And the hits just keep on coming for Eli Manning and the 1-7 New York Giants.

On Thursday, Hall-of-Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens said the Giants need a change at quarterback because Odell Beckham's production is suffering.

On Friday, former Manning teammate Victor Cruz said it's time to bench Manning.

Now you can add Giants legend and Hall-of-Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor to the chorus of boo birds.

Taylor talked to The Athletics' Gary Myers about Manning, and didn't sound very complimentary of the quarterback's "laid-back leadership":

"Eli is Eli," Taylor said. "He has been a very good quarterback throughout the league. Don't get me wrong — he's not my type of quarterback. I know he wants to win. I know he wants to perform. But hey, a guy that plays with no passion, is to me, is a waste of my time. I got to have a guy — Phil Simms will get fired up. You look at Tom Brady — he is out there 17 years and that's somebody who gets fired up. You understand what I'm saying? I know he's not that type of leader but somebody's got to do it. Unless you just want to say, 'I played for the New York Giants,' that's fine. Somebody has got to take the reins and start getting on the players' asses and make them accountable and it can't be the coach."

Manning and the Giants are in the middle of their bye week and return to action on Monday, November 12th, when they visit the San Francisco 49ers for Monday Night Football.
