Will last Sunday be the last game Eli plays in blue?

Les in TO : 9/17/2019 1:36 pm
If Jones struggles immensely (like the Nathan Peterman 5 interception game), will Eli be brought in? Will they give Eli the start of the final game of the season assuming they are out of playoff contention for a proper goodbye?
There's no way Eli starts the last game...

....I don't think he'll want to do that, honestly.
I wouldn't be shocked

If Jones gets dinged up and needs to miss a game or two.



The Buffalo game 9/15/19 goes down in history

Eli Mannings last Giants start.

Will he start for another color?
We'll see.

Hate to agree but Mobile QB's do take hits.

Darnold missed time last year, didn't he?
Short of an Injury

The team cannot go back to Eli. If Jones struggle, he needs to struggle. Either he grows and turns into a franchise qb or he flops and will never be anything. In that case, you move on quickly to one of the 2019 or 2020 qbs.
Similar to when Eli took over

We live and die with Jones the rest of the way.
Unless he is hurt no way.
Could the Giants have handled this any worse?

By trying to do right by Eli, they created s mess

Just shows everybody should be treated the same. When you can’t do it any more, you lose your job

than likely. Injury to Jones is the only reason to doubt it.

Once you've closed that door and opened another it's impossible to go back as a coach. PS's future is now tied to Jones. He's not alone in that spot.

Despite Jones good preseason, no guarantee he is an elite QB. In fact, the odds are against him if you look at the history of young QBs.

So, Jones needs to grow but Gisnts also need to find out about him

he did, although people claimed it was a fake injury to afford him some breathing room.
good chance  
hassan : 9/17/2019 2:14 pm : link
he starts last home game as a parting gift.
He'll start if Jones is abysmal or gets hurt. But  
CT Charlie : 9/17/2019 2:19 pm : link
I think the organization wants him to have a .500 record if possible.
If the stage is to big for Jones  
DavidinBMNY : 9/17/2019 2:21 pm : link
And Eli is still on the team, he'll finish out the season.

Otherwise it is Jones's show.
I could see us being 3-12  
Giants in 07 : 9/17/2019 2:21 pm : link
and Eli playing in Week 17

(With the Eagles needing a win to make the playoffs..)
No  
ZogZerg : 9/17/2019 2:24 pm : link
Good Chance Jones gets banged around and misses a few games.

All the young QBs do it.
Honestly I hope not ..  
Bluesbreaker : 9/17/2019 3:27 pm : link
But I want and hope Jones takes the reigns and never
let's go . If Jones gets hurt and has to sit a game or two
sure I want Eli in there and he at least has all
the WR's healthy I really feel the Tate suspension
hurt the offense more than anything . He is the
closest thing we have to a true #1 WR .
It’s not a bad time to make the move.  
Giant John : 9/17/2019 3:51 pm : link
Blocking for him is decent so it’s a good opportunity. Too bad though our receivers are pretty bad.
No  
rocco8112 : 9/17/2019 4:39 pm : link
I hate to say it, but I expect Jones to be dinged. This team sucks and he will be looking to scamper to make something happen. HE will get lit up, and guess who will be coming off the pine.
