What are your thoughts on Eli's benching?
It's cowardly of the Giants Management
If the giants really are looking forward to moving on next year what good did it do by letting the rest of the nfl know we are done with Eli? imo it took a possible 2-4th pick for Eli to 5-7th pick or worst for Eli by benching him now letting him finish the season then calling the jags might have been a better decision
It's the front office and coach throwing a player under the bus to keep the blame off themselves.
First Things First: Cris Carter and Nick Wright I usually give Mr. Wright so much luv but I have to tip my hat to Mr. Carter. I understand where he is coming from. Eli for whatever you want to say he DID win those 2 Superbowls against basically the best recent NFL franchise New England Patriots led by Belichek and Brady. He has the 3rd longest starting streak in NFL history. Sometimes a person's legacy should be more than the game. This game we play this football was created for entertainment and a way to generate money. Something for the fans to cheer for. To have a hero to have a stake in the town you live or appreciate a team for their dominance or hope for a teams triumph. What has happened to the gladiators the warriors of the game. The quarterback that played both ways. The running backs that only needed 3 inches of daylight. What happened to the Linebackers that snarled and spit rolling over offensive linemen with blood forearms. Or Defensive backs that used to be the terror over the middle. Give me an injured Emmitt Smith trying to win a Superbowl. Give me a taped up Lawrence Taylor still dominating the game. Give me a 6th round pick that makes history as the GOAT. Give me a sleepy eyed, quiet, Patriot perfect season ending Ironman in Eli Manning over whatever the future of the Giants might be because without Eli Manning the Giants wouldn't have a present to even be able to focus on a future.
1st of all, Eli has been the definition of "Extra Average". and thats fine, but let's not pretend we're talking about Aaron Rogers.
2nd, Geno Smith is a fine QB. His career QBR is higher than Eli's. And the Jet's were/ are a "Dumpster Fire".
3rd, Davis Webb hasn't beat Smith out for the #2 spot. Geno out played Eli in the preseason.
4th, This move signals that the Giants are evaluating ALL the talent. Which should motivate ALL the players to step up. What if the Giants start winning games with Geno and the newly motivated team?
He deserves to finish the season without being humiliated
He's been terrible for years. Now he's 2-9 this year and looks just as bad as when he came in. No he doesn't deserve to finish the season. He deserves to be cut. He should be grateful they let him stay on the team. Other players dont get that opportunity. Ask McFadden.
Blaize Watts Yeah he does, let him finish the season..Geno is no better and the season is already over..WHATS THE POINT IN BENCHING HIM NOW?!..Its disrespectful
He gets paid, he deserves nothing else.
Been a Giants fan for 30 years. Don't have a problem benching him at 2-9, for a future stud franchise QB, but I do have a problem with benching him for Geno Smith. Geno Smith does not have a future with this team either, so.....what's the point? To embarrass Manning? Move on from him WHEN you have somebody to hand the reins to, not before.
Nissan TitanWarrior exactly. Davis Webb we all get it. Geno?? Don't get it
I agree but I feel like they're putting Geno out there to get a full week of reps for Webb... But they could still let Eli start so I don't get it
Nissan TitanWarrior lmao so you don't like that the black guy gets his job huh? Interesting indeed
I'm a long time giants fan myself, I get the benching, but you gotta go with the rookie. We've all seem what geno Smith can do in newyork. ( jet career ) geno Smith is not better than eli manning. For a very long time I was the fan who felt like eli never had to take the heat, but now I feel like it's wrong to do. #FreeEli
It's not his fault. No offensive line, top 4 receivers out within first 4 weeks or so... Giants did him wrong. -Pittsburgh fan
It's funny how fans have been making fun of, and disrespecting Eli for over a decade, but the second he's benched he's all of a sudden Jesus Christ and should be treated with more class. Not saying the benching was fair, but the 180 by the fans is crazy!
