The New York Giants took their time fully committing to Eli Manning as their 2019 starting quarterback
White Lawrence Taylor Jerseys , with GM Dave Gettleman saying as late as the NFL Combine that the team was still “evaluating everything.”Manning, though, said Monday that he left little doubt with the organization that he hoped to return for a 16th season with the team.He said Monday that he knew “pretty quickly” after last season that he wanted to continue as the team’s quarterback.“I didn’t have to think about it long,” said the 38-year-old.“I still wanted to play. I told the Giants that very quickly. I didn’t have to think about it long. This is what I do and what I like to do and I have worked extremely hard the last few months to get ready. I liked how the team rallied toward the end of the year with the coaches. Everyone got on a better page together. Could have won a few more games but had great opportunities to win. We are headed in the right direction.”Manning said he found out some time in the last month or so that he would be brought for 2019. He received a $5 million 2019 roster bonus last month.“I had some talks with Mr. Gettleman and coach Shurmur within the last month or so,” he said. “They told me that I would come back and be on the team this year. I got word within the last month.”He said he is “thinking about right now” and isn’t concerned about what, at this stage of his career

I understand that,” Manning said. “I still have to do my job. I will do my part. Same as last year. Go out there, play quarterback, win football games. That is what I am trying to do.”“In the quarterback room I’ve always felt like I had a great relationship with everybody. We’ve drafted quarterbacks, we’ve had young quarterbacks in there. I enjoy talking football. I enjoy, not necessarily teaching
Lawrence Taylor Jerseys 2019 , just talkin’ ball. ...“That’s just part of being a quarterback.” Eli Manning is moving up on a list he’d prefer not to.The Giants have lost 111 games that Manning has started, putting him third in NFL history for the most career losses by a starting quarterback. If the Giants lose on Sunday, Manning will move into a tie with Brett Favre for the second-most losses. Favre had a career record of 186-112, while Manning’s record is 115-111.In another year, Manning could easily break Vinny Testaverde’s record for the most career losses for any starting quarterback. Testaverde went 90-123-1 in his career, which spanned 21 years and included stops with seven teams.The only active quarterback who has close to as many losses as Manning is Drew Brees
White Carl Banks Jerseys , who has a career record of 152-108 as a starter. Given how much better the Saints are than the Giants, and the fact that Manning is two years younger than Brees, it seems unlikely that Brees will lose enough games to pass Manning for the most losses ever.
