I don't think it was too long after the New York Giants scoffed at every single draft board within a 1,000 mile radius to draft an especially non-special passer whose personality was both proudly and profoundly a lack thereof before we all realized their enduring obsession with having Eli Manning under center had resulted in them ending their stubborn search for a successor by seeking out his kindred spirit. The similarities were just far too striking for those on the outside looking in not to notice that a franchise who moved heaven, earth, and Odell Beckham Jr. just to offer more job security to an aging, below average QB only brought in some competition when it possessed the closest possibly thing to a familiarly flabbergasted face. For that reason, I find the above picture more hilarious than I do shocking. That said, I do wonder what type of reaction David Gettleman and the gang had when they stumbled across it. Like, did it provide them a sense of comfort in knowing that change was no longer imminent in regards to the organization's absence of emotional expression under center, or was it something closer to Rachel having the haunting realization that the only real difference between Ross and Russ was a single letter? In outlasting the tenures of multiple GM's and head coaches, New York's flat out refusal to completely cut the cord and move on from Eli Manning has basically gone from bizarre to bizarro world, so it would be interesting to find out whether taking it to the extent of finding his unofficial clone was a voluntarily one. You'd think it would be with how continually confused the two otherwise nondescript white men look, but love makes you overlook the obvious to the point of lunacy and there's nothing the Giants love more than the most mystifying two-time Super Bowl MVP in NFL history.
