The guy is basically a rookie, he barely got any playing time last preseason under our jackass former coach and is learning a brand new offense on top of that. Playing in NY has hyped up expectations. The guy has had more interviews than many starters of other teams this offseason. We will see what he does the rest of preseason. Keep in mind, this Browns defense is honestly not that bad, they lost a lot of close games last year due to their anemic offense, not because the D was allowing teams to drop tons of points.
3 training camps, he was drafted last year, this is his second training camp and second preseason. McAdoo gave 90% of the preseason reps to Geno and Josh Johnson last year, Webb hardly saw any preseason action.
Wasn't he drafted in 2017?
agree calling him a rookie is convenient, but I think you're overstating his experience.
And that may end up being the case, but I think it’s a bit early to make that call. If he looks like this in a few weeks I would agree.
I got there late so the first play I saw was Ogletree getting beat for a TD . Apple wasn't impressive that bothers me a hell of a lot more than who is carrying the clipboard this season . Ran the ball well and defended it well .
Seeing Thompson late to the play is similar to last year all
our holes can't be fixed in one season .
Tonight s performance was a long way from Kent Graham, just not the way I had hoped.

Fair enough my friend
Webb missed a couple of throws he's just got to make if he wants to be taken seriously. He works hard, I get it.. he has a good arm, he's a good dude. But there were a couple plays to be made out there and he's just got to make them.
There were a couple of drops - so we have to also be fair. It's a new offense. It's the first preseason game. We can't go nuts over it - but I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed in his performance or felt like he was ready to be a primary backup to Eli. He doesn't look like he's there.
Just relax. His accuracy was high, that's correctable.. He has a live arm with a quick trigger and seems to be confident with his knowledge of the offense. Lets see if he's able to make the corrections.
On the other hand, Lauletta showed some promise.

"You said I came too early, but it was you who came too late!" Premature my ass!
The next four weeks will tell us a lot. It's premature to write him off for a 9-22 performance. He did some good things (more bad) but he wasn't sticking it into to DBs chests - he was overthrowing his receivers.
I know it is in vogue at BBI after the last two years to be "realistic" than "hopeful" but the guy has promise. He needs to calm down and trust himself rather than trying to throw it through the wall.
I'm actually a little disappointed that for a guy who supposedly studies and is a student of the game, he's still trying to force balls into windows that don't exist - an issue Papa has said the coaches have been working on with him for some time?
I'm not going to make the definitive statement that Webb is done because of that one game, but you have to wonder exactly what QB needs an entire redshirt year and then comes in and looks like the worst player on the field? He had decent protection and still delivered the ball poorly.
I say "Premature Evaluation"
I believe he completed log passes in tight windows in camp.
I hope it's nerves/eagerness once he gets live action that could be corrected.
That being said, it was the first preseason game in a high pressure situation(for him). Next game will be very telling for Davis Webb and his future. If he looks the same as he did last night, then we better hope Lauletta has what it takes. I'm not asking for him to be Eli Manning next game, just show improvement. Show the ability to read the defense and make accurate throws, thats it.
I am definitely concerned.
He certainly didn't light it up the previous 3 games either, but the Giants stuck with him and he started game #5.
I was disappointed like the rest of you but I'm willing to give Webb more rope.
I was actually more concerned by his demeanor on the sidelines and his shakey press conference.
We need the "QB Whisperer" to calm the stallion down.

I'm with you. But I guess it explains why McAdoo-doo didn't start him.
Fromm looks like a future top of the draft QB. Would love to have him as well.
