Mara can pass this off as Reese and McAdoo's decision and they'll take the backlash and heat for it. I believe he wants a clean slate and none of them (Eli, McAdoo, and Reese) will be in NY next year. Nothing happens without Mara's go ahead. We can all agree that McAdoo is probably gone next year, and if he isn't, he's certainly sitting on a hot seat right above a pit straight to hell, so he likely doesn't have the autonomy to do this. I think Mara see's this as an embarrassment and wants a reboot. They dropped Coughlin and personally I think they probably regret that they didn't clean the entire house when that happened.

Warner had MVP's and a Super Bowl. Also Warner wasn't playing horribly on the Giants. And Eli isn't playing a lot better than Warner was at the time. The only difference is longevity.

Kip Smithers Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I don't believe that this organisation, would end Eli's tenure In this way. It's not how they operate. There's just no easy way to this. I mean you could start him like they proposed and then pull him later in games. But that's just being dishonest. I won't believe it's the end until I see it.

The other was a guy who got benched or injured the previous year. Everyone knew Eli would come in eventually. He was the #1 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in a volatile market. There have been murmurs of getting rid of Eli before. Maybe him even lasting this long was because of the longevity. There's a lot of factors at play.

Unfortunately, the Giants hold the tie breaker, so if we win, we drop down. Yeah, Jimmy G is locked in for next season. But now with this move, the writing is on the wall that the Giants are leaning toward QB unless one of these guys balls out, so the #2 pick should have trade power for teams in need. Just remember, though other teams may be prettier and make more money and more outgoing, no one else can offer you what the Bills have in this years draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he lasted this long because he was our franchise QB who played at a very good level for a number of years. There was never really any real talk or substantiated talk to get rid of Eli, well at least since 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but there were serious questions about how long Eli was viable for most of his career and how long he could ride his two Super Bowls out. I think after the second one it became hard to part with him, but he never shook the moniker of being the guy who was living off two post season runs.

Geezy Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 McAdoo needs to bench himself. Eli will handle this with class, and will bounce back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riceman80 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I like this. Only for the fact that if we lose to a Geno Smith-led Giants team next Sunday that JDR's seat will get scorching hot. Either that or we get a cakewalk opponent to keep us in the hunt for our division. Raiders win from this. Bravo Giants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Absolutely disgusting by the Giants organization. Everyone in that front office deserves to be purged. Though I can't believe this would happen without Mara's approval, so my opinion of that snake is even lower than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly painted himself in a corner with this one, and one he's likely not getting out of in any way other than getting fired. But I'd put the bigger blame on Reece for not putting good depth at WR in the event Odell went down, giving Eli a junk OL to throw behind, not getting any RBs on the team, and a host of problems he never bothered to fix.
