lmao, Wow................ If E. Manning gets benched for shit play and Alex doesn't.....

Good - to hell with Eli. He's an overrated, scowling twerp who's nothing but a media creation.

Now why they didn't trade him to the Jags a few weeks ago is beyond me.

See, NY can bench Eli "I have 2 SB rings and beat Tom Brady to get them" Manning... but Reid won't bench Alex. Denver will trade them 2 QBs and a R7 for Eli...

"Manning was given the option of starting against the Raiders..., but declined."

That's a really good point. I'd guess that the owners don't want to give up all that Eli merch sales.

OOOoooOOOOooo He's checking out to go play with Bronco's ****

If I was a weapon for the giants I would never want to play with him as my qb again.

Did something happen other than they suck? They've sucked for awhile.

uh........... 11-5 last year

Right. But they've sucked for 11 games. That's a hell of a long time.

Eli will be under center for the Broncos next year.

Good.

I could see him in Jacksonville with Coughlin there.

I know I'm not known for my football knowledge, so overlook if you want. I'm all for trying something new, especially during a slump, but I can understand Reid's reasoning for keeping your veteran starter in whenever you are on top of your division (even if by only one game). The Giants really have nothing to lose by doing the switch at this point.

They lost their WRs very early this season for starters. I'm sure there's a laundry list of other things.

I hope so.

Dude sucks bawls. He's as bad as Alex Smith but in a completely different way.

I hope the Broncos continue down this path; keep on chasing retreads and hoping your defense can carry them. It worked really well for the chiefs the last 3 decades...

If they want to re-sign him they do. One would presume that decision is made at this point, but you still shitcan the possibility.

Also, they have draft position to lose. Chiefs wrecked that pretty well though.

Works out well... they pick someone like Lamar Jackson in the draft, then trade for Eli. Perfect combo. Move the other guys for whatever you can get, same with a 1/2 dozen other players.

Oh sure, leave Eli in to beat KC, then blow everything before playing the Raiders.

When they were up 2 games it was EXACTLY the time to consider pulling the trigger. They had a cushion to use and against 2 very beatable teams. He takes some lumps but probably keeps our heads above water and gets himself more battle tested for the key stretch against Oakland and SD.

Now if they lose at NYJ, he'll say the Raiders and Chargers games are divisional games that are too risky to put on the shoulders of a rookie quarterback with no experience.

It's no different than exercising - there's always an excuse not to do it if you're looking for one and Andy Reid is clearly looking for one. What you say is a reason not to bench Alex I would have called a perfect cause for doing precisely that.

So, yeah ... they did it with Peyton. Are you going back to the Plummer days, Orton or somehow counting Brock in that mix? Most everyone else (Griese, Cutler, Tebow, the guys there now) were draft picks.

This is going to be very entertaining lol.

Dylan must be crushed

Yep but the question is why. He wanted and drafted Mahomes so why doesn’t he want to play him this season?

Orton, Manning, and yes, Brock (though I will acknowledge that he was an emergency measure).

If they turn to Eli next, that would pretty firmly establish a trend, no? And I kinda feel like Elway's gonna be gunshy about pursuing another young QB after Lynch appears to have blown up on him.

Andy is stubborn as hell and will stick with his original plan to sit Pat all year and thinks he can still fix Alex.

yea Eli took their crap roster and won 2 games in a row against the Chiefs and Cowboys. Hes killing the FOs draft stock especially if hes not going to be there next year. Geno garuntees them more losses. Elis two wins probably knocks them out of a top 3 pick lol

I can see that, too.

Personally, I'm all for starting Mahomes now, even with a one game lead.

Are you suggesting that Peyton is your average retread? That will NEVER happen again.

That sort of thing keeps happening this year.

Carr comes back from a broken vertebrae in time for the Chiefs game, Zeke finally gets suspended after the Chiefs game (and will be out for the Raiders), 5-Pick Peterman gets benched before the Chiefs game (after gifting the Chargers a win), now this.

ALLAH hates us.

So Eli and Alex will be on the market next year? That should drive the price down in Jacksonville for whoever they pick...

What year is it?

I don't understand why they wouldn't just start Webb to see what they have, unless they think Geno could possibly be the guy. Which seems unlikely.

GenoMania running wild, bitches!

That's why someone needs to make Alex into the next Nancy Kerrigan

McAdoo said both will get starts

It is way to late to fix Alex he has to know that by now

I thought he just said Webb would play a little, not necessarily start. I mean, I'm sure he'll start at some point, but idk why you'd delay the inevitable to start Geno.

