Giants named Geno Smith their new starting QB.

Wow, they're doing Eli dirty. I understand the reasoning behind letting the young guys play in a lost season, but that's disrespectful to the guy who's been there for your franchise for ages.

From the sounds of the tweet, they were going to let Eli continue to start games and bring in the other guys to get playing time. At this point in a lost season, it's probably better in the long run, to get some young players time to see what they have and reduce the risk to your starter. Even if they were to move on from Manning this off season, if he doesn't sustain a major injury he'd still get paid somewhere.

A bet there is a lot of “Manning face” going on right about now. 8)

Soooo, break his starting streak? What a shitty move. Buffalo Billesque.

To be fair, Eli is the one who chose not to start. They planned to start him but to get the other guys playing time. Given that option, he chose to not start at all.
I say Eh, never thought Eli was much more than average and got by by riding his brothers coat tails. I have to say kudos to him though for taking the benching like a champ. Sounds like his time is up in NY, bet he goes to Arizona if that's the case.
TBH, I like the move. The Giants don’t screw around. It’s time to rebuild and they are cutting bait with Eli. It’s why they win championships periodically. They too don’t stay married to anyone. And they aren’t dumb, no one expects Geno to do anything other than flop badly but it’s necessary to do for the sake of change

Jacksonville is much more likely with Coughlin down there.

As overrated as Eli has been, he did beat the Patriots twice! Giants got 2 Superbowls from him, they should have let him finish the season & then cut ties.

Meh, as Kid pointed out, he's choosing the worse option, likely out of ego. This is a guy, after all, who refused to play for the team who drafted him, forcing a trade as a rookie.ivotuk":phpvq6g7 said:
I'm fine with him getting a little butt-hurt in his NFL golden years.

Arians likes the deep ball and the Gunslinger attitude, if the Jags have success this year I doubt they go with a older QB. Coughlin aside it doesn't match what they need to do long term, they are a long term looking team. Doesn't mean he won't go there but given they are building for the future does not make as much sense as the urgency Arizona and Denver has in win now.
