EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Eli Manning has made 225 career starts at quarterback for the New York Giants. There are likely to be at least a few more.
How many?
That is the decision the Giants organization faces as it makes the awkward transition away from the Manning era, which dates back to 2004. It was already botched last season with his one-game benching in favor of Geno Smith. That halted his consecutive-games streak at 210 and prompted public outcry. He was eventually reinstated as the starter and brought back for at least one more season.
