Eli Manning deserves this Last Hurrah, deserves Saquon Barkley running everywhere and catching everything, deserves Nate Solder as a professional blindside protector, deserves Pat Shurmur trying to do for him what he did for Case Keenum in Minnesota.
It was painful to everyone who had watched Manning deliver two Super Bowls to New York and handle himself with class every step of the way across 14 seasons bite his lip on the ghastly day he learned that his precious Ironman streak was over because it was time to see Geno Smith.
If anyone deserved better, it was him.
