    The New York Giants are setting lofty goals for their new offense in 2014 as new quarterbacks coach Danny Langsdorf has challenged Eli Manning to complete 70 percent of his passes.

    "It hasn't been done very often, so that's the ultimate goal," Langsdorf said before Giants practice Monday. "I think it's been done eight or nine times, maybe? That's an impressive statistic in the history of the league. So that's what we're gunning for, that 70 percent."

    Manning's career completion percentage is 58.5. His highest mark for a single season is 62.9 percent in 2010, and it has dropped each year since -- all the way to 57.5 last year, when he led the NFL with 27 interceptions against only 18 touchdowns.

    After last season, the Giants changed offensive coordinators and have installed a new offensive scheme.

    Eli will have a 52.5% completion average for 2014.
    I do not see him reversing his % completion. The trend
    will continue going south. Backup QB will finish out the
    season......unsuccessfully.
    The roster has too many holes. Thank you, Jerry Reese.
