This is an interesting question. My wife asked me if Eli has made the leap over Phil Simms in my mind as the Greatest Giants QB of all time. And it was tough for me to answer.
Is Eli the Greatest QB in Giants' History?:

In the same way that the prior generations (my Dad) cling to Y.A. Tittle and Charlie Connerly as the best, for me, it comes down to the old saying "you never forget your first" and Phil Simms delivered the Giants first Super Bowl. Not only delivered it, but persevered in spite of many naysayers (the 'Simms Sucks' brigade) who continued chirping even up until the eve of of the Super Bowl. If you think that Tim Tebow has vocal (and sometimes irrational) doubters, you haven't spent enough time with full-throated Giants fans in unrequited heat.
So Simms will always be #1 in my heart, but Eli is slowly but surely building the case to be #1 if I'm leading with my head.
