I decided to watch the highlights of Geno Smith play his one game for us against the Raiders , and honestly he played decently.
As a franchise QB , there should be no comparison between Eli Manning and Geno Smith.
In one game , Geno Smith put up 17 points...
In the 15 games that Eli Manning started , the team averaged 15 points...
In fact against Arizona they put up a whopping zero points , just peachy...
Now to be fair to Eli , I do remember Evan Engram dropping a handful of Eli's passes when he played with him , so thats not Eli's fault.
Eli Manning is a better QB than this , and I do not want Geno Smith as our starter , but take a look for yourself at Geno's highlights , I posted the link below.

Eli was shocked by the decision and became selfish in the response. It did ultimately get his HC fired which probably was a good thing for his remaining career but not sure I want to give Eli the benefit of the doubt on that one as a preconceived plan...
But relative to other common Eli-debates that go on here on BBI, I know where you were going with all this...
Coach makes decisions. Not players.
