    Default Eli Manning Benched For Rookie

    Shalise Manza Young,Yahoo Sports•September 17, 2019

    The New York Giants announced on Tuesday morning that rookie Daniel Jones has been named the team’s starting quarterback.

    The sixth pick in this year’s draft, Jones was a three-year starter at Duke and was immediately seen as the Giants’ next starter – it was just a matter of when he took over, not if.

    With the caveat that it was the preseason, Jones did play well during August. He completed 29-of-34 passes (85.3 percent) for 416 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions.

    He got mop-up duty in the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys and went 3-for-4 for 17 yards. He picked up 5 yards on a keeper on third-and-4 but was stripped of the ball.

    This likely signals the end of Eli Manning’s tenure as the franchise’s starter. After an 0-2 start to this season, the Giants were an even 116-116-0 during the regular season with Manning as their starter.

    The No. 1 overall pick in 2004, Manning and New York were 8-4 in his six playoff appearances, with two Super Bowl titles. All eight postseason wins were in those two championship-winning seasons; otherwise, Manning was 0-4 in the postseason.

    I think he should have went to another team (JAGUARS) or retired. His run in NY has been over for awhile.

    Yeah, there are definitely a few teams who could use a good QB. And maybe he could get lucky like Peyton did after the Colts did the same thing to him.
