Vote: Eli Manning Starts


Eli Manning Coming off a disappointing loss against Arizona, New York coach Tom Coughlin has announced that rookie quarterback Eli Manning will start this week's game. Is it the right move? The Giants are 5-4 and in the thick of the NFC wild-card race. Handing the starting reigns to a rookie worked well for Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers.

But will lightning strike twice?
  • 1) Is Tom Coughlin making a mistake starting Manning while the Giants are still in the playoff race?
  • 2) How many more games will the Giants win this season?
  • 3) Who gives the Giants the best chance to win right now?
  • 4) Who will start the majority of New York's remaining seven games?
  • 5) Ben Roethlisberger has thrown nine touchdowns and four interceptions in seven starts. How will Manning fare if he starts the remaining seven games?
  • 6) Which 2004 rookie will enjoy the most successful NFL career?
  • 7) What is the best philosophy for handling rookie quarterbacks?