To me that sounds like a good thing. When someone is done wrong all people from different walks of life jump up and say no that's not right. I clown on every player and hate every player especially if they aren't on my team
J Terminator Done wrong? Eli has been doing the Giants wrong for years. He's not that good
Giants owe him nothing, they allowed him to be average since 2004
Isn't it interesting how his "average" abilities contributed to 2 Super Bowls, while other quarterback's who are better than him never won one. Allowing someone to be average seems to work out from time to time.
Eli Manning might be the biggest anomaly in the NFL for the past 15 years. Average on his best day but STILL took down an NFL dynasty in the Super Bowl, TWICE.
Forget benching Eli fire the coach
Nice pix sweety
And yea G-MEN NEED to get rid of everyone
Nicole J Hahah
tumalditamadresita thnx
Where you from sweety ??
For better or worse, that's not who the Giants are. The last time they fired a coach in the middle of a season, the Giants hadn't won a Super Bowl yet.
Benching him for Davis Webb would've made sense. Benching him for Geno makes zero sense
Makes no sense, considering Geno Smith is the guy they're making the move for.
Caleb R it's Webb. It will be next season. Or they get darnold
Sad thing is that they are sending Geno smith to get killed out there.
Who is ready to see Geno Smith lead the Giants in a Wishbone offense? Clearly that formation isn’t effective in the NFL. Look at Tebow
The only thing I can think of, and this is sheer speculation on my part, is that they want Webb to get more practice time with the first team offense before throwing him out there. And until Webb's ready, it doesn't really matter if Smith gets pounded.
Cris saying, “ What difference does it make if they fire Mcadoo”
My answer. They won’t have Mcadoo. That is the difference
@First Things First with Cris Carter and Nick Wright:
First things first, I wanna address a shoutout to you all in the US from Germany. I really enjoy watching ftf and undisputed on a regular basis and the content is high class. Both Shanon Sharpe and CC bring a whole other point of view to the table. But also Nick with his theories that he adds are an enjoyable side facts that a lot of people wouldnt have thought about overall. Now, here is what I think about the "benching-Eli-thing":
I think, its the right move. As a huge NFL from Germany, I can tell you that making the point clear already (week 13) as a Giants Organization avoids the opportunity for Eli to make the comeback at a later point of time (what I mean is the next season). If they somehow would think that they would stay with him next year, the organization would just make joke out of itself.
By doing this, Ben McAdoo obviously wants to save his job by putting a new "project" (Franchise QB) at the first line after hearing a lot of whispers about whether or whether not he will keep his job.
Lets be honest. The Giants Roster should not be playing a 2-9 season at all. This is just an embarresment. And if you look into the future, things with Eli would have become even worse. I will explain it a little bit later.
What I can tell you - and I am really sure about it - is that the Giants just want to avoid that Davis Webb will have a disaster like the Bills had with Peterman a couple of weeks back. A match like that can just burn a players carrier. Especially the QB who has the most difficult role in American Sports as a whole. He can mentally suffer a lot. So you (as a team) just need to settle down and let him adapt to the increasing tempo to the game by giving him reps.
Surely, they could have given Webb the reps while Eli was still playing. But the fact that Geno plays just underlines that Eli is out. There is no turning back, and I think it is right.
Lets see what Davis Webb can do the next weeks. Geno is not the answer nor will he ever be the answer. And that is not the problem - at least how many NFL covering medias a describing it. If he wont play good, they will get a good draft pick anyway so that there is the chance to go big in the first round. Either way they get to choose a new style to start a new era/ generation as a Giants Organization.
Finally, I believe that it would be good for Eli to swap teams for ones in his carrier. All I said about Eli before was obviously no offense against Eli per sé, but after time, it is normal that both the player and the franchise change. It doesnt mean that they get bad during the process. You could just need a difference to squeeze out even more out of you.
Peyton also did it. And look how he ended his career.
