New York Giants: The Lesson Eli Manning Taught Us

We live in an era where every decision is judged within the guidelines of Twitter’s character limit.

It’s a “now” culture.

You are either crowned a king or deemed a bust the minute something works or falls apart.

The New York Giants were 20-23 with Eli Manning as their starting quarterback after the first two weeks of the 2007 season.

A record that included two one-and-done Wildcard playoff losses over a three-plus-year stretch.

Many wondered if Manning was “the” guy to lead the next generation of Giants football.

To the credit of the organization, they stuck with both Manning and head coach Tom Coughlin.
