I dont think the benching has anything to do with the Giants season per se or affixing blame for it.

It is looking like this is more the new coach wants to go in a different direction and Eli isnt part of that picture.

Eli is under contract until 2020 and also has a no trade clause but is 37 and is due a 5 million bonus in March if he is still a Giant.

Given the paucity of quality qb's out there, he could bring a hefty price in a trade. Is much like when the Colts let go of Peyton. And, there is nothing more effective in ushering someone out of their no trade clause than making them feel unwelcome and unwanted....especially if they still want to play.

IF they are looking to trade him, there is no reason to put him out there with a porous offensive line and risk him being hurt.

Wouldnt be surprised if Beckman, when healthy, also finds himself on the trading block for the right return. He is a very good receiver but his lack of maturity diminishes his overall worth.
