    Looks like he's finally going to get to camp... Should be interesting. Brees is looking good.

    Who's going to start now? Rivers? Brees? Flutie?

    They will probably still start Brees but i dont know why. I think they should start Young Phil though. He would probably would of went before Eli in the draft but the thing is Phillips last name isnt Manning.

    i would start flutie because he does have the most experience... if he doesnt do good(bad) start brees..... and atleast try to end the season w/ rivers playing atleast 2 games.... i think this will be an experimental season

    at a minimum Brees is the ideal backup, hes smart and he can play in short stints, but might lack the athletic ability to start....I see him as a Steve Bono/Frank Reigh type that can be a solid backup and spot starter

    I think had Rivers signed early enough that he and Eli would be staring in week one.

    the giants seem to gradualy giving Eli the starting spot against the eagles, tehy started out by saying hes having a horrific camp, then hes improving, then he gets a start in preseason, then hes getting praise from the Veterans and coaches, then ill hear "Starting at Quarterback from Ole Miss,number 10 ELI Manning" on september 12(or whatever) as he comes through the tunnel to start against the eagles.

    as kurt warner would say,"its in gods hands''
