It’s a different time in the NFL for quarterbacks, and former New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms understands that. There’s now a need for “franchise” quarterbacks along with their longevity.
Simms spoke with Ryan Dunleavy of nj.com on Tuesday about his sad ending with Big Blue back in the ’90s. The Giants up and released Simms in 1994 after an 11-5 season.
“You mean the year we won a playoff game, went 11-5 and, oh, I went to the Pro Bowl? I’ve gotten over that,” Simms said, sarcastically.
However, it’s now a different time with quarterbacks and what they bring to the table as far as the franchise is concerned.
