Simms was born in Springfield, Kentucky, on his grandfather's farm, now called Maple Hill Manor in Washington County, where he attended St. Elementary School. Dominic. When in elementary school, his family moved to Louisville and he went to St. Catholic school. Rita. Simms was quarterback of the Trojans of Southern High School in Louisville and graduated in 1974. He chose to attend the 2nd Division Morehead State of Ohio Valley Conference in nearby Morehead, where he joined the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity.
The Morehead State Eagles run the control of the ball, and Simms' number is unspectacular - in his senior season he finished 92 of 173 pass for a completion percentage of 53.2% and had six goals, 11 interceptions, and 1,292 yards. The Ohio Valley moved into the new Division I-AA in 1978, but the Eagles went 2-6-1 ; they failed to make postseason during his college career. Simms finished with 409 completions in 835 attempts for 48.9% completion percentage. He also numbered 32 goals, 45 interception, and school record 5,545 meters.
Prior to the 1979 NFL Draft, the new head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, Bill Walsh flew to Morehead State with assistant coach Sam Wyche to complete Simms. Walsh was so impressed that he planned to compile Simms in the third round, preferring him to the quarterback they eventually took, Joe Montana from Notre Dame. But the New York Giants decided to make their first-round Simms pick (seventh overall) a surprise for many. As Simms admits, "most people have never heard of me." When Simms's name was announced by Commissioner Pete Rozelle in front of an audience in the draft in New York, his choice was ridiculed loudly by the Giants fans who attended. (He is the second quarterback taken: Washington State's Jack Thompson goes to Cincinnati with a third overall choice.) Simms also does not like being a giant, "What I'm thinking is which team I'd rather play with - Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chief , San Diego, San Francisco... "Nevertheless, he became popular with his comrades who jokingly called him" Prince Valiant "in his rookie training camp.
Simms won the first five starts of the rookie year in 1979; he was 6-4 as a starter, threw for 1,743 yards and 13 touchdowns, and was named Team NFL All-Rookie. He is runner-up to Rookie of the Year, behind his future teammate, Ottis Anderson.

Initial career: 1980-1986
Simms' the next four years were marred by injuries and inconsistent play. He finished the 1980 season with 15 goals and 19 interceptions, while completing 48.0% of the pass for 2,321 yards. In 1981, Simms threw for 2,031 yards, 11 goals, and 9 interceptions at a 54.4 percent settlement percentage before suffering a separate shoulder in the November 15 loss to the Washington Redskins. With Simms out, the Giants continued the journey led by Scott Brunner and advanced to the second round of the playoffs. Simms suffered a torn knee ligament in a pre-season game against the New York Jets, preventing him from playing throughout the 1982 season. After the season, Ray Perkins resigned as head coach to take over at the University of Alabama, and was replaced by defensive team coordinator Bill Parcells. In the coming years, this change will be very important for the Giants and Simms.
One of Parcells' first decisions as a coach was to replace Simms as an early quarterback with Brunner. Simms asked to be traded after benching, but the request was ignored. During the sixth game of the 1983 Giants Season, Simms came on for Brunner who fought the Philadelphia Eagles. On the second drive, Simms suffered a season-ending injury when the thumb in the throwing hand hit the player's helmet on his follow-up. The injury was reported as a dislocation, but according to the book, Simms to McConkey, written by Phil McConkey, Simms, and Dick Schaap, the injury was much worse, with the thumb actually hanging after the impact, and bone sticking out through the skin.
During his first few years on the team, Giants fans were unforgiving in their treatment of Simms, whom they felt as a disappointment. He commented that his wife "had to sit in the stands and listen to them swear at me." However, in 1984, after many seasons hit by injuries and playing up and down, Simms eventually emerged as the leader of the offensive team. During the 1983 injury, offensive coordinator Ron Erhardt talked Simms to watch more movie games, something he did not regularly do in college or pro. He gained a better understanding of the NFL defense, his team formation, and the protection scheme passed, and improved his ability to be heard on the line of soccer practice. He also changed his strength training regimen in an effort to make his body more resistant to injury. He graduated for 4,044 meters (second most in the National Football Conference (NFC), 22 passing goals, and led the Giants to the playoff spot.
He was selected for Pro Bowl and named Pro Bowl MVP as he led the NFC to win back over the American Football Conference (AFC) by throwing three goals. In 1985, he graduated for 3,829 yards, 22 goals, and led the Giants to 10 wins, the most for the Giants since 1963. In the game against the Cincinnati Bengals during the 1985 season, Simms graduated for 513 yards - all five yards skipped in one game in history of the NFL. In 1986, he graduated for 3,487 yards and 21 goals passes during the season in which the Giants won 14 games. At week 11, he completed his fourth and 17th desperate return to Bobby Johnson at the end of the match to set up a field goal that won the Raul Allegre game, which gave the Giants a 22-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Simms then commented:
This is my favorite game of my career, because that is all I always want as a player. I want to be tough, make big throws, immune to pressure, not worry about results. It's really like standing on a tee box in golf and there are trees on each side and water and you just go 'Man, I'll tear it in the middle.' And no other thoughts are crossing your mind.
