New York Giants Should Bench Eli Manning For Odell Beckham (And I’m Not Fucking Kidding)

Eli Manning led the New York Football Giants to two World Series victories and no one can take that away from him. Two World Series MVPs. What a legend.

And now it’s 2018, and this man STINKS. The Giants are 4-8 on the season after barely beating the Chicago Bears in an overtime game that New York desperately tried to lose. It’s not Eli’s fault that the defense can’t rush opposing passers or that the offensive line in front of him is made of those ribbons that runners jog through at the finish line of a marathon.

But I think it’s safe to say that if the Giants had a more dynamic quarterback behind center, they’d be able to put up more points.

Odell Beckham has two 40+ yard passing touchdowns this season. Eli Manning has 0.

For anyone that is like ‘come on Lester, Odell can’t really throw’, um, have you seen the balls that come out of Eli’s hands? Peyton Manning used to throw perfect spirals. Eli throws wobbly hot potatoes that are impossible to catch. I think Odell can at the very least, do the same.

Now, I know what you’re all thinking, if Odell is the quarterback then who is he throwing the ball to? Counterpoint: Eli Manning has Odell Beckham and he doesn’t throw it to him so the offense would be exactly the same. Neither Eli nor Odell can throw it to Odell. Nothing would change.

It’s time for us to have a quarterback with some mobility that can evade a pass rush. A quarterback that shows some emotion and can light a spark underneath this stagnant offense. A quarterback that can throw a fucking deep ball.

And what’s the worst case scenario? The Giants lose? Good. That will give them a better draft pick so they can select Eli’s long-term replacement. In the meantime, we will all be watching one of the coolest offensive experiments in NFL history.

Odell Beckham Jr. is MY QB1. SEEEE YAAAA, Eli.
