WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18 , 2019. THE WASHINGTON POST EZ M2 D5
had his season ended by an
elbow injury, and the New
Orleans Saints’ Drew Brees was
sidelined for an estimated six
weeks by a thumb injury. It has
been a rough week for Super
Bowl-winning NFL
quarterbacks.
What’s next for Manning?
Could he move on like Peyton,
who secured his second Super
Bowl win as part of his career’s
second act in Denver? Eli
Manning has a no-trade clause in
his contract, so he controls his
future.
New Orleans is his hometown,
and the Saints are without Brees.
Coughlin is in Jacksonville, and
the Jaguars are without the
injured Nick Foles. The Steelers
are missing Roethlisberger. The
New York Jets are down to No. 3
quarterback Luke Falk with
Darnold and Trevor Siemian
sidelined. There are quarterback
issues all around the league. But
would any team actually think
that Manning, at this point,
would be the answer and trade
for him? He wasn’t the answer
for the Giants.
“You feel like we worked hard
and we’re prepared and we do a
lot of good things,” Manning said
Monday, “ but just not playing
quite well enough as a group to
score enough points offensively.”
[email protected]at No. 6 this year. The move was
not received well by many draft
observers and Giants fans who
believed that Gettleman could
have gotten Jones later in the
opening round. If Jones becomes
a franchise quarterback, all of
that consternation will be
forgotten.
This benching of Manning
won’t be undone unless Jones
gets hurt. The organization, after
the McAdoo fiasco, undoubtedly
had everyone on the same page
this time. Manning gets benched
with a career regular season
record of 116-116 to go with his
two Super Bowl wins over the
New England Patriots with To m
Coughlin as his coach.
In some ways, his mediocre
regular season results suggest he
didn’t live up to the promise of
being the top selection in the
2004 draft, obtained by the
Giants in a draft-day trade for
Philip Rivers when Manning
refused to play in San Diego for
the Chargers. Manning, after all,
was supposed to be a once-in-a-
generation talent, and he has a
career passer rating of 84.1. But
the Giants certainly aren’t
complaining about two Super
Bowl wins.
He is being benched the same
week in which the Pittsburgh
Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger,
Manning’s fellow 2004 draftee,teammate, and continue to
prepare to help this team win
games,” Shurmur said.
Jones becomes the Giants’
starter for Sunday’s game at
Ta mpa Bay. T he organization —
and everyone else — begins to
find out if General Manager Dave
Gettleman did the right thing by
passing up quarterback Sam
Darnold in the 2018 draft to take
tailback Saquon Barkley second
overall, then taking the
comparatively unheralded Jonesdraft a guy early and you’re not
winning games, things are going
to come up. I’ve just got to keep
working and do whatever my job
is.”
Manning found out Tuesday
morning what his job now is —
backup — when Shurmur
delivered the news to each of the
quarterbacks.
“Eli was obviously
disappointed, as you would
expect, but he said he would be
what he has always been, a goodaccuracy. Once the Giants opted
to go into the season with
Manning as their starter, it’s a bit
odd that they are making the
move after only two games.
Yes, they are 0-2 and the
offense has struggled. But those
struggles extend far beyond
Manning’s early-season play. In
making the move, the Giants are
now in full retooling mode after
trading wide receiver Odell
Beckham Jr. in the offseason.
Manning is a Giants great and
a member of quarterbacking’s
first family. He deserved the
benefit of every doubt for as long
as possible within the
organization. His 2017 benching,
handled clumsily by then-coach
Ben McAdoo, was quickly
overturned. But the NFL
marches on, and in most cases it
eventually marches right over
even those who have experienced
the highest of the sport’s on-field
highs.
Even Eli’s older brother Peyton
was cast aside by the
Indianapolis Colts in 2012, when
he was dealing with a career-
threatening neck injury and
Andrew Luck was about to arrive
via the top choice in that year’s
draft.
“Hey, we’re 0-2 and you’re
looking for answers,” Eli
Manning said when he met with
reporters Monday. “I get it. YouThe end of Eli
Manning’s mixed
bag of a starting
quarterback run
with the New
York Giants — sometimes
glorious, often ordinary, recently
exasperating — arrived Tuesday,
presumably for good this time,
via a switch to prized rookie
Daniel Jones that had been
inevitable since draft night and
was surprising only for its
timing.
The Giants benched the 38-
year-old Manning, their two-time
Super Bowl winner, two games
into his 16th season. The team is
turning to Jones, the Duke
product they chose, in a bit of an
unpopular decision, with the
sixth pick of the draft in April.
“Ultimately, this is a move that
I felt was best for this team at
this time,” Coach Pat Shurmur
said in a statement, in which he
was complimentary of Manning,
that was posted on the team’s
website. “... This move is more
about Daniel moving forward
than about Eli.”
The Giants could have made
the switch in the offseason and
allowed Manning the
opportunity to finish his NFL
career elsewhere. They could
have made it during a preseason
in which Jones showed he could
deliver passes with zip and
Giants’ benching of Manning for Jones was inevitable, but the timing is surprising
