Eli Manning (2004-Present, 216 Games)

51,682 Yds, 339-228 TD-INT, 59.8 Cmp%, 4.6 TD%, 3.1 INT%, 83.5 Passer Rating

As it turns out, you indeed cannot spell elite without Eli. Manning is the team’s all-time quarterback king, without much of a doubt. He’s a 4x Pro-Bowler and a 2x Super Bowl Champion.

On top of those accolades, he’s the franchise’s all-time leader with 51,682 passing yards, nearly 20,000 more than runner up Phil Simms. He has thrown for over 3,000 yards in all but one of his 14 seasons, his rookie season the lone outlier. Six of those seasons were actually 4,000-plus yard seasons.

His durability is also ridiculous. Dating back to midway through his rookie season, he started every single game from late 2004 to midway through 2017, when Ben McAdoo opted for Geno Smith instead. McAdoo was promptly fired and Manning went back into his starting role immediately after.

Though he’s still behind his brother and NFL Legend Peyton Manning, he’s done quite well for himself. He’s also still playing today, and has a few more seasons before he calls it quits. He may have a locker in Canton eventually as well.
