In the first preseason game? Jeez
That’s the kind of money player I want to see in the regular season!

That's his nickname: Davis "Jitters" Webb.

Well yeah, a young kid playing in the first pre-season game in a brand new offense...why would he be a little nervous? I'm willing to give him a few more chances. In fact, they're all getting a pass from me, because they're all learning.

He knows that if he fails his career could be done. At very least he would unlikely to get another situation where he would have chance to takeover starting job. That’s a heavy load.
Hasn’t helped everyone and their dog talking about the kid like he is the heir apparent. Magnifies those worries even more.
I like Davis Webb but he is a developmental QB prospect and if he finds success it is going to be after a LOT of development time and we will see lots of ugly. If you weren’t expecting that then I don’t know what to tell you.
This team had great (SARCASM) backup QBs like Nassib, Bomar, Lorenzen, Wright, Smith...and some others...it will be fine to stick with the developmental guys. No need to make the same mistake as last year and being in a veteran that takes time from our developmental QBs. These kids don’t get much time and they need to take their lumps.
Let’s see how resilient Webb is.

The man has no left leg. I saw too many throws where his left foot was not out in front of his body; he needs to step into the throw.For a man that spent the entire offseason uploading video of himself working out and going to practice/skill drills, his showing was amateur hour. Let him start next game with the first unit and see if his brain and body decide to work together.

On the flip side, I thought Lauletta looked pretty decent. Be interesting to see how they both follow this up next week. If things don't change, I could easily see Lauletta starting the season as #2

This is what I observed last week with Webb in camp. From what I read, TC witnessed the same thing I did the day after I was there. Can he change this, or is this what he is?

I think it's what he is.. All this talk about how they were satisfied enough with what they saw from Webb to NOT draft a QB in 1st Round. Looking at his play last night they whiffed I would of expected something by little like we saw from Mayfield. 6+ series and 2td passes, made a host of other nice throws showing confidence and running out of trouble to get first downs or kesping plays alive. We didn't see any of that from Webb except for the one run when they got the ball on the Browns 12 from the turnover. Outside of that he showed nothing

Hasn't played a game in like a calendar year. I'm okay with a young, second year QB having some jitters in that situation. Some of this commentary is great for nostalgia though, as I feel like I'm on the old board.

It is completely illogical to write the kid off after 2 quarters.

Several of dropped passes to He didn't look all that bad to me, I forget what Carl Banks said....but something in the way of a timing issue, still like to see him with the first team, he just needs more time like most do.

Pretty much every throw was high and a rocket but as others noted the reads were right except for one he tried to squeeze in. He needs to relax and take a little steam off here and there.
It wasn't a good showing but still 3 more preseason games to see what he's really got.

He looked like a classic case of a rookie trying too hard, think right before the half.....didn't they shorten his passes? he did a little better, I though.

I remember Eli having a whole lot of jitters when he first entered the league. I knew this young man was going to be crucified today.

Oh Lord, it's not like he's been a starter either. we all know since Eli has been the QB of this team, the Giants haven't done much in the way of the QB spot. I'm not defending the guy so much, because he did look bad last night, but what else are they going to do?...….. we're stuck until the Eli days are over.

Call it for what it is, he was terrible.. Over throws, throwing lasers when the receiver was 5 yards away. Eyeing his receivers, not going through his progressions. His best play was when he was taken out. He has a ton of work ahead of him.

Really pulling for the kid to be good. Very likable, high character kid, but you have to have more than just apparent work ethic and leadership qualities. Not encouraged. Next week he won't have the jitters excuse. We will see.

A good backup is a massive luxury. They barely exist in the league. Much bigger fish to fry. The Giants should not spend another red cent on the QB position. Eli goes down you play Webb and/or Lauletta and figure it what you got for real do you can actually make decisions...can’t bury them on the depth chart and exclude from game planning forever. But this team has had terrible backup QBs for all of Eli’s tenure. Geno was probably the best LOL

Geno was probably the best LOL I don’t disagree about our handling of the backup QB position in the past - we rolled the dice on Eli’s durability. I thought that it was a bad idea then, and I think it’s a bad idea now (worse now that Eli is 37). I disagree that a competent backup is a luxury ... in my opinion, it is a necessity. If Eli goes down for a few games, we need to have a guy that would at least give us a chance to win some of those games. Webb’s play last night was not near that level.