My honest opinion: Eli should go to the Broncos and the Broncos should definately strengten their O-Line during the Offseason (Free Agency and Draft). I think, by doing that, they could straight up switch from a nowherelands-team to a Super Bowl caliber side.
The Giants need to restructure their whole organization after a decade with Eli as their franchise QB. And its allright. They just needed to start at one point. And if you carry this whole thing out until the offseason, distractions will remain in New York during that time so that you cannot concentrate on rebuilding your side.
Every era has to end at a certain point of time.
And being this bad with Eli this season, the coach trying to survive by adding new elements to the squad, it could be a beginning of something growing.
Big shoutout to you all. My best wishes. Stay safe and enjoy the rest of the season! :)
Eli deserves better. And that’s coming from an eagle fan.
He should've done better... from a Giants fan
R. L. Hendrix you obviously have no understanding in football. Please don’t comment on something you know nothing about.
I just have a different opinion... doesn't mean I don't know football
German Howitzer
R. L. Hendrix I like that you have you opinion on this but listen... Eli gave NY two super bowls and was the mvp, plus he lead the giants to countless playoffs. And stated over 200 times never missing a game, health is the name of the game. Then his team falls apart and the linemen can’t defend him so he gets pressure every play. His receivers can’t catch and most of them get injured...
And you mean to tell me he needs to play better? Why are giant fans so fickle...
Either Manning goes to Denver, demolishes seattle in the superbowl for a superbowl 48 rematch, that destroys the remainder of the LoB. Or Manning goes to Jacksonville, reunites with Coughlin and beats Brady for the 3rd time.
Josh Norris well, it would be in the AFC championship instead of the super bowl
Ian Perry, correct. I forgot to put championship game.
That ain’t happening bud Eli will likely retire at the end of the season
Matt1356, very likely to happen. IMO I think he has maybe a couple years left. But I'm sure him being a giant meant that much to him he just may retire and be remembered as a giant
Josh Norris You’re speaking dimes kiddo. Eli could definitely get a third chip w JAX. Maybe even with DEN. Some team will pick him up rather quickly. AZ, BUF, NYJ, MIA, just to name a few are teams in need of a QB. But JAX or DEN is were Eli needs to go if he ever wants a third chip because is not gonna happen anywhere else.
P.S. He could make some noise w the Jets. That squad play with h a lot of heart and are in the playoff hunt. Add more talent specially in their OLine, w Eli on the helm, that would be an interesting scenario. Jets w Eli would be a dark horse 🐎 next season.
They offered him the opportunity to start so his consecutive games streak wouldn't get interrupted and then allow the other two guys to get some time too and he rejected that offer so they have to do what they have to do for the sake of the team and the draft next year. That being said it does look very low class move to treat the guy who has won 2 SBs for you and a ton of games but it is what it is.Besides Eli will be starting for the Jags next year with Tom Coughlin running the show down there.
Manning does not duck questions are through any teammates under the bench.he takes the blame for everything even when it's not his fault.Class act
A team can't plan it's future based on the past...
first of all i a am giants fan. Wasn't Eli really good just last year when he had a good defense and his wr were actually healthy? let's come to the playoff game against packers did Eli not throw perfectly catch able balls to his wr who simply dropped the ball over and over? forget that too let's come to this season, was odell hurt in preseason? whatever happened to bradon marshall? forget that too did he not give his team the lead with minutes to go 3 times this season and his defense let the other team score? no don't worry forget that too does he have a NFL caliber offensive line that can not only protect him but give him the time to throw and give his wr the time to get open? forget that too does he have even half decent running game?
very easy to blame him and he will take the blame but let's be real here the giants as a team are bad this year and i won't be blaming all that on Eli. The gm and coach have to go and Eli is only making about 16 million(yes only compared to what some of the other starters are making? why not build his offensive line, get a decent running game going, he will have healthy wr and the defense giants just spend over 200 million in making should bounce back to play half decent
why not make a run one more year what's the hurry?
