All this bellyaching', boo-hoo-holing....national TV hosts talk about being in tears.

Outside of NYC, who gives a fuck that Eli Manning is being benched on a 2-9 team.

I dont care but benching a 2x superbowl winner /superbowl mvp is pretty fucking shocking you have to admit. That nyg coach is just trying to save his own job but its too late. I haven't watched any nyg games this year, but i doubt eli's ability has fallen off that badly this year.

Eli took out the Pats TWICE, in Super Bowls, so I fucking LOVE HIM. I'll always LOVE that motherfucker.

I think the point is that the Giants aren't going with somebody who has any upside.

They benched a 2 time Super Bowl MVP in favor of Geno Fucking Smith.

Unreal.

I would have no problem with a Ben McAdoo public lynching.

It’s a chicken shit move by McAdoo, Reese and Mara, for sure.

They’re gonna ‘evaluate’ all positions including QB? What the fuck for? Geno Smith? You really need to evaluate him? That other kid? I call bullshit.

Eli’s started 200+ straight games. Let him leave with a little dignity. Besides, he’s the least of their problems. They should be ‘evaluating’ Jerry Reese and be benching his sorry ass.

At the very least, if you’re looking to move on from Eli, let him finish the season and then do it.

They could have said,
"We anticipate Eli Manning being our starting QB to open the 2018 season. We see no need to subject him to any more physical punishment in the last 5 games of the season, as we are out of the playoff hunt and need to evaluate other players on the roster, specifically the QBs. We would like him to mentor our QB of the future, whoever that may be. We look forward to having Eli finish out his career as a NYG, hopefully winning another SB while passing the torch to the next great NYG quarterback."

That being said, and the fact they screwed up how they played this thing out............

Eli Manning will be 37 in a month.
He has a 110-100 career record, 10 games over .500 after 13 years.
He has a 41-50 record over the last 6 years.
He does not have a single playoff win over the last 6 years.
Do they continue to just play Eli, let him get smacked around, watch him throw the ball to the turf, drop to the turf when the wind of a rushing defender blows close by, let him continue his Streak, for what?
Its an easy way to improve the draft pick as well.

Id sign him real fast as Bens backup if he leaves ny.

Ah-hahaha! You're terrible, man!

Eli is the least of the Giants issues. How many players on IR? Eli has no viable, competent skill position players to work with. That O-line is a sieve and Eli is fortunate not to be on IR himself. He'll help make some team contender worthy next season.

Manning to the Broncos?

Guess you guys DO give a fuck about Eli.

I've always maintained that as a Steeler fan, I will be forever indebted to Santonio Holmes. Likewise, as an unabashed Patriots HATER, I will always be indebted to Eli Manning.

Or Jags.

Or Redskins (if Cousins leaves)

Or.....somewhere other than New York.

Just imagine what life would be like if Eli didn't take out the Pats those 2 times.

Imagine how even more insufferable their fuckface fans would be.

If I ever see Eli out anywhere, I'm buying him a beer.

Last line of your post sums up my feelings pretty neatly, KC.

Cardinals? Need to continue their pattern of signing old, castoff QBs.

Come on Swiss, it is a pretty big story. The thing that strikes me is that there are a lot of parallels between Ben and Eli’s careers; similar respected ownership for the organizations they play for; same draft class, etc. If the Lers’ were 2-9, we would likely be calling for Ben to be benched (well some would) but imagine the shock if that were to happen in favor of Jones or Dobbs.

I think the biggest part of the story is that it is the end of an era, likely signaling what is probably the best run in Giants history. And it is coming at the hands of bowling lane oil salesman Ben fucking MacAdoo.

Just like I imagine how much sweeter life would be if Pete Carroll and Dan Quinn didn’t have the most asinine brainfarts of all time.

Right...that, too!

Right on.

I will never talk shit about the Giants or Eli for taking out those cheating fucks, 2x. A special place in my heart for them and easily the best super bowl victories next to our Steeler SB wins!

McAdoo is a clown, Reese is a clown. They all should be shown the door. I'd clean house now. Eli to the Jags!

This is all about "sucking for Luck". Ever since the Colts did it a few years back Pandora's box has been opened. There's too much talent/draft capital to be won by losing your remaining games. For the Giants FO it's business - not football - at this point. Eli will be starting somewhere else next year, no doubt.

Ummm ya, this. Freaking idiots.

I don’t know better ask his dad if he even can play on another team

I doubt that. Smiff or the other guy is not their franchise QB. Didn't they already make a statement that Eli will remain the starter in 2018 and will retire a Giant?

Oh, I certainly know Smiff or Webb are not the future starter at QB. The player will be drafted - very early - next year. Or they will take that top 3 pick and parlay it into several top picks and still get a could be top QB (or at least better than what they have in their two back ups) OR they could use those top picks to reload the O line and RB positions.. I think Eli is under a pretty serious contract, but he may asked to be rereleased/traded, at the end of the year, after this stunt. If he stays, they will be set for the next few years with upgraded O line and RB rooms. Again, it's business not football at this point, just like what the Colts did.

The giants have won a playoff game in only 2 of Eli’s 14 seasons. That’s pathetic. 20 active QBs have a higher career QB rating than him. His career completion percentage is under 60%. If not for two playoff runs where his defense carried him he’d be known as a bust.

They don't want manning to get injured or the rookie 3rd string hurt either

Geno is expendible. Bloom at the IR list on both sides of line

Jenkins is latest to IR

^^^^ THIS

10000% agreed

Love Eli the Pats killer

McAdoo is a fucking gutless douchebag
