Giant Fans, Meet Your New Starting QB

by John Fennelly on August 19th, 2010 at 9:59 pm

In case you missed it, Eli Manning will miss this Saturday’s game.  He will probably only miss this one game, so there really isn’t cause for alarm.  But there is something about Rhett Bomar that strikes a chord with anyone who’s ever been around him.

The Giants drafted Bomar on a lark last year out of Sam Houston State and he has intrigued Giant fans ever since.  There is something there….

As my colleague Dan Benton over at Giants 101 said last night on the Pro Football NYC radio show, Bomar plays better in games than he does in practice. Camp goers are not impressed with Bomar’s overall performance, but when game time comes, a light seems to go on.

This week Bomar will have to take most of the snaps against the Steelers since Dom Randolph just got back in the swing of things today.

Bomar met with reporters this afternoon in Albany. He is a hot commodity and may get hotter if he has a good showing Saturday night.

    Am quite looking forward to seeing Bomar in extended action and, even if for only a couple series, see him against a first team D. The Giants, as far as we know, have nothing after Eli… Possibly the worst backup situation in the league. If anything long term would’ve happened to Eli in the Jet game, the season would have been over before it started. We don’t even have Byron Leftwich. But is Bomar can deliver on his promise, they might be okay. In any case, it is time to find out.