jaguars
cardinals
broncos
possibly redskins if cousins leave
brees's shoulder looks finished so could be saints
he will have multiple teams to choose from and go to contenders
if you are a fellow giants fan look at the whole picture instead of blaming one player who gave us the lead on 3 different occasions towards the end of the game to only see his defense give up big plays to let the other team score
Man i so much agree with all you said. I wouldnt call myself a hardcore Patriots fan but i follow them since the 2000's i saw the Giats take the Sb's from us and yet i dont hold grudges against them. Iv'e seen the Giants take a turn against themselves and to balem Eli for everything bad that has happend to the team is so unfair, the guy has talent and they are failing to give that talent and effort what it has earned. They are not respecting all he has done for the team. Remmember he took far less time to reach 2 SB mark than Peyton. And to treat him like this is so saddening. Teams that i used to fear playing against the Patriots play are Ravens, Steelers and Broncos. Because they usually play unrefined and to try on hurting Patriot's players. But the team i respect when they play against the Patriots (not now but they used to play like this) are probably just the Giants. They used to be the one team that looked refined and with class, playing tactical, like a brand new machine that runs smoothly affter being oiled up. They played just like the Patriots usually play: "clean and accurate" and for that i respected them. Yet affter losing that (maybe when "the" coach left) sync... well they became what they are now and that's not Eli's fault. I wish they could come back to be the great Giants i learned to respect over the years.
a team like jaguars with that defense and running game and a line that can give him time with young wide receivers. So on one hand we are told football is the ultimate team game yet on the other when giants lose it's on Eli. That packers games in playoffs last year Eli gave giants the chance to build a huge 1st half lead yet his WR were still in party mode
like i said there are atleast 3-6 teams that will go after Eli and teams like jaguars, broncos and cardinals are only a qb away
Dilwale cricket Eli’s never been a good quarterback he’s been above average at best
there were a couple of years he was great. Other than that he is been good to very good. I agree but don't you think there are teams out there who are a good qb away from contending
Giants made the playoffs last year with a top 3 defense. How come that defense went from top 3 to one of the worst, their offensive line play has been below average, running game is below average, all his wr are hurt yet he gave his team 3 games which were their's to win but his defense allowed other teams to get into field goal range and win
how different would this team be if that eagles game go their way. Sports is about momentum and this year giants lose close games
I'm a Tom Brady fan, but I respect Eli, because as a true Dolphins fan, he kept the Pats from taking the only thing the Dolphins have to love about the team, the undefeated season in 1972. Although that second SB was pure luck 9-7, wild card, and somehow move through the playoffs, they were lucky to win the first game, much less the whole thing, and when it mattered, Eli stepped up, and he and the defense took it to the Super Bowl, nobody even thought that they would win the first game.
Wow, a classless act? Really? They are a professional football team. If they decide they are going nowhere with Eli, they should move on, and Eli should understand that. They should not waste time and resources by starting Eli just to appreciate what he did in past. IMO, the best move for them would be try their backups (specially the third round pick) and see what can do. These last few games could be valuable to evaluate Webb. At the end of the season, if they think Webb might not be good enough for their franchise QB, they can draft a good QB in coming draft. Anyway this season is over, right?
Eli Manning is #7 all time in passing yards. He is also #7 all time in passing touchdowns. Eli is 1 of 4 quarterbacks with 2 or more super bowl mvp's. Eli also has the 2nd longest streak of consecutive starts in NFL history. In his past 3 seasons before this one Eli Manning has reached 4000 passing yards. Has Eli been the most talented quarterback we've ever seen, no. But he is a very good quarterback who proved he can play in this league. In a year with horrible pass protection, little to no run game, and all of his starting receivers missing time, and the defense playing poorly the Giants organization thinks Eli can't play anymore? It's dumb in my opinion especially with bad pass protection and little to no run game last year and a good defense, Eli won 11 games. In that playoff game Eli played well and Odell dropped a touchdown pass and 2 1st down passes on 3rd down that would've extended drives to get points on the board.
