The New York Giants have been the NFL’s fourth-best team in quarterback turnover rankings since 2013, notes Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports.
At the very bottom, most of the teams have been buoyed by longtime franchise QBs, like Aaron Rodgers (Packers), Matthew Stafford (Lions), Eli Manning (Giants), Derek Carr (Raiders) and Philip Rivers (Chargers).
The Giants have had only three starting quarterbacks since the start of the 2013 season which was tied for fourth lowest. To qualify for this list a quarterback had to start at least four games in a season for a team.
For the majority of this time, Big Blue had two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning calling the shots under center.
Manning is known for being an iron man, having only missed one start (since assuming the starting role) due to a surprise move to start Geno Smith for a game. While the post-2012 era was not the most prominent years of Manning’s career he did have one playoff trip and paved the way for the new era with Daniel Jones.
Jones is coming back to East Rutherford after signing a massive four-year extension with New York, so it looks like these two will be the faces of the franchise for at least a decade-long period.
The only other quarterback that appeared in at least four games during a season in this span was Mike Glennon, who started exactly four games in 2021 due to an injury to Jones.
Nevertheless, New York will be hoping that Jones can turn out similar to Manning in the sense of being a healthy, reliable quarterback that can bring some winning football back to MetLife Stadium.
