Retired New York Giants large receiver Amani Toomer performed alongside 10 quarterbacks throughout his 13-year NFL profession and has nothing however good issues to say about most of them.
One in every of them, nevertheless, was fairly egocentric in Toomer’s eyes.
Throughout a Thursday look on The Michael Kay Present, Toomer was discussing the regression of present Giants quarterback Daniel Jones and steered that exterior stress over a scarcity of stats had gotten to him.
Toomer mentioned it was not the primary time he had seen a quarterback grow to be infatuated with stats and advised a narrative about how certainly one of his former teammates wouldn’t threat it for the biscuit.
“I’ve performed with a quarterback who wouldn’t throw Hail Marys on the finish of a half as a result of he was involved about his total quarterback score — if the Hail Mary can be intercepted,” Toomer mentioned, by way of NJ Advance Media.
“I’m not going to say any names. I’m simply going to say he’s within the Corridor of Fame proper now.”
Whereas Toomer refused to call the quarterback, it wasn’t tough to infer. Though Eli Manning is probably going headed to the Professional Soccer Corridor of Fame, he’s not there but. And that leaves only one participant: Kurt Warner.
Requested point-blank if it was Warner, Toomer chuckled.
“I can neither affirm nor deny,” he mentioned.
Warner spent only one season with the Giants (2004), showing in 10 video games earlier than being benched in favor of the aforementioned Manning. He accomplished 62.8% of his passes that yr for two,054 yards, six touchdowns and 4 interceptions.
