Eli benched..

For Geno Smith. That’s a brutal way to have your ‘start streak’ come to an end.

Wow. Sounds like he's taken his last snap for the Giants most likely. Have to say that he's handling it the right way, though.

This news is the second time Geno's jaw dropped.

Ross Bjork finally decides to bench ineligible players due to the NCAA sanctions! Prior administration and all**

Kinda sucks for him. He’s obviously not my favorite QB but he’s good for a long time there. Hate to see him end his time with the giants like this.

Smh... Geno Smith. I firmly believe the Giants have lost their brain cells

I'm in this camp.
I actually feel bad for the guy.
The Giants' issues aren't at QB alone.

Some people on Twitter are suggesting this change is about tanking so that they can get a better draft pick. If so, that sucks for everyone. Coaches, fans and Eli. I’d have a hard time being a fan of a team I knew was tanking.

The story I saw said Eli was given the chance to start knowing that Geno would come in soon after, but declined.

Yeah, I don't have anything against Eli. And I don't think his troubles this year are due to his inability to play.
