I'm a New York Giants fan born in Indianapolis living in Los Angeles. Been a fan since before their first Super Bowl (LT is still my all-time favorite player). Not much to cheer for in the last two decades or so unless they were playing Brady in the Super Bowl.
Wait, what about Eli!?
The defense won both of those championships, not Eli. He'll probably get in the Hall of Fame eventually, but I was never very impressed with him as a player TBH.
OMG a Giants fan that realizes Eli was Mr. Mediocrity. Love it.
Just for fun I looked up Eli's career stats after I saw your note and I was actually pretty surprised:
57,023 yards passing #9 all time
366 passing TDs #10 all time
241.6 yards per game (236 starts)
For a rough comparison:
John Elway
51,475 yards #11 all time
300 TDs #13
220.0 YPG (234 starts)
They both won two Super Bowls, but I'd think most fans would say Elway is an all time great, and Eli only got to the NFL because of Peyton. Not saying Eli is amazing since the Giants rarely made the playoffs, but his stats are still HOF worthy.
