Nothing else has really made sense for the 2017 New York Giants, so why should this?
On Tuesday afternoon, the Giants announced, via a team statement, that Geno Smith would officially be the one to end the monopoly Eli Manning has had on the starting quarterback position since 2004. Yes, folks, that Geno Smith … one of the 13 quarterbacks the New York Jets have started since Manning’s 210-game streak began. The Geno Smith who provided a spiritual sequel to the Butt Fumble. The Geno Smith whose own teammate punched him in the face.
Now, to be fair to Smith, he was starting to work things out for himself upon his departure from the green side of New York.
