Wow. Just wow. It's as if the New York Giants' have taken it as an organizational challenge to put the Browns' in the rearview as the most embarrassingly run operation in the NFL. Benching the face of a franchise that somewhat unbelievably won multiple championships with him at the helm in favor of Geno Smith is such a sick and twisted joke that it initially made me think that @PLeonardNYDN was a parody account run by a Jets' fan. Forget the finger pointing, the internal leaks, the unexcused absences, and - more importantly - the embarrassingly unwatchable losses for a team that is a couple of months removed from being thought of as a contender. Placing your two-time Super Bowl MVP on the pine - and thus asking him to end his 210 game start streak - for no other reason than to sacrifice some backups behind a line whose effort was offensive before it was riddled with injuries is such an egregious decision that it makes Ben McAdoo's use of olive oil as a hair care product look ingenious. I'm thee furthest thing from an Eli apologist and I'm all for seeing what you have at quarterback before making the decision to draft one. However, if that's truly what the Giants think they are doing then they haven't read their depth chart recently. Whether or not it is, this is going to look like a tanking so shameless that it would make Sam Hinkie blush. There's not a single person not named Tom Brady that could possibly step under center and look like a capable ringmaster for this clown show given the active roster's complete lack of just about everything necessary for offensive success. In fact, to call going on the road to the 'Blackhole' with someone whose biggest career accomplishment is not dropping the clipboard as your starter a "losing situation" wouldn't even do justice to the volatility of the venue they are sure to return home to. I want to say this should get the most obvious of lame ducks canned once and for all, but the truth of the matter is that if this decision wasn't first ok'd upstairs then he would already be seeking employment as the first dead extra in some low budget mob movie. A once proud organization - from it's ownership on down - just quit on the only player who has actually been given a reason to quit, and if they didn't do it for a slightly higher draft pick then they did it for a reason that's more illogical than Ben McAdoo's continued employment. Right Tom?
