We have a skinny little QB from Richmond who lacks arm strength and has never seen true game action....and Alex Tanney.
While Lauletta has potential, he is absolutely nowhere near ready to play in the NFL if Eli goes down in week 1. This alone should've been reason enough to keep Webb. Amazing how so many other teams have serviceable/solid QBs as backups and yet all we have is a rookie with clear development needs.
The season is literally over if Eli goes down.

LOL how many NFL teams have that same issue, but with a less durable QB?

OK, take your choice! 1 - Jump off the Washington or Brooklyn Bridge! 2 - Jump off the Empire State Building with a running start! 3 - Swim the Hudson river, you will sink in the sludge! 4 - Go live in San Fran or Chicago! Quick end!

Webb at least has the frame to absorb a hit or two and could throw the ball more than 20 yards down the field Lauletta doesn't have an NFL arm and I don't care what they say about his accuracy....sometimes you need to throw something else besides 5 yard outs in the flats

There are exercises pitchers do to strengthen their arms and add velocity. The technique was featured on HBO Inside Sports a few years back and is based on the Tennis Swing where there is no "release". It involves weighted balls where the throwing motion is simulated but you hold onto the ball throughout the motion. Lauletta is going to spend this season as the 3rd stringer until the season is dead. I am hoping they do some techniques like this with him. He will never be a strong armed QB, but any strength they add will give him a better chance.

I get it people get upset I was one of them for a minute,lauletta has something you can't teach feel and anticipation now wether he has enough physical skill we will find out, there were a couple articles right after the draft with guys saying that they thought he was a better prospect then Webb and was going to move past him, wish I paid more mind to who wrote them because they knew it from the start, people like the big arm big kid I liked him he works hard but so does Lauletta he is the same kind of guy he's a giant I'm rooting for him.

My point is that he does have an NFL arm. He's not Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady but he can still throw it well.
I think arm strength is a bit of a red herring with this kid.

Webb had some issues in the pocket that this kid seems not to have.

I was/am a fan of Webb but he had almost zero real game experience too. Also how many teams in the NFL have viable B/Us?....3 or 4 maybe. The back up QB is very rarely a position that means much. Unless its a developing kid with big promise.

If this happens again, at least we won't draft another running back.

I’m going to go way out on a limb and trust Pat Shurmur with this one.
People are so quick to forget that Shurmur made it very clear early on that there was no depth chart behind Eli.
Now everyone just assumes it was Webb’s job to backup Eli.
Here’s the reality. It was only Webb’s job in your mind.

The only real complaint is there is no upside with Tanney - who has been named the backup for Jacksonville. If things go how they tend to go in the league then Tanney will hold down the backup spot and Lauletta will hardly even dress and be relegated to scout team. I hope he cracks in as the #2 ASAP but in my mind they shouldn’t even wait. Gettleman should take this one out if he coaches hands and just cut Tanney and tell the coach to get Lauletta prepping for games. We don’t need Tanney taking any snaps for the Giants this year.

Everyone ripped the team last year for not giving Webb a chance when the season became a lost cause. This new regime gave him every opportunity to win the #2 job, and he didn’t. Time to move on.

As of today: NFL snaps in a real game:
Webb - Zero Lauletta - Zero Game e xperience with Shurmer's new Offense:Webb - 4 preseason games.. same as Lauletta Practicing with the second string for two years under McAdoo gives Webb no advantage. I think Lauletta will be as equally unprepared as Webb would have been.

Am I missing something? Did anyone forget what they saw during the preseason? I could understand if the guy lit it up, but he had 2 horrible games and 1 decent one. Yes, there was some stuff about how hard he works and that he's the first one in the building, but his performance wasn't that great. Honestly, I believe the most telling was the cleveland game. He never got his head straight in that game. It was one mistake after another, after another. He should have been able to let all of the work and preparation that he's known for take over and keep his head. To me, he was visually flustered. He pressed. That's not good for a QB and it felt like that was the different between him and Lauletta.
Lauletta didn't exactly light it up either, but I never got the same feeling I did while watching Webb. It's great that he's got a cannon and can throw it all over the field, but if start playing poorly and can't get your stuff together, you get what everyone saw against cleveland.
Either way, our back up QB situation is the same as about 70% to 80% of the league. Neither of the two would have changed that and the Coaching staff/FO felt their time is better spent giving Lauletta the work instead of wasting it on Webb.

Really, no different than the situation with Gino and Webb last year. And, if McAdoo had played Webb instead of Gino, at least we'd have some clue about Webb. So, get Lauletta ready. Tanney doesn't give us a much better chance of winning.
