I'm guessing that is Geno Smith with the butterfingers?

My only question is if he'll retire or try to play for another team like the Browns.

Giants should be starting Webb instead of Geno as Shea mentioned. Eli may be a jaguar next year

I'm happy with Eli not starting, but I don't understand the decision to start smith over Webb. Like, its pretty clear Geno Smith isn't an NFL starting QB. But getting Webb reps has value if we're gunna give him a chance.
The worst thing is, Geno Smith isn't even under contract for next year - so if he somehow discovers how to be an NFL starting QB over the next two games, he can choose to take the biggest offer in free agency a la Mike Glennon to the Bears. There's literally no upside to playing Geno over Davis Webb unless you're blatantly tanking for the #2 pick. At least you'll be able to show the Jets how properly tank a season.

Now the Browns do play the Bears and the Rodgers-less Packers. And the 49ers do play the Texans and Bears. Giants might get better than that!

I'm not an Eli fan, but he's getting done dirty being benched for Geno.

Spoiler: Way Too Early Hot Take
Eli starts in Denver Week 1, and the media gets to gush over Eli trying to duplicate the end of Peyton's career.

I think there's a 0% chance of Denver Eli.

I like the idea of Eli on the Jags
Show
Do I REALLY suck? That's up to you to decide.

Retiring from LSG's and Mish Mash, for the most part. If you want to contact me, I suggest going outside and enjoying what the world has to offer, instead.

Definitely DID suck, in the end...Probably.

Well, hes not a free agent. And I doubt the giants are going to just cut him because it comes with a massive cap hit.

Most likely scenario is he gets dealt for like a 3rd rounder or two to a team that is almost there but needs a QB. The Jags do come to mind here.

Yes but he would 100% wave it if he were not going to be the starter?

Starting for, let's say, the Browns is still being on the Browns. My point is the trading partners are limited.

I don't think they are. I think manning is committed to still playing.