If you are gonna bench Eli Manning at least get someone better than Geno Smith. I'd rather have Colin Kaepernick as the Giants QB. Smh.
An E So what? Geno Smith was QB on the NY Jets and apparently they didn't want him either and he is supposedly a "free agent"
they are tanking to get a better pick, rest eli...
Eli didn't "manipulate" the draft. The Mannings played a card in their hand because they felt it was in Eli's professional interest to do so. John Elway did the same thing.
They should have waited until the end of the season to part ways. I would have understood if they benched him for a potential starter but Geno Smith hahaha.
Benching Eli isn't bad but they way the giants went about it was horrible
The Keeper Has any of them been good. Unitas to the Chargers, Namath to the Rams, Favre to the Jets. Hate to say it, but there is no good way. When you exchange a known for an unknown, it’s usually met with anger. This is no different.
I knew Eli wasn't coming back next year. The way this season has gone, I expected a fire sale scenario, and moving on from an aging QB is high on the priority list.
But doing it this way...wow...just wow. Major misstep from the organization and major disrespect to one of their star players.
Fsn >>> espn rn
Humzah Hassan
It's been that way for 3 years
I dont like eli never have and never will but with that said, i respect eli and i have no respect for mcadoo. I dont think you move on from him. You give him a pay cut, you fire your coach, you go pick an offensive coorinator kinda like mckvay with the rams as your coach. And see what the difference is! Eli makes mistake cuz they let him go bombs away with the ball! Look at farve, carson palmer for example they have high interception cuz they throw down field to much. This is how manning has played his entire career. You put manning a system like offense you will see him benefit!
Thank you Mr. Carter
This is the kind of decision Mara has been making. Once they fired Tom Coughlin, you know this was the end for a decade
I don’t understand why people are ignoring the fact that the Giants offered Eli the opportunity to start and he said no because he didn’t want to play on a short leash.
George Parker He was too classy to keep a fraudulent record!
CC nails it again. Couldn't of said it better.
I get that that the Giants could have handled the situation better, but they offered Eli the start but let him know that he would be benched in the second half for Smith and Webb, he said no I want my start to mean something, not just to continue the streak so what should they do? If he refuses the start because he would be subbed out the game they have no option but to not start Eli
i love how they just ignore what the girl says lmaoo
It's a great move for the simple fact why win games now when you can protect your top pick in the draft.
Dear Chris Carter,
Considering how there are 53 guys on the roster, do you think it is prudent to *let* one guy continue to play despite poor performance (#1 in interceptions over past 5 seasons)?
IE, how many other players should the Giants *let* play? There is an "I" in mutiny. Believe me.
I liked this because Chris Carter just showed us insight into how the NFL game works when it comes to players, teams, politics, and careers that have been enhanced or negatively affected by decisions of a coaching staff or ownership.
“He’s a nice guy so they should let him keep throwing picks bc this is wrong” weakest agreement ever
Eli earned the right to finish off the season.
They'd ditch a running back or a wide receiver without even blinking.
It was the right move. Use the rest of this lost season to see what your other QB talent is
See u. I've grown up in Brooklyn my whole life. In NYC it's championship or bust CC is right on the money here. So if Eli went 11-5 (last season) it the same bust season as 2013 that Haters is talking about but nobody cares because this man delivered two championships to the city !!!! He has proved himself to us and we will take 2 chips any day over a QB who is pretty good but never wins Romo Dalton Palmer even Newton
Btw I turned the video off as soon as Nick Wright began speaking
Im a bears fan and I never expected to be doing better than the giants
sad, sad day in the nfl. MUCH respect ELI, i hated seeing you rip my defense to shreds. love, a sincere Eagles fan.
