The New York Giants are one of the six teams that made the playoffs in the NFC this season. Where does quarterback Eli Manning stack up against other quarterbacks in the NFC?

Compared to the AFC, the NFC is going to be far more entertaining to watch in the playoffs. The New York Giants are one of the representatives in the conference, as they finished with an 11-5 record.

Despite having a better record than the Green Bay Packers, the Giants will be on the road because they are the Wild Card team. Due to the success of the teams in the NFC, all of the teams are very strong at the quarterback position.

There are two legitimate MVP candidates in Aaron Rodgers and Matt Ryan. Also, Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys would be the Rookie of the Year if not for his teammate Ezekiel Elliott. Both Matthew Stafford and Russell Wilson have played well throughout their careers, and have been key to their team’s success this season.

Finally, Eli Manning is a two-time Super Bowl Champion and is playing in the Wild Card spot that he is very comfortable with. With the NFC Playoffs almost here, we are going to rank the quarterbacks based on their performance from this season alone.

These rankings were certainly not easy, as many teams in the NFL would love to have one of these signal callers under center. Here are the quarterback power rankings for the NFC as we enter the playoffs.
