The New York Giants are one of the oldest teams in the NFL. Founded in 1925, they participated as witnesses in the ups and downs of rugby in the North American continent and left a glorious past on their team history. ; More importantly, they are affiliated with the "New York" team, standing on the top of a city in the world, every move has attracted countless light.
For the city of New York, there is no need to go into details, because this is a history that will never end, and only a part of sports can list a lot of people: the Yankees of New York and the New York Mets. Enmity and resentment throughout the history of baseball, the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets are also important topics in the basketball league.
Above the rugby field, New York also has two teams, the New York Giants and the New York Jets.
Both teams have an ancient heritage. Since the establishment of the NFL, they have been an indispensable member of the league and played an important role. They also have a glorious past and have won the Super Bowl.
The New York Giants, along with the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, and Washington Redskins, belong to the League of Nations East.
In the entire league, they are one of Derby ’s oldest, most complicated, and fierce divisions, second only to the Guolian North District led by the Green Bay Packers, but even in such fierce division competition, the New York Giants It is still one of the most powerful players in the division in the past three decades.
Before the Super Bowl era, the New York Giants won the league championship four times. After the Super Bowl era, the New York Giants also won the Super Bowl championship three times. As for the number of division titles, the number is even more impressive.
After entering the 21st century, the strength of the New York Giants is still not to be underestimated. They entered the playoffs six times before and after, and won the Super Bowl in the 2007 season. Compared with the other three rivals in the division, the Giants ’record is undoubtedly Far ahead.
Unfortunately, after the consecutive outbreaks of the 2007 and 2008 seasons, in the past two seasons, the New York Giants have entered a period of painful changes in strength, and their performance has been volatile, with eight wins and eight losses in the 2009 season and ten wins and six losses in the 2010 season. In fact, the record is good, but still because the record within the division fell, leading to the absence of the playoffs.
Nonetheless, no one can deny that the New York Giants are a force in the league that cannot be ignored, not only because of their cumulative record over the past five or ten years, but also because they have an excellent quarterback, Eli -Manning.
The Manning family is a very important traditional rugby family in the NFL.
It all started with Archie-Manning, an excellent quarterback in the 1970s, who worked the field for 14 seasons, leaving his own history .
In the college arena, Archie performed well, killing all sides, while showing proud talent in rugby and baseball, and was favored by scouts, but in the end Archie chose rugby.
In the 1971 draft, it was hailed as a rare quarterback year. There were at least four quarterbacks worthy of the first round of the draft, and the competition was fierce. Later became the New England Patriots team, and then the Boston Patriots. At that time, holding the top pick, they chose Stanford quarterback Jim-Plunkett (Jim-Plunkett), and the team was just five The New Orleans Saints of 2014 chose Archie as their pick.
Regrettably, as the New Orleans Saints in the 1970s, the team building thinking was confusing. The team has never been able to find a formula for victory. Archie almost dragged the whole team forward with the shoulder of a person. , But in the end it is weak. After the Saints spent twelve years in Spring and Autumn, Archie moved to the Houston Oilers and the Minnesota Vikings, and then chose to retire.
It is a pity that Archie has not been able to win the Super Bowl, but he is an important presence in the history of the New Orleans Saints team, not only entered the team ’s Hall of Fame, but also retired Archie from the University of Mississippi Number eighteen jersey. As a quarterback, Archie's ability and talent are undoubted, but it is a pity that he did not encounter the right time.
After getting married, Archie had a total of three sons, Cooper-Manning, Payton Manning and Eli Manning. Among them, Cooper and Payton are only two years apart, while Eli is five years younger than Payton.
All three sons inherited their father's business and entered the football field. Cooper was a wide receiver, while Payton was a quarterback. Eli, who was five years younger, later inherited the ranks of his father and second brother and became a quarterback.
Because of their similar ages, Cooper and Payton spent the middle school together. The Manning combination is a frightening combination on the field. Cooper ’s excellent receiving feel and Payton ’s excellent passing smell have been looked at in the middle school venue. The tacit understanding between the brothers reached its peak. In the year of Payton's sophomore year, the two brothers led the team to a record of nine wins and one loss in the season, which attracted much attention.
