New York Giants coach Ben McAdoo, who reportedly has a big day on Sunday, vows to not bench quarterback Geno Smith no matter what happens.
Let's start with this specific news at hand.
Ben McAdoo told Sal Paolantonio of ESPN that he is committed to Smith throughout Sunday's game and will not pull him in favor of Eli Manning. Of note, the team's third quarterback, rookie Davis Webb, is expected to be made inactive, so the Giants are ready to live or die with Smith today.
On to the other interesting and relative news of the day.
According to the reports, if the New York Giants lose on Sunday (or even if they don’t), it is expected that Ben McAdoo will be kicked to the curb.
If this firing of McAdoo report ends up being true, this makes the benching of Eli Manning in favor of Geno Smith thing even weirder. The Giants are letting a reportedly soon-to-be-fired coach make a debacle of a situation right before he is shown the door.
Anyway, maybe Big Bad Ben is the fall guy for a National Football League franchise that just wants to see if Smith has any goodness left in that quarterback body of his.
Either way, at least supposedly, as a coach is fighting for his job, he will not go to the more proven quarterback regardless of the situation. That seems, you know, not ideal.
