The Giants have experienced some good luck in the QB position over the years. After harboring and hosting Eli Manning in the position for 16 years, they lined up his successor in his final season. With Manning’s retirement looming, Giants acted fast to bring in who will go on to be their 160 million man down the years.
As Daniel Jones joined the roster, he has since made the role his own over the years. The QB has never played less than 10 games in a single season since his rookie year, including the year he played alongside Manning. The consistency displayed over the years will feel hard done by in the latest rankings for QBs released by ESPN.

Eli Manning will be shocked at the snub
It will surprise many that the Giants’ QB was snubbed for a place in the ESPN Top 10. But none will be more surprised than Eli Manning to witness his successor’s absence from the list. Since Daniel Jones failed to make the list with a vote count not even enough to make the honorable mentions. As he languished in the section ‘also received votes’ upon the list’s release.

In a list that saw the likes of Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson take a spot, few would have thought Jones will miss out. The snub would go as far as to push him down at the bottom of the list as a footnote for receiving a few votes. This will surely irk more than a couple of individuals, and Eli Manning might just be one of the many among them.

The man brought to replace a Giants legend has been one of the prime examples of consistency in his time. But the snub points in a blunt direction, that, there’s still a long way to go for Daniel Jones. Since he is yet to garner a single accolade in the 4 years since his debut. But the confidence he has built up will aid him, as he does not seem to care about the arrival of a legend in town.
