This afternoon’s matchup against the Vikings was a tough one for the Giants’ quarterback. The fans were merciless, setting his jersey ablaze in the parking lot and waiting outside the players’ tunnel to give him an earful as he walked to his car. It was a cringe-worthy scene, reminiscent of a dramatic moment from a classic fantasy film.
While many are quick to criticize the quarterback’s performance, it’s hard not to feel a pang of sympathy for him. By all accounts, he’s a kind and decent person who’s been dealt a tough hand. The real culprit here is the team’s management, who made a questionable decision in offering him a lucrative contract extension.
Let’s be real, if someone offered you a life-changing sum of money, you’d take it in a heartbeat. The quarterback is simply making the most of an opportunity, even if it means shouldering the blame for the team’s struggles.
It’s a shame, really, that the team can’t seem to find a way to win with their current roster. Perhaps they’re missing a spark plug like Jacoby Brissett, who can will his team to victory despite lacking talent around him.
I had the chance to chat with a die-hard Giants fan recently, and it’s clear that he’s still reeling from the team’s latest disappointment. Meanwhile, the leader of the anti-quarterback faction is likely celebrating another “victory” in their crusade against the beleaguered signal-caller.
