The unease didn’t end with a chorus of all-out boos, but the murmurs were clearly evident as Eli Manning jogged off the field after a three-and-out to begin the 2019 preseason. Giants fans have become increasingly impatient with these moments in recent years, as Manning’s play and the play of the offense has not been good.
There has been no viable alternative, no quarterback worth reconsidering Manning’s place in the starting lineup.
Until now.
