davis webb

Payasdaddy : 7/10/2019 6:46 pm
sound familiar?
He looked good in gmen offseason too
Gotta admit I did think he would make team last yr

Via Hughes, former Giants third-rounder Davis Webb had an impressive offseason program, so impressive that he apparently jumped Siemian late in the OTA process. Hughes writes that Webb was the second quarterback to take the field during the final set of OTAs.

Hughes adds that the Jets would like to keep only two quarterbacks on the final 53-man roster. Siemian, however, has $1 million of his one-year, $2 million contract fully guaranteed. (He already has earned a $750,000 signing bonus.) So cutting Siemian and keeping Webb (who has a non-guaranteed salary of $645,000) would create enhanced expense and wasted money.

It also would create the risk that, if the Jets need Siemian later, he wont be available. Whether hes signed by another NFL team or by the fledgling XFL which plans to gobble up third- and fourth-string quarterbacks who are cut from NFL rosters Siemian could be long gone if/when an injury creates a reason to bring him back.

Ditto for Webb, who also could land with another team, or with the XFL.

Another option, as Hughes notes, would be to trade Webb, who was regarded as having a bright future before he washed out with the Giants. Maybe that future is getting brighter, whether its with the Jets, another NFL team, or ultimately as one of the eight starters for Vince McMahons resurrected spring league.
that doesnt mean I think he is the next jonas seawright  
Payasdaddy : 7/10/2019 6:48 pm : link
Just that I actually thought he "may" have had a chance to develop
Has tools, just didnt process fast enough? accuracy? feel for game?
you couldn't  
Bill in UT : 7/10/2019 6:48 pm : link
trade him for shit
I like Webb  
PatersonPlank : 7/10/2019 7:00 pm : link
I think he'll have some kind of career in the NFL, maybe a career backup or bottom rung starter type of thing.
AGREED WE COULDNT TRADE HIM  
Payasdaddy : 7/10/2019 7:17 pm : link
Just thought cutting him 2nd yr in was abrupt
they may do same with lauletta it doesnt click fast
would rather keep him vs tanney slight upside at least
I always liked Webb  
Torrag : 7/10/2019 7:25 pm : link
Definitely saw more in him in terms of arm talent and work ethic than I have in lauletta. He should have been the backup last year but Shurmur was instrumental in drafting Lauletta and that's that.
Im still a fan of Davis  
GoDeep13 : 7/10/2019 7:34 pm : link
And I dont think he was given a real chance. He could still be a good QB
He seems to have  
Gman11 : 7/10/2019 7:44 pm : link
all the physical tools, but I'm not sure he can do it mentally. When he was with the Giants I read stories about how he wrote everything down and kept them in binders. It seemed that nothing came instinctively. That, to me, said that he wansn't NFL material.

Maybe he'll tear it up in the XFL.
Webb could well get a shot somewhere and develop  
mfsd : 7/10/2019 7:58 pm : link
but no way he has trade value, unless someone loses 2+ QBs to injury in preseason.

Seemed like he was cut loose bc the new regime didnt draft him (not that Lauletta looked that great) and bc he was quoted in the papers far too often for a backup QB whos never done shit in a real game.

Doesnt mean hes finished, but will likely take injuries for him to get a chance with the Jets

Not sure what the point is.

It's like a Lil' Greg or Ten Ton Crap post but...

I'd rather have Webb than Lauletta at this point.
Was really no point

DavidinBMNY : 7/10/2019 10:23 pm : link
Webb completely blew his preseason audition. He was wild and ineffective when he was given the nod. That is all you need to know. This is not intramurals. You sink or swim in professional football. He sank. Using am excuse like he was over hyped and excited is unacceptable. For one throw sure. One series Ok. One game - get out of here. He is a perrenial backup / coach on waiting.

broadbandz : 7/11/2019 1:05 am : link
Lauletta has more talent than Webb. Lauletta played with a bad knee all last year and can still develop into a good backup. Davis had his time to learn and still shit the bed in preseason.
The words are Florio's

I'm no fan of Lauletta, but Webb didn't play well in the preseason at all (he looked awful). Unfortunately, despite all the press of him replacing email, he couldn't even make the team. It was more Webb's doing than Shurmur favoring Lauletta.

