The Giant with the 2nd pick of the draft WILL NOT select...

Canton : 1/3/2018 12:40 pm
Quarterback.

That's right fellas. Britt in VA will get his wish, and see all the Eli haters lining up at Best Buy, purchasing your new big screens, after y'all throw your remotes, beer, and mother-in-law's through your set come draft day.

I've been told this morning (leaving the source unnamed for obvious reasons) that the Giants think "VERY HIGHLY" of Davis Webb, with the hope he'd eventually lead this team, in the near future. So it's just a matter of the organization having Gettleman see what they see and adjust accordingly as they go through the process, leading up to the draft.

In 2018 we should see Eli starting with hopefully an improved o-line with Webb backing him up, learning and improving his craft, throughout the season.

So, IF this does come into to fruition, you can bet your "ass" you'll see the Eli apologists lining up on Giants Mount Rushmore, with a little message for all the Eli bashers heh...











I truly hope you're correct and Webb is a stud for the next 13 years  
montanagiant : 1/3/2018 12:43 pm : link
But why on Earth would anyone in the Giants org want this info to get out? It's definitely not in their best interests to show their hand with the #2 pick
as you said  
viggie : 1/3/2018 12:44 pm : link
everything rides on their evaluation of webb. If they think he is better than the QBs coming out or close it would solve alot of issues.
LOL!

Rjanyg : 1/3/2018 12:47 pm : link
I think physically, Webb has all the tools to be a good NFL QB, it is the brain and the instincts that need to be there. As of right now, all we can go on is the college tape and part of the last preseason game from August.

He has already been in and NFL training camp and locker room for 1 year longer than any of the guys in the draft. He has spent a year with Eli in the QB room as well. Do not underestimate the importance of the experience Webb has had off the field.

And just because the 3rd round picks haven't worked out for NYG in the past 8 years doesn't mean Webb can play.
I'm not crazy about going QB  
Motley Two : 1/3/2018 12:48 pm : link
and it has nothing to do with Manning, Webb or any of the players available in the draft.

I just don't think this team is good enough to protect the investment right now.
Wouldn't it be ironic ...  
Beer Man : 1/3/2018 12:52 pm : link
If the only 3rd round pick of JR's that amounted to anything, was his last 3rd round pick.
No question about Webb's arm, brain and work ethic  
SHO'NUFF : 1/3/2018 12:53 pm : link
but how fast and mobile is he? I'm so shell shocked by Eli's lead feet that I'm jumping straight onto the Lamar Jackson train.
Going QB Or Not In Round 1  
Trainmaster : 1/3/2018 12:53 pm : link
Should have nothing to do with Webb. Honestly, he’s virtually a complete unknown. He could be Ryan Nassib 2.0 as far as we know.

The QB or not decision is about:

1) The new GM & HC Plans For Eli (we’ll know at March roster bonus time)
2) BPA / Best Value at the 2nd overall pick

I hope they don’t have to draft a QB at 2nd overall (I.e. they pick Barkley or have hauled in a King’s Ransom to trade down).

Years? I doubt it. If Davis is a failure, the team will be drafting high again, and QBs come out of college every year.

That is a very broad statement and very few would make without consulting. According to the OP, the decision has all been made by whoever and all that is left to do is convince the GM. And that’s without information such as is Darnold coming out. And then you have the owner who wanted to see the young kid play, but never did. Are we to assume he never got to see him play but the few reps he received at end of the year were enough to say he’s our guy no matter what, let’s convince the GM and to hell with what the HC thinks, whoever he may be? Is that how this process you speak of is supposed to work?

There's a hell of a lot more that goes into QB eval than just their statistics - which can be massively skewed depending on levels of competition and talent around them.
They don’t have to give him a shot  
UberAlias : 1/3/2018 1:53 pm : link
That’s not how it works. The new GM and coach didn’t draft him, he’s not their guy. He was drafted as someone else’s project who is no longer here. The new administration will have to assess the roster from the ground up and decide for themselves.
It’s entirely possible that the Giants will eventually decide....  
Big Blue Blogger : 1/3/2018 2:07 pm : link
... that the difference between Webb and the best QB on the board is sufficiently small to justify going in a different direction with the #2 pick. On the other hand, they might still go QB to improve their chances of finding a winner - a variation on Griffin/Cousins, Brees/Rivers, Aikman/Walsh, etc.
Uber's correct  
JonC : 1/3/2018 2:10 pm : link
and there's the stubborn fact that Webb hasn't been able to get himself on the field, remember football is merit based. You don't get handed an opportunity just because you're on the roster.

Three things they did wrong.

First the way it was handled intially with Eli.

Second reacting to the fans after they screwed up.

Three letting Eli play every minute of every game thereafter because they didn't want to offend him or the fans.

They painted themselves into a corner and didn't let the paint dry before they walked across it. Now they got a different kind of mess. The safe bet is to take a QB in the first. Or maybe take one that falls to the second and tell everyone he was a first rounder on their boards.

Over anyone coming out, it will be because Gettleman believes he is the solution; not because the Giants ownership convinced him.

I’m not sure it matters all that much whether the Giants appear...  
Big Blue Blogger : 1/3/2018 3:11 pm : link
...reluctant to move down. What really matters is that multiple teams are eager to move up. Buyers set the market. All a seller can really do is walk away if the offers are unsatisfactory.

Obviously, no seller wants to look too motivated. At the end of the day, though, no potential trading partner really cares how much Dave Gettleman claims to love Rosen / Darnold / whoever. If he’s entertaining a trade in the first place, that line is obviously BS anyway.

