Calling out football writers

I'm going to call out all the so called football experts here.  The fake reporters begging for Phil Simms to be benched for ScottBrunner under Bill Parcells.  Later Ray Handley benched Simms for  Jeff Hostetler  and then later for the dynamic duo of either Kent Graham or David Brown, both of whom were totally inept.     

I should point out that Phil Simms was drafted in the first round of the 1979, the same draft that Joe Montana was taken in, by the 49ers in the third round.  Prior to the NFL draft in 1979, the San Francisco 49ers led by new coach Bill Walsh were every impressed with Simms that they wanted to select him as their top pick, but the Giants picked before the 49ers and picked Simms.  Had the 49ers picked Simms and Simms played in the warm San Francisco climate (that is compared with the weather in New York), we could be talking about Simms like we talk about the top quarterbacks ever.  Montana was selected in the 3rd round of the 1979 draft, a total steal there.

The media was totally on board with benching Simms for the likes of Kent Graham or David Brown, in fact I recall getting into heated arguments with football reporters who are still writing football.  They were telling me that Kent Graham had better mechanics than Phil Simms.  Maybe Graham was a better mechanic.  Heck he might be fixing cars right now.  

Now the same media find it preposterous that the Giants would ever bench Eli Manning and his first team inept offense for the second string quarterback.  Why was it a good idea to benchSimms so many times, which might have cost the team a Super Bowl or two, but not to do the same for Eli Manning who might need to take a step back and sit with the coordinator and learn the offense.  I'm not saying they should bench Eli, although I'm don't think he could play any worse, but why did the football media, most of whom are working today demand that Phil Simms be benched so many times in his career and why did coaches like BillParcells, Ray Handley and Dan Reeves two of which were outstanding coaches?
