The New York Giants have played home to some of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, but who is the best to ever don a Giants jersey?

The New York Giants are one of the greatest organizations in all of professional sports. Four-time Super Bowl champions and four-time NFL champions, New York has made winning titles something of a habit.

New York has played home to some of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, including a number of Hall of Famers. Only a select few players can be labeled as franchise legends, however, which beckons the current question.