Cooper and Payton also agreed with each other, the two also entered the college season together, continue to kill the Quartet, and entered the professional league together, gaining a firm foothold.
But destiny is twisted. After entering college, Cooper found that he would unconsciously drop the ball. After a hospital examination, he found that he suffered from congenital spinal stenosis, which may lead to paralysis and even life-threatening in the future. There is no choice but to end Cooper's football career.
After the darkest period of his life, with Cooper's encouragement, Payton revived and stood on the court. Originally, Peyton's jersey number was number 14, but later, Peyton chose his brother's jersey number, number 18, carrying the dream of the two brothers and moving on.
Later, there was an eighteen quarterback in the history of the NFL.
As the youngest son of Manning's family, Eli has always been the bullied one, just like the toys of two older brothers. When he was a child, he chased the footsteps of his brother stumbled, especially after he grew up. However, under the influence of the rugby environment, Eli also gradually showed his talent for passing.
During college, Eli achieved numerous outstanding results under the public attention, and at the University of Mississippi, broke a series of team history records maintained by his father-Payton chose the enemy of the University of Mississippi to study at the University of Tennessee. Triggered by countless controversies, the youngest son of the Manning family returned to Archie ’s alma mater and recreated his father ’s glory.
In 2003, Peyton, the second son of the Manning family, has become a backbone of the league. He was elected to the regular season MVP for the first time in his career, which made Eli's draft prospects very promising.
Payton seems to be a leader by nature, mature and steady, strategic, and far-sighted, but at a critical moment, he always lacks a ferocious hostility, so in regular season games, Payton can always easily control the game, big Killing the Quartet, but the playoffs have been unable to make a breakthrough, until the 2006 season, ushered in the first Super Bowl of his career.
But Eli is different. He seems to be a gambler by nature, bold, aggressive, decisive and decisive. He usually has ups and downs, but at a critical moment he can always burst out a powerful force to turn the tide. Inheriting the passing feel from his father, it is in the same vein as Payton and trustworthy.
On top of the 2004 draft, Eli Manning was considered the No. 1 overall pick. However, when the first pick was San Diego Lightning, Eli made it clear through his father that he refused to play for the Lightning team.
This is a coalition case, and only the Manning family knows why.
According to rumors, Archie hopes his younger son will go to the League of Nations, avoid the United States where Payton is located, avoid too many brothers duels during the season, and will not be too cruel in the playoffs. Team.
There are also rumors that it was because of the bad management of San Diego Lightning that disappointed Eli and Archie who visited the team before the draft, leading to later rejection.
Another way of saying is that the biggest parallel in the draft of the same year as Payton, Ryan Liv, fell in San Diego, but it has nothing to do with Liv ’s personal ability, but the atmosphere and management of the lightning team are too bad and overwhelmed. Liv's personal ability.
But no matter what kind of rumors, the Mannings never responded positively, which is also an unknown case.
Later, San Diego Lightning chose Eli Manning resolutely above the draft. At that time, in the middle of a booing sound, Eli accepted the jersey with an embarrassed face and accepted the reporter's photo, which also became one of the most embarrassing pictures in the history of the league draft.
However, the Lightning team made a deal. After choosing Eli, they quickly traded Eli to the New York Giants. The price was that the giant who held the fourth overall pick chose Philip Rivers. , The Giants traded Rivers to the Lightning, and also paid a lot of signings for the following year, including the first round.
As a result, Eli Manning became the head quarterback of the New York Giants.
After joining the league, Eli quickly secured a foothold. After a disastrous rookie season, he led the New York Giants to the top of the League of Nations Eastern Conference in the second season, and completed the breakthrough in the fourth season.
In the 2007 season, the New York Giants reached the Super Bowl all the way. In the face of the New England Patriots who won 16 games in the regular season, Eli completed the lore pass touchdown at the last moment, reversing the Super Bowl and gaining. Super Bowl MVP title.
Perhaps Eli is not as stable as Payton, but no one can despise Eli ’s ability.
