When the Giants take the field against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday in Nashville, quarterback Eli Manning will be making his 164th consecutive start for New York. On the opposite sideline, former first-round pick Jake Locker likely won't take a snap for the worst team in the AFC South.

As fans speculate about Manning's future, keep Locker's situation in mind. Along with many recent first-round quarterbacks, the former Washington star has been a bust. From talent to inconsistency to injury issues, former hot-shot draft picks have flamed out and left franchises to continue cycles of losing.

If the Giants land a high pick in the 2015 Draft, don't expect to see the team select Manning's replacement. With young quarterbacks like Robert Griffin III and Cam Newton floundering, Manning's job security is suddenly on firm footing in New York.

Does the failure of many young quarterbacks make you less likely to want to move on from Manning's twilight years?

Watch the video above and sound of below in the comments section with your thoughts on how the Giants will handle Manning's contract this offseason.
