I expect this to be a hot button issue amongst the New York Giants fan base as the second-half of the 2019 season plays out, and as such, I wanted to get out in front of it. On the surface, it makes little to no sense to trot out a 38-year-old quarterback on a rebuilding, struggling football team. It makes even less sense when said team invested a sixth-overall pick in a rookie quarterback, and that rookie quarterback has thrived.
However, Eli Manning and his meaning to the Giants organization – and it’s fans – could never make any real sense to outsiders.
