This is complete B.S. -- for two reasons:
1. Geno Smith has the worst rating of any QB in the NFL since he's joined the league. He's not part of any team's future as a starter.
2. How the hell do you evaluate a young quarterback like Webb by playing him in games behind a shoddy offensive line, with no running game, and with most of the team's top receivers out for the season with injuries?
Here's what is really happening ...
The Giants have already made up their minds that they're going to cut or trade Manning after the season. As a result, the absolute worst thing they can do is expose him to injury in the remaining games of the season. If that happens, he has no trade value and the team has to pay him $25 million next year.
It's really that simple. This was actually a good business move, but the team handled it terribly. There's an open insurrection among fans, and even retired Giants over the last 20+ years have been all over the team for the way they handled this situation. This franchise is starting to look and act like the Cleveland Browns, for heaven's sake.
Mara hitched himself to goodell who is ruining the league with his social justice support And that was strike one with fans, strike 2 will be ditching Eli.
The NFL seems to be in a race with Hollywood to self-implode.
This was a Jets-like move. All of NYC must be a cesspool now after Deblasio’s influence. Run Eli run, even if it’s straight to retirement.
Best explanation to date. And if I really gave two sheets about the NFL I might float your theory at my local pub. But I don’t, and so I won’t.
BTW, how does Manning feel about “the kneel.”
that makes sense.
hard to handle that the right way though. but saying the truth would have been better than saying you want to give geno smith a chance!!!!
i know. i’m a jets fan!!!
That is the most reasonable analysis I’ve read so far!
