Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press spoke with Giants’ great Phil Simms. The discussion turned to second-year Lions’ QB Matthew Stafford and his similarities to a young Phil Simms.
Simms said Stafford has a bright future ahead. “I’d switch places with him,” Simms said. “I’d take it. Give me his body, give me his talent and I’ll take my chances. Send my butt to Detroit and we’ll go.”
