I'm not surprised at Eli's benching, they're 2-9 and their offense sucks, but I am surprised it's for Geno Smith.
Geno is not the answer going forward, I would expect they'd bench him in favor of some young prospect.
Eli's career record is nothing special, 110-100, and the Giants have been below 500 in 4 out of the last 5 seasons. Why is he something they can't do without?
Career passing rating a pedestrian 83.8
