If you could change one decision the New York Giants have made

[Gmo11]

Who would have been the QB when Eli retired?

This isn't even hindsight as I said this at the time...but if they had simply let Eli have a goodbye season that he rightfully deserved, they'd have been terrible but the fans would have gotten a chance to cheer on Eli one last time.  He wanted it.  They wanted it.  And suffering through a losing season would have been made more palatable since we got to say goodbye to Eli the right way. 

That also would have positioned them perfectly to take one of Herbert/Burrow/Tua the following year because they would have been in the top 5 almost certainly as Eli was pretty much done by that point.  And then they'd have had their next franchise QB without missing really much of anything.

It was all RIGHT there in front of them.  And Gettleman screwed it all up with one idiotic decision after another after another until this mess became all encompassing.  That's why hiring him is the biggest mistake the franchise made.  All of this even up until this season started with hiring that guy to run the team.
