The news broke and the reactions came flooding in. The Eli Manning era, which produced two memorable Super Bowl runs, is over. The Giants announced the news themselves that Manning would be replaced as the starter by rookie Daniel Jones Sunday against the Buccaneers.

There were jokes about how much the Eagles will miss him, because of their success against Manning. There was shock that next weekend, it will be strange to not see Manning under center for the Giants. There was excitement to see Jones after how well he played in the preseason. But mostly, there was appreciation from Giants fans about everything Manning did, all the franchise records he set, the poise and class with which he handled himself, and the two Super Bowl victories over Tom Brady and the Patriots.
