Eli Manning still has life

So many people thought that Eli was washed up that almost no one was surprised when Shurmur replaced him with Daniel Jones. Except for the two initial wins with Jones at the helm, the Giants have been unsuccessful all season, proving that Eli wasn’t the problem at all.

On Monday, Manning completed completed 15 of 30 passes (four drops) for 203 yards and two touchdowns. He threw zero interceptions, but was sacked twice. The Giants looked revitalized behind him on Monday, but he needs a better supporting cast.

Eli’s quick-release style isn’t supported by the current roster and it’s clear the Giants are not longer a fit for him.
