just saw this as well. McAdoo offered for Eli to start and then get benched later on but he refused saying that would tarnish the streak.
Eli will be a jet next season. it's a jetsy thing to do.
Benching Eli for Geno Smith??? That's a crime.
Now if they wanted to see what Webb can do that's different but Geno, i don't know man.
Although i hope Geno can pull out a couple of wins to make the Giants pick not in the top 3.

I can see Eli ending up in Jacksonville next year. They are a good team with a QB problem. He could slide in and help them make a playoff run. Plus he has the connection with Coughlin.
Since McAdoo was brought up, how badly would he be getting lit up if he was HC of the NYJ?
I think it is telling that the Giants had the balls to bench a guy who won two super bowls and two super bowl mvps. Hasn't missed a game in 14 years, and is still fighting out there. But the jets, who are pretty much out of playoff contention, wont bench a 38 year old journeyman. Say what you want about how it happened or who they are starting, but its the best move if they plan on moving on from Eli. Now, if only the jets front office would see the best move for the future of the jets is to play one of the kids, then that would be greatttttttt

More like Mcadoo is desperate to save his job.
He has already blamed Eli for the losses this season. If he manages to get some wins with Geno, he can claim he was right.
Unless you are suggesting Geno Smith is the future for the Giants it makes no sense , Webb is not even going to be active for the game. This is total desperation on McAdoo's part. Not some grand scheme to improve their draft position.