I the only one wondering why every few months there is another thread on Davis Webb? Like everyone else, I wish him all the best, but it has been nearly a year since he was on the Giants. Will we have the same number of threads through this time next year about Lauletta if he is cut at the end of preseason and ends up on another team?

Webb was awful in his time with the team. He couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with the football. This was the same guy he was in college. It should set off alarm bells that for a guy who supposedly worked hard, he didn't improve much with accuracy from college.

Davis Webb will probably never play in an actual NFL game so that is going to be hard. Any other weird thoughts you have?
I'm still on the Davis-Webb-will-play bandwagon.  
CT Charlie : 7/11/2019 1:20 pm : link
His first preseason game was abysmal, but he showed some good flashes afterwards. I think Shurmur really liked Lauletta in college -- and the scramble TD -- so that's why Webb was released. Gut feeling says Webb will ultimately see more NFL action than Lauletta.
i think there is a better chance that Webb catches on as a position

Seems to me that keeping Webb is still cheaper, despite the sunk cost of Siemians guaranteed money.

100% Im hard on the QB. Its the most important position on the field and ultimately the one most responsible for wins and losses in my eyes. Thats not to say Eli is 100% culpable for the Giants recent ineptitude. But he absolutely deserves a disproportionate share of the blame.

No there is no value building there. There is no new tape on Webb since the Giants cut him and every team passed on claiming him for free.

The coaches raved about him last year and look what happened. There is not going to be a market for Webb just because a few coaches praise him once again.

See heres the thing Josh. Youre incessant whining and crying over the Barkley pick than the Daniel Jones pick takes up so much of this hoard when it happened, no one bothered reading another thing of yours. You cried about it before, during, and after the draft.

And your constant bitching of Barkley over Darnold I find HIGHLY amusing since you HATED Darnold before the draft and wanted us to draft Josh Allen. Now Im sure youre going to deny you never wanted Darnold, but everyone on this thread knows its not true. Then you were all over trading for Rosen when again - you didnt even want him before the draft last year.

What was your question? Unlike you, I have no problem acknowledging and responding to statements I've made in the past. And even the statement you're referring to right above, I stand by that today. While I hope like hell I'm wrong, I believe it was an unbelievably terrible pick.

I also stated when we drafted Barkley, I thought he would be amazing, but I also thought it was the absolute wrong pick b/c of position value and how good I expected some of those QB's to be. I stand by that statement as well. You can make fun of those statements all you want and I can still think you're like most typically shortsighted fans.

Actually, I didn't want to draft all of them. I thought when we were drafting at #2 overall in what was considered one of the best QB classes in recent memory with a then 37 yr old QB at the end of his career that we should be drafting our future QB over any RB. But as usual, you will attempt to rewrite history to try and draw an inaccurate conclusion either due to your inability to understand basic team-building concepts or a conscious effort to manipulate the facts. This has predictably become your modus operandi and it's quite petty and pathetic.

Fans need to understand that simply drafting the best player at any position just because you have a need for them, doesn't meant they were a smart (or the right or best) pick. You've got to believe in the player.

JonC : 7/16/2019 2:06 pm : link
in the QB evaluation abilities of the Browns, Jets, Bills, or Cards.

The talk leading up to the draft was many talent evaluators did not hold the QB group in as high of regard at the draft as they did earlier in the scouting season, before complete evaluations were completed. Take it for what you will. The Giants were one of those teams, I shared that here at that time.
JonC....it seems like a lot of these teams drafted the QBs  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/16/2019 2:14 pm : link
based on where they had them before their last season. Drafting on hope of what they can become and not where the evaluations were at. Specifically Rosen and Darnold. I think Baker is the real deal and showed as much on the field and off in college.
And the evaluation for Baker is coming from Dorsey

one out of four ain't bad  
JonC : 7/16/2019 2:22 pm : link
Really, the argument is Darnold or Barkley. At the draft I preferred Darnold, but if NYG didn't believe in him to lead them to championships, then that's it. The rest, time will tell.
I was hoping it was going to be Baker, but as soon as it became clear  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/16/2019 2:26 pm : link
he was going one I was all aboard the Barkley train. You don't just get a chance to draft a sure thing like him too often. Plenty of QBs like Darnold coming out the college pipeline these days.
and that's precisely the point

I'm a firm believer it is about fit as it is about anything else. John Dorsey just made Freddie Kitchens a head coach because of his relationship with Baker. Time will tell if this was a good decision or not, but I understand the thought process.
