Max Kellerman Says Giants Need To Sign Colin Kaepernick And Bench Eli Manning

The New York Giants are at a crossroads as an organization. They face the difficult dilemma of replacing long-time starting quarterback, Eli Manning who clearly looks like a shell of himself and it’s becoming clear that the Giants need to find his heir apparent as soon as possible.
