Kurt Warner knows who should fill the Giants bridge role he once held
NY Post
Before the Eli Manning Era began, and only five months after Tom Coughlin had been hired, the Giants signed the perfect bridge quarterback.
He was not yet 33, had won a Super Bowl four seasons earlier, was a two-time NFL MVP before injuries interrupted his march to Canton.
What Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll need now is a Kurt Warner, who was 5-4 before Coughlin handed Manning the football.
A quarterback who can win them games now to buy Daboll time to develop his Quarterback of the Future.

Of course this is not 2018, this deadline does not represent a sea change in philosophy resembling that one. But, just as seven years ago, the hierarchy — different general managers, same CEO — is not homing in at making a run at eighth place at the expense of acquiring future assets in exchange for expiring contracts.
