The Giants have brought in free agent QB Joe Webb for a visit. The journeyman was with the Carolina Panthers from 2014-16, when Dave Gettleman was the GM there.

They've also brought in QB Alex Tanney as they explore their options in case Daniel Jones' recovery isn't smooth.

He could be PS fodder

Facing Murray and Jackson you need that type of QB

I almost got excited snd thought the prodigal son returns. It has been said no one studies harder and he can throw it over mountains. Davis Webb would have made for a sweet story.
If DJ is going to be out for more than one week

I would put serious thought about calling Kapernick, I think he might be the best QB out there to play our current style from the QB position.

How do you know how he will be? The guy hasn't played in years. That chapter is over.

Thorston is not long imo for the room.
Because playing a WR at QB worked so well for Denver?

This is a precautionary move if Jones is out. Thorson would be the backup to McCoy and Tanney or Webb would be signed to the PS as insurance if McCoy and/or Thorson are exposed to COVID and are ruled ineligible to play.

If any team gets down to their 4th QB they’re screwed regardless of who it is.
Didn't he return punts

I don't know, but still think he may worth taking a look at. He is not old, and I would not be surprised if he still has a decent arms and some legs under him. I know he has played NFL level football better than any of our backups.
It's Covid year and we are in a playoff hunt, he might not have the lowest floor but I do think he has the highest ceiling. Why not look into it. Covid kind of presents the circus being around.

ABSOLUTELY! I'd love to see the Giants give Kap a call up!

Yuck. If I’m calling up a QB who hasn’t played in years, and was past his prime at the time, I’m calling Eli.

Leonard Williams already has the only Giants' helmet that can accommodate Kaepernick's hair though.

Guess you missed the part where Judge said he doesn't want anybody with another agenda on the team or staff. C'mon, tell me how Kaepernick doesn't have an agenda ( gimme a sec while I make some popcorn.)
Even if you like Kaepernick  
Greg from LI : 12/2/2020 6:56 am : link
He hasn't set foot on an NFL field in four years and doesn't know the offense. It's a ludicrous suggestion.
