The wild card contending Bills benched Taylor for 5th round rookie Peterman even though the offense averaged over 20 points per week? Will a desperate, about to be unemployed McAdoo do the same in a last ditch hope to try and show his system can work with the right driver?
Desperate McAdont should try something novel, like 15 yd outs and seam passes. 10 yd slants on 3rd and 9 instead of 3 yd slants.
IT'S OVER!
He would play if Eli gets hurt. They don’t want Webb playing this year. It’s really not a difficult scenario.
What's even better is that Jerry traded up to pick Webb who has never taken a snap under center. Think about that. A QB who has never taken a snap under center. You would think that is a prerequisite of being a QB. Reminds me of Bucky Hodges at the combine when he was being laughed at when he attempted to get in a 3-point stance.

Not even remotely accurate. Maybe Webb is a puss?

You are correct. I am mistaken that I thought Webb was picked by packaging one of our late round picks to move up in the third. Of course Webb isn't a puss. That is reserved for your Queen - Pugh. How many games has he missed in his career? How many games this season? Let's list his injuries: Bruised Thigh, Headache, Sprained Knee, and a Sore Back.
What was the competition?
How are the feet?
Pocket presence?
Deep ball?
Dink & dunk offense?
It's not either/or!!! The Giants can still respect Eli & his streak by starting him. Then,at some point in the game they can give Webb some reps as well.The argument against playing Webb is the OL/lack of WRs & McAdoo says they know what they have by seeing Webb in practice. That's total BS, Webb needs to play in actual game conditions. Will it be easy-no but it's important to see how he reacts & plays. None of us thought we'd be thinking about the draft in November,but we are. They have an opportunity to draft their next franchise QB and I'm sure many will say that having Webb on the roster doesn't change that. They're probably right But,going in to the draft,having film on Webb in actual NFL regular season action helps in the process. And,if you don't want to "throw him to the wolves",remember TC threw Eli into the fire & he turned out okay! (PS-Let's start activating him on game days so he has that opportunity!)

tons of college QBs put up stats. Webb isn’t ready, why on earth is that so hard to understand? He was selected to be groomed and potentially be Eli’s replacement in a couple of years. That plan doesn’t just change because he season went to shit. If he can’t play yet, playing him won’t do anything.
That plan was predicated on the Giants being a contender this year and likely next. All that went out the window with this shit season. Now, the Giants are likely to select who they expect to be the next franchise AN and that future may be as early as next season. So, ready or not, they should really be getting a look at Webb in practice and maybe even in some game situations.
So all of you that attend practice just know he’s ready to start taking snaps? I know yet sounds great to just say “seasons fucked just throw him out there” but the nfl doesn’t work that way. If he truly isn’t ready, which all signs point to, there’s no point in throwing him out there. If he was ready to take snaps Smith would be cut and Webb would be the #2.
This isn’t about Mcadoo trying to save his job, which is gone regardless of what happens. It’s a false narrative that’s brought up a lot for some reason.
Of course I do. But most of you are dismissing the simple fact that he hasn’t even surpassed Smith in practice but somehow is ready to take real snaps. Has it occurred to you that he may not be ready for that? And if he isn’t ready, what’s the point of throwing him out there?
Webb being rostered won’t stop us from taking a QB we love in the 1st round. Webb coming in and throwing a TD won’t keep us from taking a top QB in the 2018 draft. IMO there is nothing Webb can do to prevent the Giants from taking a QB should they love one.
Webb redshirting wasn’t just because we’d hope to be a playoff team. He’s red shirting because he’s still learning how to play QB at the pro level. 16-0 or 0-16 doesn’t change that.
To see if he was better than Smith.
I can’t believe I even have to type that.
Playing him hurts nothing in 2017 at this point...

It doesn't help the coaches and player trying to keep their jobs
Obviously they still do not trust the offensive line or the receivers to pass down field. Look at the way Kerrigan man handled both Tackles at times.
He doesn't even dress as the backup.
Some of you refuse to acknowledge what is smacking you in the face.
Yup, I’m clueless. Keep screaming for Webb and crying that he’s not getting playing time when he can’t beat out Geno Smith. Makes sense.
You sound like a winner buddy. Glad you provided such thoughtful insight in this debate.
I wouldn’t want him to but if Webb isn’t ready than why should he play?
This isn’t madden. Throwing players that aren’t ready out there can pose serious consequences in their development and does can be a disservice to thhr other players trying to keep their jobs. I know that isn’t what you want to hear and you can ignore it if you want to, but it’s often times the reality of the situation.
They have a plan for Webb for a reason and that reason is the same one we all knew when he was drafted. It’s as if you think I’m making this up.