Super Bowl XXI
On January 25, 1987, the Giants met the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXI. In the greatest game of his life, Simms has one of the best shows in the history of the Super Bowl. He completed 22 of the 25 passes (with 2 of his 3 inkles dropped by the receiver) for 268 meters, setting the Super Bowl record for successive completion (10), accuracy (88%), and passenger rating (150.9). In addition, he threw 3 passing goals and his passer rating set the NFL post record. "This is probably the best game the quarterback ever played," Giants coach Bill Parcells said. Two of the most famous games of the game are flaer fleas for McConkey, and a touchdown pass caught by McConkey off the fingertips of tight-fitting Giants, Mark Bavaro. The Giants beat the Broncos 39-20, and Simms was named MVP of the Super Bowl XXI. He is credited for being the first person to use the phrase "I'm going to Disney World!" following a championship win.
Career at a later date: 1987-1993
Simms performed well in a 1987 strike-shortening NFL season, finishing with a second-highest quarterback rating on the NFC. He threw for 2,230 yards, 17 goals, and 9 interceptions. He graduated for 3,359 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions while finishing 54.9% of his operations in the 1988 season. The Giants rebounded from a 6-9 record in 1987 to finish 10-6 but fell just short of the playoffs because the tie- breaker NFL. In 1989, the Giants started 8-1 and finished 12-4, Simms graduated for 3,061 yards, 14 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions on 56.3% settlement percentages. He featured consistently in most of the season except for the two-game match against the Eagles and 49ers where he produced seven turnovers, six of which earned points for the opposition. He also fought in the Giants playoffs against the Los Angeles Rams, and the Giants lost 19-13. In 1990, Simms suffered one of his best seasons, leading the NFC with the highest quarterback rank (92.7) and the Giants to a 11-3 record. But his season was cut short due to a broken leg suffered in the fifteenth game against opponents Giants Super Bowl XXV in the end, Buffalo Bills. The Giants went on to beat Bills 20-19 in the Super Bowl with Jeff Hostetler filling in quarterback.
After the Super Bowl Giants victory, Parcells resigned and was replaced by team back coach Ray Handley. One of Handley's first decisions was to choose Jeff Hostetler as the team's early quarterback after his appearance at Super Bowl XXV. Simms saw only spot action in two games before Week 13, when Hostetler broke his back in a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Simms completed the match and reclaimed the early work, but only won once in the remaining four starts as the Giants failed to return to the playoffs in 8-8. Simms called a starter for the 1992 season after beating Hostetler, whose Handley is still considered a quarterback in preseason. However, Simms suffered a severe injury of the arm in a 4 week loss to the Los Angeles Raiders and missed the rest of the season. In two seasons Simms garnered only a combined 1905 yards, 13 goals, and 7 interceptions while finishing 59.3% of his operations. The Giants completed the 1992 season on 6-10, which led to an unpopular Handley stoppage and the hiring of former Denver Broncos coach Dan Reeves. As part of the overall housecleaning, Reeves released Hostetler and named the first quarterback Simms. He started all 16 games in 1993, becoming one of only seven quarterbacks to do so, and led the Giants to a revive 11-5 season including victory over Minnesota Vikings in the playoffs. However, Simms underwent shoulder surgery after the 1993 NFL Season to repair the torn labrum. The operation was successful, and the prognosis of team doctor Russell F. Warren for recovery was excellent, and Simms is expected to be ready in time for the training camp. However, later during the offseason, Simms was released by the Giants, and then decided to retire. Once released, co-owner Wellington Mara called it "a day of tremendous sadness." Phil Simms considered playing for Browns in 1995, but eventually decided to keep retiring.
In 14 seasons with the Giants, Simms completed 2,576 of 4,647 passes for 33,462 yards and 199 goals. Her career passed her total yard size in the first thirty in NFL history. He added 349 carry for 1,252 yards rushed and 6 touchdowns on the ground. He made team notes for most of the operands finished and tried in one game (40 and 62, respectively), season (286, 533) and career (2,576, 4,647), mostly career goals (199) and most games 300 yards in career (21). Simms still has some New York Giants on record, although Eli Manning, who in his thirteenth year with the Giants in the 2016 season, has started to outperform some of them: the season passes (359 completed, 589 attempted), complete passing career (2,679), touchdown career (216), career 300-page game (26). Sports Illustrated considers Simms as "The Most Underestimated Quarterback" in NFL history in the August 27, 2001 edition titled, "The Most Overrated and Underrated".
After retiring from NFL
On September 4, 1995, Simms' jersey retired in a half-hour match ceremony against the Dallas Cowboys. During an emotional speech, Simms declared that he wanted to wear his jersey for the last time, and threw "another bait" to his teammate Lawrence Taylor. Simms then commented, "suddenly it's like hitting me, I've put Lawrence in a very tough place; National TV, he's got a shoe and a sports jacket, and he's got some beer and he'll run to the field and I'll throw him a pass. "Simms then beckoned to Taylor to run a longer pattern, and after 30-40 yards, threw it pass. Taylor later stated that the situation made him more nervous than any game in his career, "I said to myself (because the bait was thrown), 'If I release this bait I have to run my black ass all the way to the Upper Saddle River for not maybe I can stay at the stadium. '"Taylor was caught graduating, and the crowd of present capacity cheered in approval. Since he has retired for more than five years, Simms is eligible to be elected a Pro Football Hall of Fame; he has not been sworn in.