It would’ve been one thing if he was benched to play a guy who was a genuine option to be the replacement long term ro make the giving them snaps make sense. Would’ve also been different if they’d stick with it long term and tossed in Webb who was a blank slate. Instead they went with Geno who they knew wouldn’t be long term and then immediately pivoted back to Eli after firing the coach who made this move for no reason other than a last ditch gasp at sparking something to save his job. Just a shame to end something like that that had no positive potential or gain for the team to make it disappointing but at least with some form of rationale to make it acceptable. But ending it to throw in a guy you’ve seen already and isn’t a genuine prospect to succeed him and then not even see it through just made it such a waste
Chris is simply the best there is, period
I can’t be the only one to double tap right EVERY time she opens her mouth.
So disrespectful he has brought that team 2 Super Bowls. Fire macadoo for Christ’s sake.
Hes the most clutch playoff qb ever!
I've been saying that the Giants need to move on from Eli being quarterback. What's new always turns old. We need a new fresh young more athletic quarterback in New York that's the bottom line. All NFL teams are going to get younger quarterbacks. Tom Brady, Rogers, Breeze, Rivers, romo, all these guys times are almost up. There's plenty of good QBTalent in college football let's rebuild and start a new
James Brown 👏👏
So what was the whole point of CC's draft story?
Martin Tataw that cc enjoys acting like he Knows what he's talking about,but he just like to hear himself talk , cause he's a HOF forget CC he has no Superbowl rings hit lucky with the HOF
Talking about Karma? That the Manning/Eli family had it coming I guess?
That expression on Nick´s face failing to convince CC on his point at min 7:51 was so funny (bad edditing tho). I belive both are right on letting Eli be the starter for the rest of the season. However a better way to put some preassure on him to excel at his job would be to on the second half of the games start the back up QB. That could be more fair of a chance (yet a small window) to prove what he is capable of with out taking the "right" Eli earned from years past of hard work to finish this season as a Starting QB for the franchise. I felt really bad for Eli even as a Patriots fan, it was like watching a kid taking all the blame of stuff he didnt entirely break.
They had the right to benched Eli cuz the wanted to see how the other 2 QBs but what the need to do is to get a new offensive line
You may see Odell leave if they bring in a rookie QB.
Kevin lynch franchise tag is a wonderful thing
You may see him leave if they keep Eli much longer.
Daniel Grigg Odell likes Eli and O-line is trash
Agree with Nick
So many Eli manning apologists.... Asante Samuel doesn't drop an easy interception and we are talking about a whole new legacy. He's a good but not elite QB who last 3 years have been saved by Beckam jr being an all world receiver. Let the Giants see what they have in Geno & David Webb. Please this is pro sports!!!!
Eli deserves to play out the rest of the season. He's done a lot for the Giants, and deserves better than to be benched, for "Geno Smith". Ugh 😧.
Giants fans will absolutely hate this suggestion but if they were smart they would get Josh McDaniels. A lot of people will point out his time with the Broncos which was mediocre. But he did have some success early. From an eye test if John Elway had not gotten in the way I think the Broncos under McDaniels was a few moves away from being a consistent 10 win a year team. If you were to bring him in and allow him to run the ship his way with no interference I think McDaniels is the 1 Patriot besides Belichick from a coaching perspective that can find real success as a head coach.
What a disgrace. That coach should be blackballed and never coach EVER again!
I hate it because its geno smith .not a future qb. His durability is being disrespecting by the Giants
In a year with all these star quarterbacks getting hurt the quality of the football games this year has dropped. Taking away one of the games better players for a worse one in Geno Smith is terrible for the NFL.
Hey Chris -- How do you really feel? I wonder who the Giants will hire after McADon't...
the disrespect is being benched for geno smith who im surprised hes still playing ..... if it was an upcoming rookie who has to prove himself then yea but for geno smith ? lmaoooo and im an eagles fan ..... eli looked like he was going to cry in the car lol
let the man finish the season he deserves that much respect, I rather start the rookie than geno.... geno is trash.....
wasnt geno a starter at the Jets? what did he do ova there.... nobody could figuere out who was worst .. him or mark sanchez lol
The only opinion I care about are the ones who played professional football. You can't compare basketball to football also...
