Alan Alda starred in the 1978 film “Same Time Next Year,” and if the Giants were recasting the role, Ryan Nassib could play the lead.
Indeed, it is same time, next year for Nassib. It is early August, meaning this is the fourth consecutive summer he dutifully will take his place as a backup quarterback, moving in for Eli Manning and taking the bulk of the snaps in a game that means nothing on the scoreboard and everything for so many youngsters trying to squeeze their way onto an NFL roster.
That is not Nassib, not anymore.
