Arnie Galiffa

Jaxson Dart, the Giants' current starter lighting up MetLife, dwarfs Arnie Galiffa, whose NFL cameo was a measly 183 yards, one TD, and five picks across seven games with New York and San Fran—think emergency brake, not engine. Galiffa's real shine was Army's undefeated '49 squad and College Hall nod, but Dart's got modern zip Galiffa never sniffed.

Nope, Arnie Galiffa never made it to Canton—no Pro Football Hall of Fame bust for the guy who lit up West Point with an 83-yard bomb record that stood decades. His NFL stint was too brief, just seven games and 183 yards, though Canada saw his arm in CFL action. College Hall got him right in '83.

Galiffa might carve a niche today with modern passing rules—no more leather helmets or T-formation shackles—leveraging his Army deep-ball chops like that 83-yard record heater. But his 28% NFL completion and five picks in '53 scream adjustment pains against blitzes; he'd be a gritty backup, not starter, thriving in RPOs.

Eli Manning, Giants icon with two Super Bowl MVPs and a 59.81 rating, towers over Arnie Galiffa's Giants blink—4-of-13 for 129 yards, one TD, five INTs, cratering at 6.4ish. Eli slung 4,000-yard seasons; Galiffa was a '53 mop-up man post-Army, talented but lost in pro shadows.
