Re: Warner named starting Qb for 04
I don't think anyone is surprised by this. I just hope Kurt survives the Philly and Redskins game without serious injury. -

As it should be. Should have been a non-issue from the beginning.Originally posted by ShadesofgreyComment

Re: Warner named starting Qb for 04
Warner has the experience, not really a big deal. Eli could get in at the Philly game with their blitz happy defense and Warner's recent history of injuries. Good luck to him, though.Comment

After another hard loss for the New Yourk Giants, Tom Coughlin announced that Eli Manning will start for the Giants. After the loss Coughlin said Warner would start but Monday the story changed and so did the starting QB for the Giants.
"Eli has been involved in the game plan, he knows the system and he will come in and play the game."
"Kurt will be very supportive of Eli."

Fantasy Notebook: Fool Me Once, Shame On You. ...
By Bob Harris - Senior NFL Analyst - Footballguys.com
Well, the latest reports filtering out of the Big Apple say Kurt Warner
looked sharp during his initial mini-camp workouts this week. His passes
were crisp and mostly on target. But as New York Daily News staffer Ralph
Vacchiano noted, the surprise was that Eli Manning's passes looked even
better.
After struggling through his first mini-camp as a pro early last month,
Manning put all that behind him Monday with a much-improved performance
that caught the eyes of his coaches and teammates.
According to Vacchiano, "his command in the huddle was better and he had a
much greater knowledge of the offense. And as a result, he was able to
show off the right arm that the Giants worked so hard to acquire in their
blockbuster draft-day trade."
Wow. Sounds pretty darned good. ...
Unfortunately, Manning didn't fare as well Tuesday. Which should come as
no surprise. Once again, we're talking about a rookie trying to get up to
speed at the league's most difficult position to master.
Which is why, I suspect, we'll see a growing media drumbeat surrounding
the Warner/Manning competition with Warner putting increasing pressure on
his younger teammate as he becomes familiar with the Giants' system and
his NFL MVP experience begins to factor into the equation.
But that doesn't mean I believe Warner is the best man for this job. Nor
am I sure he's not. And I'm not alone in my confusion.
In fact, after reviewing some of the opinions being floated by those "in
the know," I've come to the conclusion that Warner is as mysterious to the
rest of the world as he is to me.
A sampling follows. ...
In an article published Monday, Sports Illustrated insider Peter King
advised readers: "I think Kurt Warner, whatever happens, will be a team
player and will help Eli Manning as much as he can with the Giants. Warner
is one of the few people I know in football who truly would help the guy
behind him even if it meant it might hurt his situation."
But former Giants quarterback Phil Simms disagreed.
"The perfect guy (for the Giants) was Neil O'Donnell," Simms told the
Newark Star-Ledger. "It's not a knock against Kurt, but the agendas are
different. Kurt Warner still wants to be a franchise quarterback. He wants
to be the guy. ... Kurt Warner will give information to Eli, but he's
going to be more concerned about his performance, his knowledge and what
he's doing."

step further,...-06-13-2004, 08:36 PM -