I see them trading Eli to Denver
Let go Eli, Get Jarvis Landry and Draft Baker Mayfield
Maybe this is the price for manipulate the DRAFT. "What goes around, comes around."
somebody please find CC better partner to debate
I get Harvey Dent vibes from her
Ben macadoo should be benched. Not Eli.
Teams need to realize that there are 2 great qbs maybe another 3 good ones and the rest are either mediocre or bad so you might as well keep the mediocre one you have
Eli will lead us to the super bowl next year who's with me!!!!!!!!
Get him over to the Cadinals. Palmer is done, we need experienced qb at end of career number 3 of last 15 years.
*Damien Woodley* said it best: "Eli Manning has been trending downward since 2014"......Sorry folks, but *Eli* has been given plenty of time to turn his game around and he simply couldnt...definition of *WASHED* !😩😩😩😩
Wolf I'm all for benching Eli but I'm not ok with benching Eli for Geno. Geno Smith has already proven he's not an NFL starting QB. if it was Davis Webb I'd be all for it. Benching Eli for Geno is a slap in Eli's face.
Wolf not true look at the numbers.when macdoo was just a oc manning numbers were good.when he became head coach he corrupted eli
An E Winston is hurt which is why Fitz is playing. Mccown has played very well for the Jets. bottles was a top 3 pick. Smith was not a high draft pick, Smith has never played well, and Eli isn't hurt.
I'd be ok if Webb was playing.
An E Bottles was 2nd in the NFL in TD passed a few years ago.
in 15 Fitz threw 31tds with the same Jets team. Geno couldn't beat out Fitz. Fitz is actually playing well again this year.
Mccown 67% completion , 17tds, and leading a Jets team to 4 wins when most expected the would get the 1st pick.
Those guys have all at some point played well or are currently playing well .Geno has never played well or ever shown the signs of being an NFL QB.
An E Do you watch football? Mccown and Fitz have had good seaons recently. Geno is complete trash. 34 starts and no signs of being a competent QB. I'd take Mccown, Fitz, and Bottles over Geno all day.
I don't like the Giants and don't think Eli is as good as some would have you believe...with that said I agree 100% with CC. This move at this time under this coach is a very classless act!!
Eli to Denver
The best players should play. Geno Smith is better than Eli Manning at this point in their careers! Geno never got to play with WRs or a defense with the NYJ and when they got WRs and Defense, they wouldn't let Geno play again! Even when Ryan Fitzpatrick choked and missed the playoffs with an easy schedule and the next year he threw 6 picks against KC and the NFL still wouldn't let Geno play!
The favorite QB is the backup except when the starter is white and the backup is a black guy who the media made into a bafoon! They did it to Aaron Brooks. They did it to EJ Manuel. They did it to Geno Smith! The perception and the reality are totally different!
His defense won HIM 2 championships
uhm made good throws that mannyham throw that plaxico throw stop that
shamicheal lewis made LUCKY throws
Defense was ranked in the twenties and thirties both times, but at least you tried
Shamichael right. I remember his arm being the deciding facror
I actually agree with Nick and CC. The way they did Eli was foul but you have to move on.
Giants need a new coach. Let Eli finish the season and replace that garbage "coach"
Eli if u r looking at these comments leave and go to denver like ur brother did and put them over the top. RESPECT
Please get Lamar Jackson to get s better run game and trade down to get extra picks to fix the o line and defense
Carter takes way too long to get to the point
Eli or rivers to the jaguars 😬
Ya Chris Steelers, Chargers still in the playoff hunt not 2-9 Chris
Eli deserves nothing. He was and maybe still is getting paid for his services.
