Positional Preview: Quarterbacks

46257_giants_camp_footballFrom now until training camp, I will be doing previews for each position, both on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. I figured I’d start with the most important one, Quarterbacks.

Heading into training camp the depth chart at QB looks like this

1. Eli Manning

2. David Carr

3. Andre’ Woodson

3a. Rhett Bomar

Its pretty clear that both Eli and Carr have their roles on the teams locked up at 1st and 2nd string quarterback. Where it gets interesting is the 3rd string quarterback job, which is what looks like to be up for grabs.

Both Bomar and Woodson impressed in OTA’s. Heading into training camp, it will be interesting to see who comes out on top. It’s pretty safe to say that the job is Woodson’s to lose, seeing as Bomar is a rookie and Woodson has been with the team for over a year now.

Let’s not forget that Bomar did play for Big 12 powerhouse Oklahoma before getting into trouble with and being expelled from the school.

For Sam Houston St., Bomar played well. He was one of only eleven players in NCAA football history to throw for over 300 yards and rush for over 100 yards in a single game. He was also selected as a finalist for the Walter Payton award which is given to the top player of an NCAA subdivision.

As for Eli and Carr, it should be business as usual coming into training camp. Carr is a very capable second string QB, and Eli…well is Eli. With him being in his contract year, look for him to come out and play very strong in training camp and the regular season.

Bottom Line: Quarterback does not look like something the Giants need to worry about. Two solid veterans, two young guns with a lot of potential…kind of exciting.
