After years of discussing whether Eli Manning is an elite quarterback and worthy of Hall of Fame consideration, none of it matters at this juncture.
Either way, his time with the New York Giants is drawing to an end.
More importantly, it should.

The Giants haven't handled that messy situation well, but they'll only compound those mistakes by going back to Manning as their starter.
