    Eli Benched

    This is an even worse way for a 2-time Super Bowl winner to go out than Ben:

    If this really is it for Ben (distinct possibility), at least he wasn't a healthy scratch for another QB. Eli deserved better. Dude was a consummate pro his whole career.

    It’s bound to happen to every QB...time always wins.

    Consummate pro but a terrible QB the last several years

    Giants did not want to simply cut him but Eli should have retired no later than after the 2017 season

    It's good the Giants finally realized Eli was no longer a functional QB

    I'm sure they realized he needed to be replaced, otherwise they wouldn't have drafted Daniel Jones #6 overall. I guess what was surprising was why he didn't get the start in week 1. He looked good in the preseason

    They drafted him as an heir apparent but talked Eli up as a starter who could still get it done this offseason

    Sucks for Eli. I wonder if he gets a call from Coughlin.

    Eli needs to give it up. A HoF lock unless he goofs up his legacy with more playing.
