Savvy owners who took Manning would have been wise to draft a solid backup later, but if you got stuck with, say, David Garrard, you'll need to find someone to start in Week One. Let's examine five of the quarterbacks who may be available as emergency fill- ins.

GILMANTON, N.H. -- The borders of this colonial-era town suggest an A-frame house on the brink of toppling over. They form a squarish figure with a triangular extension that appears raised to the right and balanced on one corner, as if a mere push could send it tumbling down to Massachusetts. For the most part, history has respected Gilmanton to the point of indifference. No wars have been fought here, no gold or oil discovered. There have been no major plagues or natural disasters.

It began a few years ago when the property was overrun by deer. That phenomenon continues.

CAMDEN, Maine (AP) - When moviemakers wanted to film "Peyton Place" in this small seaside town, the best-selling novel the movie was to be based on was so scandalous the local library didn't even keep it on its shelves.
The book had sparked outrage with its titillating look behind closed doors in a proper New England town. People read it in secret, and it was banned from many schools and homes.
