Phil Simms – New York Giants:
Simms may be a bit underrated looking back at his body of work. Yes, many of his New York Giants career records have since been broken by current signal caller Eli Manning. If we look at his 2,576 completions for 33,462 yards with 199 touchdowns and 157 interceptions, it’s not exactly eye-popping by today’s standards.
But it was the postseason where Simms shined, and that can’t be overstated enough in terms of these rankings. He was a two-time Super Bowl champion and won the Super Bowl XII MVP. There, he completed an astounding 22 of 25 total passes, resulting in a passer rating of 150.9. Manning has a pair of incredible Super Bowl wins over the New England Patriots, but it could be argued Simms’ individual Super Bowl XXI performance was much more impressive overall. He deserves a spot on this list.