We need to have a thread that compares performances of Geno and Alex for remainder of the year.

Done!

Gonna lol when Geno outperforms him

Doesn't Eli hold the current record (active players) for most games in a row started?

Geno wont outperform Eli or Alex. He sucks.

If only we were saying that about Patrick Mahomes.

Yeah

Eli was crying when the press interviewed him at his locker LMAO

Yea. He was offered the start against the Raiders but turned it down.

Yeah but only because it was for show and he would be pulled. Didn’t want to tarnish record.

Well, the dragged in Orton with the Cutler trade (thanks Josh). Brock? Well, he was a draft pick and left for like 18 months. Weird deal. Trend? Nah.

Nope, never suggested that... just not a lot of retreads rolling through there as consistently as some might suggest.

And they shouldn't go after Eli - keep Trevor and take a top 10 guy, roll with that.

Giants are playing this smart, IMO. They know Eli gives them at least a CHANCE of winning every Sunday.

With Geno they literally have no shot. Tanking for draft position like a boss. :clap:

This is all on Ben McAdoo.

He wants to prove to the league that it doesn't matter who's at QB, this team sucks.

Davis Webb will play as well.

ROFL

What a Todd Haley-esque thing to do.

Making sure they are bad enough to get one of the top QBs in next year's draft.

Absolutely

McAdoo didn't become a moron overnight. He lost his best receiver for the season along with 16 other guys that are currently on IR.

He's telling the Giants to **** off.

I like it. :D

Another in a long line of disciplinarian coaches who isn't respected by his players.

To me he just looks like a guy always pointing fingers at everyone except himself.

He lost the locker room weeks ago. He's just going nuclear on his way out.

He's going to be a late bloomer.

Rich Gennon

Remember, he actually IMPROVED from year one to year two. The broken jaw thing wasn't his fault.

Big deal.

He went from being a soggy shit sandwich to just a shit sandwich.

Geno sucks. Go past this 'doubling down on Geno Smith' shit. He's gonna make you look bad.

Sure it was.

He got sucker punched.

He didn't get sucker punched, dude walked right up to his face and hit him for being a complete douche bag.

Thats not a sucker punch unless you are simply calling Geno a sucker.

Terrible freaking panic move, there isnt a universe in existence where Geno is better than Eli

Geno Smith Is Sucker-Punched in the Latest Bizarre Blow to the Jets

Geno did nothing to provoke this guy other than owing him a few hundred bucks.

I dunno man.

If I owe someone a few hundred bucks and I tell them straight up '**** you, I"m not paying you." I'm anticipating a punch.

Geno should have ducked. Be an asshole or learn to fight. Choose one.

But did you see that eli wasnt trying the throws just like alex?

Wind must've gotten him benched

Or are the Giants trying to win a ticket to draft John Rosen/Sam Darnold?

I don't think so because it's pretty apparent that no matter what happens the rest of the season, McAdoo and Reese (and probably everyone else) is out in New York.

None of those guys will have anything to do with the 2018 draft.

And if word got out that Mara & Tisch are purposely tanking, I don't think that would go over too well with their fan base or the NFL office.

Giants fans are mostly entitled ****s and should get their feathers ruffled a little.

It's an odd deal that the Maras are allowing this.

Looking at their IR list, and at the names of the assholes they trotted out at receiver against the Chiefs, it's even more amazing that the Chiefs lost to them.

This benching is all about keeping the Raiders afloat...there is no reason to sit Manning against that terrible pass defense. What do you think the Giants hope to accomplish...Geno adding a spark? Oakland will be without both WRs....this just even-outs the AFCW tiebreakers.

This is a bizarre move...

this post checks out

Should have read this Eli/Geno post before the other one. I also agree that Eli to the Jags makes a shitload of sense. He pushed his way into NY, he'll certainly push his way out.

I just went to a Giants board....their fans are saying this is a ****ed up move and dont really understand it. This came out of nowhere. "The switch ends Manning's streak of 210 consecutive regular-season starts, the second-longest streak by a QB in NFL history"

I understand it...perfectly.

Tight bro, you're a real ass Sleuth.

Hey man...dont stop believing.

Enjoy the season...

BTW this is a post from a raiders forum...seems apropos

"Wow! Lynch and Geno Smith back to back, it's like the football gods really want the Raiders in the playoffs."

You are 100% wrong about this, by the way.

The QB1DC just came collectively inside each other.

go be Giants fans bundle of stickss
