Good morning, New York Giants fans! We begin today with some info from Cian Fahey of Pre-Snap Reads, a site focused purely on quarterback play, about the difficulty NFL teams face in making it through seasons with quarterbacks 35 or older. Eli Manning of the New York Giants is, of course, 36 and entering his 14th season.
Fahey’s focuses on arm strength, specifically, the difference in how well quarterbacks 35 or older were throwing the ball at the beginning of the 2016 season vs. the end. In each case, he found that quarterbacks 35 or older threw the ball better at the beginning of the season than at the end.
