We’re all waiting to see if his quarterbacking skills, which led the New York Giants to another Super Bowl victory this year, will serve him well in front of the late-night audience. But looking back on all the pro athletes who’ve previously graced the ‘SNL’ stage, are his chances of succeeding really that high?

It seems like only yesterday that the Giants team suffered the wrath of fans because of its 7-7 win/loss record, but in a drastic change of heart, the team is being praised by just about everyone.

Giants quarterback Eli Manning buys some time, and then throws up a 37-yard touchdown pass to receiver Hakeem Nicks to end the half.

The pass/catch gave the Giants a 20-10 halftime lead, and all the momentum going into the seocnd half.

This play probably gave you the impression that it was the Gaints' day.

The Giants went on to win, 37-20.

In most instances, teams that have a quality guy behind center normally have a quality team.

Aaron Rodgers (Packers), Drew Brees (Saints), Ben Roethlisberger (Steelers), Eli Manning (Giants), Peyton Manning (Colts), and Tom Brady (Patriots) have guided the last eight Super Bowl winners, and most people would consider those players elite quarterbacks, with the possible exception of Eli Manning.

How would you rank the NFL quarterbacks, heading into the 2011 season?
