And speaking of two things that have seemingly nothing to do with each other, Eli Manning has been demoted as the starting quarterback for the New York Giants by his soon-to-be-fired head coach, and Jimmy Garoppolo has been promoted to it’s-about-time quarterback by his now-and-future head coach.
Garoppolo was named as the San Francjsco 49ers starter for Sunday’s game in Chicago against the decrepit Bears, and presumably from this point forward, as the experiment to see how much punishment C.J. Beathard could take before the spring in his neck broke and he became irreparable ended with him leaving the Seattle game .
