This is a guy, after all, who refused to play for the team who drafted him, forcing a trade as a rookie.ivotuk":mv0si13z said:Soooo, break his starting streak? What a shitty move. Buffalo Billesque.
I'm fine with him getting a little butt-hurt in his NFL golden years.
I strongly disagree that Manning declined the starts to protect his ego. In fact, McAdoo offering him a token few snaps to keep the streak alive is an insult Manning, Geno, and everyone involved. I think it was selfless of Manning because he said the point of starting is to go out there and win and that going out there knowing you won't be playing the whole game isn't right. He got screwed and handled it like a pro. Respect to him.
