New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning continues to get support after being benched. One of the latest folks backing him happens to be a QB himself. That's right, Atlanta Falcons gunslinger Matt Ryan feels for Eli.
“I feel for him,” Ryan said to PFT Live. “I really do. For how consistent he’s been in his career, for what he’s done for that city, for that organization, it’s hard. I really feel for him. I’ve known Eli for a long time, he’s an absolute stud of a competitor and he’s even better off the field. So I hurt for him right now. I texted him last night just wishing him the best and letting him know I was thinking of him.”
Not at all oddly, this brought the idea of this one day happening to Matt Ryan himself.
“Everybody knows that that is possible,” he said. “If it can happen to a guy like Eli or so many different players throughout the course of history, seeing how things end, that’s the scary part. You don’t allow yourself to go there as a player. You’re so focused on week-to-week and trying to take care of business this week. I’m not too worried about hopefully four or five years down the line or further than that, but it’s tough. The ends are usually not pretty and it’s a tough situation.”
This entire Eli Manning situation has been crazy since it was announced. People have been “taking sides” on this, as if there is a correct side to be had.
There's no winners here. Well, other than (maybe) Geno Smith.
