Pat Shurmur: “Eli’s the starter” at quarterback

The hysteria over Daniel Jones, and the leading questions about whether or not the New York Giants would consider starting him over Eli Manning Week 1 vs. the Dallas Cowboys, just won’t stop.

Despite the many times Shurmur — and co-owner John Mara — have already addressed the topic, the “are you considering starting Jones Week 1?” question was the first one in his Friday conference call.

Shurmur gave his standard answer.

“I think what we’re doing is, and I’ve said it all along, Eli’s our starter and we’re getting Daniel ready to play,” he said.
