PHOENIX (CBSNewYork) — As Eli Manning enters the twilight of his career, the chorus grows louder for the Giants to find his successor.
Perhaps Big Blue did just that last week when they signed ex-Jet Geno Smith.
Speaking to reporters at the NFL meetings on Tuesday, Giants coach Ben McAdoo said he doesn’t see why Smith, 26, can’t someday take over for Manning, 36.
“We’re a long way to go from there,’’ McAdoo said. “To me, Geno, you look at it, you study the guys coming out (in the draft), you study Geno, I think he’s right in the mix of one of the better players available this year.
