Giants HC Ben McAdoo told reporters that the decision to bench Eli Manning in favor of Geno Smith is “not the end of Eli in New York.” McAdoo added: “[A]t this point it’s my responsibility to take a look at Geno Smith and Davis Webb.”
According to McAdoo, they plan to have Manning serve as the team’s No. 2 quarterback for Sunday’s game against the Raiders.
Manning admitted that the news is hard to handle while speaking to reporters shortly after the move was announced.
