Why does the c patch on Eli Manning's jersey have 4 stars?
Each star stands for one year of being a captain on that particular team. So if they have 2 stars, they have been a team captain for that team for 2 years, last year and this year.
The initiative has been in effect since 2007, the most gold stars that a captain can have right now is 3. Drew Brees & Carson Palmer are examples.
It's not clear why the NFL picked 4 stars-
Perhaps it's because they fit easily.
But a gold star is given for every year that the player is a captain. I do not know what will happen if someone is a captain for more than 4 years. Perhaps the color will change. In any case, as this is the first year of the patch, no one has more than one gold star.
According to Paul Lukas in an article in ESPN Uni Watch from 2007:
....team captains this year will be wearing a specialcaptain's patch on the upper-right chest area (as you can sort of seehere). The patches will be color-coordinated to match each jersey, and the gold star underneath the "C" marks the number of years that the player has been a captain under the league's new captaincy initiative.

When did Eli Manning become the quarterback of the giants?
Eli Manning was originally drafted by the Chargers in the 2004 draft (first round overall pic, but was traded during the draft to New York for their fourth overall pick (which turned out to be Phil Rivers), a third round pick in that draft, and the Giants first and fifth round picks in the 2005 draft. For all they asked for, personally I think San Diego screwed up.
Although drafted in 2004, he didn't become the Giants starting quarterback until the 2005 season, after Kurt Warner voided the last year of his contract (oh well..). The rest is NFL history.
