Daniel Jones helping ease the sting of Eli Manning retiring


Last time the NY Giants had a legendary quarterback retire, Phil Simms, the team pegged Dave Brown as the heir apparent. Luckily, Big Blue can turn to Daniel Jones while trying to replace Eli Manning this time around. We can only hope he works out better than the last Duke replacement the team lined up to take over for a legend.

Eli Manning is gone, and thanks to Daniel Jones‘ electric season, his name has been mostly absent this offseason, something that’s incredibly rare for a franchise icon. Local sports radio shows have been filled with talk about whether Manning belongs in the hall of fame, but even that has now died down.
