Eli Manning deserved a much better Giants ending. You give your heart and soul to your franchise, and bring home two Super Bowl titles, that’s the least you deserve.
In a 2-9 season of one disaster after another, the Giants allowed a little bit more of their dignity to be stripped away with their terrible Tuesday decision to end the Eli Era.
Instead of riding this season out with Manning and then planning a new future, the rug was pulled out from Manning after 210 consecutive starts, the second-longest QB streak in NFL history.
And it is Geno Smith who will be the starting quarterback in Oakland come Sunday.
