It’s about playing 210 consecutive games, and never missing a single one because of an injury. This is about Manning being the hero of two of the greatest Super Bowl upsets of all time. But this is about more than Manning’s numbers. Yes, their eras were vastly different, and passing statistics have exploded since Simms’ day.
But it’s impossible not to when compiling the list of greatest Giants quarterbacks considering all that Eli Manning has done. I grew up in the Phil Simms era, so it’s not easy for me to push him aside for anyone. Here’s what Ralph wrote about Eli, player he also penned a book with. Ralph’s top three are, in order: Lawrence Taylor, Frank Gifford and Emlen Tunnell followed by Eli and Michael Strahan. That being said, is he one of the five greatest players in Giants’ history? My friend Ralph Vacchiano of SNY.tv believes he is.
Let’s not forget that Eli owns nearly all of the Giants’ all-time passing records and played more seasons (16) and games (236) in Giant Blue than any other player. * Walter Payton Man of the Year winner in 2016
