New York Giants Rating – 77
It’s very easy to pick on Eli Manning and the Giants. For much of Eli’s career he’s been a regular season dud that throws a boatload of interceptions. His only claim to fame is being the man who has Tom Brady’s number in the Super Bowl.
Here’s something though that many people seem to be overlooking. Under Ben McAdoo’s new offensive system, Eli Manning had one of his best seasons ever even with losing Victor Cruz most of the season. He missed out on his most career TDs in a season by one (30) and threw for the lowest amount of picks since 2008. A rejuvenated Eli Manning and Giants offensive with Victor Cruz and cover star Odell Beckham Jr. is going to be formidable. Like the Raiders, the Giants probably won’t go to the Super Bowl (but if they reach the playoffs watch out). But as long as no one else blows their hand off with fireworks this season, the Giants should be closer to the vicinity of the high 70s low 80s Madden NFL 16 rated teams.
