.8 2001 Philadelphia Eagles 84.3 2002 Philadelphia Eagles 86.0 2003 Philadelphia Eagles 79.6 2004 Philadelphia Eagles 104.7 2005 Philadelphia Eagles 85.0 2006 Philadelphia Eagles 95.5 TOTAL 85.2 You can see based on Mcnabbs stats that he had one superior season (2004) which just so happend to be the only season of either one of their careers where one of them had a go to reciever.

For SImms 84 to 93 were 9 strong years Mcnabb has had from 00 to 06 as strong years so though he is on pace for more good years than simms he is not quite ahead of him yet

Love all the negatives I'm getting, anyway...McNabb has yet to win us a SB, He's yet to prove he can win the big game. He's the Peyton manning of the NFC. Like someone stated about my Shockeyt argument. Stats don't show the whole story. Simms had many good years with a sub-par offense, save for Bavaro, but a smentioned, this was before TEs were a viable option. We have a Brady-esq situation though, can you really say Hostleter won that SB? Or was it Parcells and the coaching staff out-coaching the Bills? I'll go with the latter.
