Kevin Gilbride sees parallels from pre-2007 Giants to current team

Kevin Gilbride has seen first-hand what adding the right pass catchers can do for the development of a young quarterback.

Gilbride was quarterbacks coach for the New York Giants when they signed Plaxico Burress as a free agent in 2005 to help a young, developing Eli Manning in 2005. He had ascended to offensive coordinator in 2007 when they selected slot receiver Steve Smith in the second round of the NFL Draft and went on to win the Super Bowl.

There are obvious parallels from that team to the current version of the Giants.