Trust me this is the best thing to happen to Eli if he wants to continue playing. He’s a sitting duck and a huge accident waiting to happen. I’m sure he asked to sit down. Who wants an old injured QB. If he wants to play he’ll go to a team with a serviceable O line and running game. Nothing more to say, If I’m Eli I retire unless the money is insane. Not likely...
It’s just business.
they are tanking!!! get the pick!!! & rest ELI NO PLAYOFFS!!!! NO BOWL!!! SMART!!!
What in sweet Jesus is Carter talking about?
I think Eli will demand a trade next season. I mean I would. That's complete disrespect and lack of loyalty. If my wife of 10+ yrs is flirting with other guys, lets say bcuz shes unwilling to be patient and work with me and with what I have to offer until next season when my #13penile and #15tongue surgery wounds are completely healed. 😂😂😂😂 Common sense would tell me she's lookin for a permanent replacement so why tf would I wait around until she suddenly releases me as soon as she find who she's looking for? Js she's obviously dissatisfied with my previous performances, despite my 2 best play makers being out for a season and shows little faith that i'll be the same even when they do return. Idgaf im not waiting around to get replaced.
i think giants are tanking for the second pick so they can get a qb.
they know geno smith cant win
they are desperate cus nfc east all have solid to great young qbs.
eli deserves better than this.. where the pride now.
SMH these aren't reaction videos!
Giants = 👎🏻🍋😖 for benching Manning.
I kind of want Eli to end up in Jacksonville or Arizona and win a third Super Bowl.
If he sucks he sucks get over it
Eli is basically slacker Peyton can get the job done but doesn’t show up sometimes, but when it mattered he showed up.
the devil has shown back up for what he is owed....Eli Manning sold his soul for the super bowls and manipulated the NFL draft....he deserves nothing.
I don't get it. No rushing game, no wrs, horrible o line, and poor defensive plays thru out this season, and eli is the fall guy? Hmmm... shame on u giants and mcadoo.
Hai Cha He has the best receiving core in the league...
TachankaTraps what receiving core? Everyone is injured
ajc08_ so last year when he was below mediocre he had no one? And I thought every giants fan said Evan engrim was the best TE. Besides those points I don't belive Eli has a good o line and obviously has a disgusting run game but stop acting like he is doing this by himself. He has had a top 10 defense for the past 5 years and the best Wrs too.
Believe*
TachankaTraps eli was far from mediocre last year,he had his usual numbers and was let down by his wrs in the playoffs.. The giants have only been top 10 in defense once in the last 5 years. The other 4 they were either mediocre or a lil above average at best. The best wrs? The giants had a washed and injured Victor cruz up untill 2014 when odell came along. It has only been odell up untill last year when they drafted sheperd and now this year with marshall and engram. The giants couldve easily been 3-1 up until the chargers game with the injuries. The defense is mediocre this year and the offense is a mess. No line no running game no wrs a horrible coach and horrible play calling. Eli is far from the problem. No one said eli was doing it by him self but when eli is the only consistent component to this team its just sad. When eli is the only one to show up in big games while his wrs and defense cant contribute, that is when people say he does it by him self.
Eli has always been way below average during the reg season... most of the time he sucks
most of the time his team sucks
Eli Manning is my my favorite QB of all time. But let’s be real though benching him for Geno is BS. I agree that its time to move on but I was hoping the next QB on the line would of been Davis Webb. I’m sorry Eli Manning you will always be my QB.
Who is this joke speaking?
Oh it’s Webb’s older brother, I get it.
Has Eli ever really been that good????? Has anyone really wanted him as a QB besides when they lucked up against NE
MRWESTSIDE1000 I would take Eli in the postseason in a second. He's got ice running through his veins come January.
U dont get lucky twice believe that and in the playoffs he as good or better than anyone else outhere.
I agree with you both I was a fan he's cold you can't deny honestly imo the giants o line many seasons robbed him of how good he is I guess that's why you over look him but he is indeed a Manning
Boy that bridge on Nick’s nose is quite something.
