The Facts:
The Chad Pennington era is over, The Post has learned exclusively. On the heels of yesterday's lackluster 13-3 home loss to the Bills, Clemens, who replaced Pennington with 3:32 remaining in the game, will become the starter this week and almost surely remain so for the rest of the season.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to Post staffer Mark Cannizzaro, HC Eric Mangini has little choice but to go to his backup quarterback -- and probably a number of other backup players -- after his Jets fell to 1-7 with an offense that too often looked hopeless. After the game, Mangini would not give any hints whether he was poised to make a change, but a source with intimate knowledge of the team's thinking told Cannizzaro last night Mangini will turn to Clemens. ... While this isn't the official verdict, it certainly confirms what appears to be obvious. Stay tuned. We'll have more when Mangini addresses the issue.
