I'd be disappointed if we don't come away with Eli's replacement whether it be Darnold, Rosen, Allen or even Mayfield at pick no. 2.
I feel like many fans and media are acting like Eli Manning is 30 years old and we have 5-10 more years with him with all this trade down talk.
If Eli was 30, than I would be on board with trading down to a QB needy team to move up.
But we're a QB needy team. Franchise QBs don't grow on trees. Davis Webb was not drafted by this regime.
I just don't get the trade down talk by fans or the media.

😄😄 Thank you, sir
That's how I feel too.
Giants should take a QB at 2 if they love the player.
The only reason the Giants should pass on a QB is if they don't like any of these guys. Not because of Eli Manning and definitely not because we have Webb on the roster.

the QB is the guy at 2, you pass. #2 is nota need pick if value is not there.

Now that makes sense!! Not the same old they have to take a QB!! I trust that DG and Shurmer will know when its the right QB, whether thats at #2, in a different round, or maybe its Webb.
Many ways to rebuild this team....
Ok, I fucking laughed out loud on that one.. Nicely done.

Good to see you 56..
I am starting to believe the Giants are hoping Webb, with a couple of more seasons behind Eli, will be the guy.

Thanks John..I have much confidence in Shurmur and his ability to develop QBs or make them productive. Only HE knows about Webb
You can't play forever. We should trade Eli for more picks.

The new coach and GM will then be able to "OWN IT" and not be use "Eli" as an excuse if something goes sideways. Unfortunately, that moron Reese and owners would not let our team fail fast to rebuild it properly.

He's going to be 38 and about 8 months when the season starts. So I round up.

Thanks - type 37 and 8 months.
Still 38 going on 39 in my book... ;)
I do hope Webb is the answer and they have a strong conviction about this. If so, trade the f down. It could be a wild ride.
I strongly believe working with a QB friendly offensive system can and will extend his career. I mean, look at what Shurmur was able to do with career journeyman Case Keenum. Now he gets a HOF caliber QB. I can't wait for Eli to prove the doubters wrong.
You missed the rest of the post about Brunell, Testeverde, etc.? And since when did I say anything about Eli being in the same class as anyone else? My post stated facts. There were a number of NFL qbs who played at an age older than Eli. That much is undeniable.
Dude. Spoiler alert.
Elway was actually very productive his last two years. At 37 threw 27 TDs, both Smith and Sharpe has 1K receiving.
And was on pace for more he last year - finished at 22 - until he missed three games with injury.
He could have easily kept playing because the football Gods blessed him with a canon. Eli is nowhere the athlete or the arm talent that Elway was...
I mean these dudes are just old, man -- make way for the younger guys -- or there'll be no way they can keep up with them
True - the rules are different. But so are the athletes on defense who get to the QB quicker because there are smaller, , faster and quicker DEs than ever. So arm strength and accuracy are still as important as ever - that has not changed...
So to me, that is a problem for Eli...
How are we banking on 37-40 being any better than that?

The JPP trade reinforces the idea that the new regime has no sentimentality when it comes to keeping players. Which is good. But it also adds weight to their decision to keep Eli Manning around as a football decision and not an emotional one.

I dont get this. Is Eli responsible for that record or is the team? Sure he played a part of it, but I dont see people rushing to get former Giants via free agency. Most players who were on those teams are no longer in the league. Think about that for a second.
I highly, highly doubt the Giants worry about the Jets QB situation.

can the Giants pass on a QB which the Jets then select and is their Eli for the next 15 years while the Giants enter QB hell? It has to weigh heavily on the Giants...

Maybe you forget they play in the same building and live in the same town where the media will never let it go.
Now Cleveland? They need a QB in the worst way and I think even if they don't like any of the QBs for the #1 overall, they're forced to take one. That fanbase will arrive at the stadium with pitchforks and torches if they pass on a QB this year. Along with the Bills, that team has had the most dreadful QBing these last 10-15 years in the NFL.
