A Franchise Quarterback

Eli Manning has had a revival of his career under offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo. Manning has been sensational and he is the number one reason the Giants have been competitive this season. Manning gives the Giants legitimacy the way that money does a bank. Without Manning the Giants just couldn’t operate. Manning is one of the most incredible players in Giants history and this generation gets a chance to live through that legend.

Manning has had an incredible season. He has 2,700 yards. He is scoring touchdowns and limiting the turnovers. He is completing over 60 percent of his passes. Manning is bringing home the bacon (or on this day the turkey) for a good reason, the Giants hopes and dreams depend on him.