Not really. You can't sell the rest of the league that you covet a QB and then simultaneously be willing to trade out of your spot. If you sell QB interest hard, you drive up the cost for the #1 pick, not your own pick.

Giants will take the BPA. Webb will not influence their decision, even though he obviously has the respect of his teammates and ownership.

But if they don't take a QB, it will be because another player was rated more highly. That could easily happen. Rosen could be disqualified because of his injury history, Darnold had a pretty mediocre season, and Allen is raw.

If the new GM had enough time to evaluate Webb(he didn’t). Also we don’t know who the new HC, and OC are so we don’t know if Webb is the right fit for their scheme. We also don’t know if Darnold and Rosen are entering the draft. Gettleman and co. will spend the next 3 months evaluating all the QB’s before making a decision on what to do with the 2nd pick. To say they have already decided that they don’t like any of the top QB’s is an absurd statement to make this far from the draft.

Give me a fucking break. We are not assholes or "haters" because we want to move on from Eli. I don't hate Eli and I never did, but I don't believe he is the guy anymore. I look around the league and see an outrageous number of young QBs outplaying Eli, regardless of situation. That is where your argument fails.

Bullshit. All of those things fall in line behind Quarterback. You people are taking that Gettleman line way too seriously.

This is and always will be a QB league. Without one, you have no shot. The 49ers were awful, and enter JG, who won 4 straight games for them to end the season.

We likely will not see this team have a top 5 pick again for many years, and they do not have to give up numerous first round picks to get a QB. They are sitting in a prime spot to take the QB of the future. Do not overthink this.

and actually played Webb a little or promoted him to 2nd qb after McAdoo (I really hate McAdoo)was shit canned then he would have more reps with a unit other than the scout team. And some fans might feel a little better.




Three things they did wrong.

First the way it was handled intially with Eli.

Second reacting to the fans after they screwed up.

Three letting Eli play every minute of every game thereafter because they didn't want to offend him or the fans.

They painted themselves into a corner and didn't let the paint dry before they walked across it. Now they got a different kind of mess. The safe bet is to take a QB in the first. Or maybe take one that falls to the second and tell everyone he was a first rounder on their boards.


Trade down, get more picks, then this ^^^

What they Giants will do vs what they should do. I have no fucking clue what the Giants will do. Neither does anyone else. Don't you think the new HC will have input? I hate stupid people. They may think highly of Webb, but not enough to even activate him until the last game.

Personally I have zero interest trying to predict what they will do, I am not inside anyone's head. Now I can look at the evidence, both statistical and visual. I can consider the the historical decline of aging QBs in the NFL. I can weigh that against he Giants cap, roster and draft position. I can even take into account an entire new coaching staff and front office. Consider the team's 3-13 record and draft position and conclude it is a good time to draft the team's future QB and build the team around that player's strength rather than a 37 Year old, declining QB. That does not mean I know what the Giant's will do. Teams do not always do the right thing.

(nothing)

I don't consider myself an Eli Apologist, I just think its easier to call myself a Giants fan. When I think of people who watched this season and hear what Eli has to say, how much he wants to play here and is loyal to this organization...the basic fact that he's the best example of a pro athlete and how they should conduct themselves on and off the field....I just don't have any clue how the Eli Hater exists. The Giant Fan Eli Hater. Asshole.



Give me a fucking break. We are not assholes or "haters" because we want to move on from Eli. I don't hate Eli and I never did, but I don't believe he is the guy anymore. I look around the league and see an outrageous number of young QBs outplaying Eli, regardless of situation. That is where your argument fails. I don't have to stand by Eli no matter what, I am a Giants fan, not an Eli fan.


I am sick of the bullshit too. I am not an Eli hater and never have been. I think he is the best QB to ever play for the Giants. The only Giants jersey in my closet is 10. I admire the shit out of the guy. I do not want him gone, I think all of the factors involved make it TIME to move on.

you are totally right. Ridiculous logic around these parts.

Maybe there are people who never liked him but you can be a big fan of his body of work and recognize his play does not move the needle anymore.

And people are taking that line way too literally from DG.

If Webb were in this draft, you guys think he would be a top 5 pick?

So, if the Giants were to make it known they would entertain offers for Webb, they would only accept an offer that provided more value than any of the current crop of 2018 quarterbacks are commanding?

I don't buy it.

Webb was a 3rd round pick for a reason. And it's likely that the reason Webb didn't play a single snap this season is the same reason that made him a 3rd round pick.

The only two prospects worth the 2nd pick that meet any of those criteria are Barkley and Chubb.



. They are sitting in a prime spot to take the QB of the future. Do not overthink this.


What if the QB of the future is already on our team?

Is that what you believe? That Webb is going to turn into a star player? I think the chances of him being anything more than a career backup are slim. He was a late 3rd round pick in a bad QB class.

If the Giants were so high on Webb, then why was he inactive the entire season until the last game of the year in a 3-13 season. This is nonsense. The Giants have the 2nd pick in the draft, and do not have to trade anything to get a QB. One is there for the taking.

You can disagree with me all you want, I don't care, but there are a bunch of good QB prospects in this upcoming draft. They have flaws sure, but the Giants will likely not see a top 5 pick for awhile, so they should strike now, regardless of their timeline on Eli.
Webb was inactive cause they basically redshirted him

To learn the fundamentals of a pro style offense behind the center. His focus was to make that second nature and eliminate all habits he'd formed running an Air Raid attack.

Pretty simple. He has everything else.
