Historical consensus within the New York Giants organization and among football historians points overwhelmingly to two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning as the franchise's greatest quarterback. Over a stellar sixteen-year career spent entirely in New York, Manning shattered virtually all major franchise passing records, started an incredible consecutive-games streak, and delivered two legendary championship runs by defeating the heavily favored New England Patriots on the game's biggest stage. While earlier pioneers like Charlie Conerly also hold revered places in team history, Manning's championship rings and longevity secure his legacy at the very top.
