Geno Smith starting in place of Eli Manning last December created an uproar that quickly led to the firing of head coach Ben McAdoo. After watching Manning struggle against the Eagles on Thursday night, Smith clearly feels a little vindication for both himself and McAdoo.
“Y’all owe my boy Mac an apology!!” he tweeted on Friday morning.
McAdoo was villified for the way he handled the transition at quarterback. Fans and former Giants players nearly stormed the gates at the Giants’ complex when it was announced that Manning would not be starting against the Raiders and that Smith instead would get the game.
