9 Phil Simms
8. Harry Carson
7. Eli Manning

3. Michael Strahan
2. Rosie Brown
1. L. T.
As a fan since 56, I saw all these guys play, except Heim, and really don’t have much push back of the list; I expect younger fans will.
Anyone you would replace with another player of choice?
No problem with that list. Maybe the order needs adjusting. Maybe switch Eli and Frank?
de's katcavage and robustelli
and i agree about tunnell all should be considered in top 10 but i do not know who i would drop outside of barber
No. While YA was a great QB he came late to the Giants, while Tiki is the best RB in Giants history and 2nd on the receiving list, IIRC.
No problem with that list. Maybe the order needs adjusting. Maybe switch Eli and Frank?
Yes, auto correct. I typed it twice too, didn t proof read
Not surprised you feel that way. At 32 you probably feel Eli is best Giants quarterback of all time, not close.
Bit some of us older fans, maybe many, would pick Simms over Eli. IMO, they both belong on list.
1. Taylor
2. Hein (won MVP as a center!)
3. Brown
4. Tunnell
5. Gifford
6. Strahan
7. Carson
8. Manning (Our best QB, but not better at his position than those ranked before)
9. Simms
10. Conerly (Always underrated, won a championship and an MVP)
I can make the case that Huff, Robustelli, and Tittle belong on the list more so than Manning, Simms, and Conerly. But, being a championship winning franchise QB who spent their entire 14 plus year career with us means more to me than HOF players that spent significant time with other teams. I don't know how Tiki Barber even made their list. He is within the top 20, no where near top 10.

SI also has a descent list, only one besides me to rank Hein second.

I'd slot Tunnell somehwere in the top 4 (with LT, Brown & Hein) and bump Barber.
It’s Tiki...sorry. Couldn’t take it.
I don’t think too many objective fans could rank Eli as # 1 Giant
1. LT
2. Tunnel
3. Brown
4. Eli
5. Hein
6. Strahan
7. Gifford
8. Robustelli
9. Huff

Good point Larry. Too many people offended by Tiki's ignominious departure, but yes Tunnell for Tiki would be fair.
Tiki hate is personal, but what he did accomplish as a Giant is irrefutable. #1 rusher and #2 receiver.
I know he was a punter but, at 1 time (in the 70's) he may have been the best player on the team (Harry Carson aside).
