New York Giants 2017 Roster Preview: Quarterbacks
By Sean Dyer
Eli Manning
Eli Manning is undoubtedly the Giants starting quarterback this year. If he stays healthy, Eli will be under center for New York for the next three seasons.
Manning’s completion percentage has been consistently around 63% since Ben McAdoo has been around but his passing yardage and touchdown totals took a dip last year.
The Giants have surrounded Manning with weapons this year. They’ve added wide receiver Brandon Marshall and rookie tight end Evan Engram to go along with wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Sterling Shepard, creating one of the scarier passing attacks in the league.
The biggest question mark for Eli this year will the same as last year; will he have enough time to throw to his weapons? Left tackle Ereck Flowers is entering a make-or-break year and the Giants added lineman D.J. Fluker to add competition to the right side of the line.
If the offensive line can give Eli Manning time to throw and open up holes for Paul Perkins and the running game, the Giants should have one of the better offenses in the NFL this season.
