What would it take?

Unless you somehow truly believe that if you put rookie Eli Manning on this team he would win two SBs.

I mean, hell... in 2007 they had the 4th ranked rush offense, 7th ranked defense, and the 21st ranked passing offense. Eli Manning's defining pass from that season? Lobbing up a jump ball into triple coverage that his WR just wanted more.

Ofc I don’t think rookie Eli would win a Super Bowl here. Or anywhere. You don’t draft a QB for only 4-5 years though. You draft him hoping he’s your guy for the next decade +.

And to say all he did was just throw up a jump ball is selling him short. The Giants DL was nasty both times, but Eli was also clutch. Hence 2 Super Bowl MVP’s. The second SB against NE he completed 75% of his passes, and had a 103.7 rating even though he was sacked 3 times.
