If it is true that everything that goes around comes around, Eli Manning this season will find himself smack in the middle of a tenuous situation that will make his time as the Giants’ starting quarterback borrowed time, with the presence of Daniel Jones looming nearby.
No one on the planet knows this better than Kurt Warner. He was signed by the Giants in 2004 to serve as the sacrificial starting quarterback until it was deemed time for Manning as a rookie to move into the job. Warner’s starting gig lasted nine games and he exited with a winning (5-4) record, much to the chagrin of veterans such as Michael Strahan and Tiki Barber, who fully understood handing the controls to the novice Manning meant the end of any playoff contention.
