Tyrod Taylor has a major opportunity ahead of him.

He was named the Giants’ starting quarterback on Wednesday for the team’s Week 17 clash against the Rams, and unless he gets injured or it goes disastrously, presumably for the team’s final game against the Eagles as well.

Taylor can now perfectly set up his looming free agency. He is not expected to be back with the Giants next year, but he can demonstrate what would have plenty of suitors seeking his services.

The 34-year-old Taylor has long been one of the best backup options in the league, perhaps even a fringe starter in the 30-40 range of an overall quarterback ranking.
