I still do not understand it.

He'll be back here as a coach one day.

LOL !!!!!!

Sean Peyton mentioned that at one point last season it looked like he was going to lose his coaching asst. to the Giants when Jones was hurt.
In that small chat between those four people, did anyone else notice how clueless Jones was?
He's about as sharp as a spoon. No wonder he didn't understand Daboll's game plan.

that he can’t just go and be a player there are NFL rules prohibiting coaches being players. But it sounded like Webb wanted to come and play.

Couldn't have resigned from his coaching job and be signed as a player? That rule might be to prohibit the "player-coaches" that once existed but does that say if you start a season as a coach, you have to remain a coach?

bereft of ideas.

not sure why everyone seems surprised/disappointed by this. Webb knows the system and played well in his only start in 2022, against the starting Eagles defense.

Sy'56:

-Davis Webb: 23/40 – 168 yards / 1 TD- 0 INT / 75.8 RAT / 6 att – 41 yards / 1 TD

Such a feel-good story here for a kid drafted in the third round by NYG near the end of the Eli Manning era. The future coach has been waived five times since 2018, never started an NFL game, and had never thrown a pass in a regular-season game. That all changed as he took on the #1 seed Eagles in a game NYG was resting the majority of the entire offensive line and starting skill position players matched up against a defense that was throwing the entire starting lineup on the field. Talk about a tall order!

Webb earned the respect of everybody in this one. He was under pressure for most of the game but responded with zero turnovers and avoided taking one sack. His internal clock and escapability were the top two traits I saw out of him. Nobody is going to mistake Webb for the athlete Jones is, but he has such a good feel for when to take off and run. This game was a prime example for young QBs to see just how valuable it is to get the ball out in a hurry when an offense is overmatched. Webb took what the PHI defense gave and ended up scoring two touchdowns, one on the ground and one in the air. He may never get this opportunity again and I’m glad this lone career start went the way it did.
Game Review: Philadelphia Eagles 22 – New York Giants 16 - ( New Window )

First of all, using "savior" when describing a third string quaterback or a street signing for a 2-8 team really doesn't fit. And looking at the situation... with Jones and Taylor out - there wasn't much reason to expect anything from DeVito, and Webb knew the system already... so the fact that they saw him as a better option than Matt Barkley coming in cold really shouldn't be confusing or surprising to peaople.

(as pointed out by Eric above)

True that.

but the Giants still gave Jones a big contract.
