Daniel Jones’ era beginning guarantees two Philadelphia Eagles wins in 2019
The Philadelphia Eagles won’t face Eli manning in 2019. The Giants have handed the keys to rookie Daniel Jones.
It’s not often that a potential Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee is the guy a team wants to face during the regular season, but that’s exactly the case in one of the most heated rivalries in all of NFL football. Over the course of most of his time with the New York Giants, the thought of facing Eli Manning hasn’t been a very scary prospect for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Traditionally, ‘The Birds’ have had the Giants’ number over the course of recent history.
In 30 career games versus the Eagles, Manning has gone 10-20 with 52 career touchdowns and 34 career interceptions. He’s been sacked 60 times. That’s tied for the most times he’s been sacked by one franchise (the Dallas Cowboys have brought him down 60 times as well).
Manning’s career as a starter potentially ends with hi posting a career record of 116-116, exactly .500. There will be a discussion now about whether or not he’s a legitimate Hall of Famer. that won’t help, but there is the other argument. He did win two Super Bowls.
Here’s the thing. Whenever the Eagles have faced Manning, whether they’ll ever admit it or not, there’s been a sense that everything will be okay. The only thing that seems to be a better prospect than facing him is facing a rookie.

On September 17th of 2019, just a little before lunchtime on the East Coast, the Giants have announced its’ now time to go in another direction. They’ve promoted Daniel Jones to the position of starting quarterback. It’s difficult to decipher what type of value he’ll present to one of the worst teams in the entire NFL, but we can say this.
You can pencil in two wins for the Eagles in 2019. It’s not like you haven’t already.
