New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning hasn’t started a game (or played in a game, for that matter) since Week 2. In that Sept. 15 matchup, the Giants fell to the Buffalo Bills 28-14. A few short days later, the coaching staff made the ultimate decision to hand the starting duties over to rookie quarterback Daniel Jones.
To be realistic, it wasn’t because Manning was statistically bad. In his two starts this year, he completed 62.9% of his throws for 556 yards, two touchdowns and two picks. Over 16 starts in 2018, he achieved a 66% completion percentage (career-high) with 4,299 yards, 21 touchdowns and 11 picks.
