The Facts:
It's not exactly a change of position from where he stood at the end of the season, but Eric Mangini has tweaked his thinking on the quarterbacks. At a press conference at the combine in Indy today, the coach apparently handed the starting job to Pennington. ... At least until July. "Chad did an outstanding job for us as the starter and he is the starter," Mangini said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Newsday staffer Tom Rock suggested, that's a lot different from the open competition stance Mangini took after the playoff loss to the Patriots. Back then he was asked if Pennington would be the top QB when the Jets head into training camp '07 and Mangini would not commit.
