Yes, I know you New York Giants fans have had a rough go of it for a long time, and as an Eagles fan, I do take some pleasure in that. However, the Giants are one of only seven NFL franchises that have won at least four Super Bowls; they also won four NFL titles in the pre-Super Bowl era<\/a>. Regardless of recent history, the New York Football Giants have a storied past. Just think about some of their hallowed residences \u2026 the Polo Grounds, Yankee Stadium, Shea Stadium, the Meadowlands, and now MetLife Stadium. Coaching luminaries like Owen, Howell, Sherman, Parcells, and Coughlin have led this franchise. They have had defensive Hall of Famers like Robustelli, Huff, Carson, Taylor, and Strahan. But what about their quarterbacks? If a franchise has won eight championships, then there had to be some decent QB play.\u00a0 Let\u2019s look back to better times for this team and identify the best quarterbacks ever for the New York Giants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
