New York Giants: Davis Webb Is The Quarterback Of The Future – Here’s Why

When the New York Giants drafted quarterback Davis Webb out of Cal in the third-round one year ago, the consensus was that he would be another backup signal caller destined for a life behind Eli Manning and his predecessor. Webb has effectively take that narrative and blown it to pieces with his non-stop desire to improve and make the most out of his career as a professional football player.

With every passing binder Webb manages to fill out with notes, tricks, and daily knowledge on how to conduct himself on the field, the product he displays becomes incrementally more impressive. This offseason, he’s brought a new game to the Giants, something that wasn’t visible in 2017 but is becoming more apparent in 2018.

How good has Davis Webb been in New York Giants training camp?

We all remember hearing the interceptions, missed passes, lack of knowledge in the pro-style offense arguments against Webb. He used those points as fuel to improve in every aspect of the game – learning from under center, becoming more accurate and mobile under pressure. His skill-set has quadrupled over the course of one offseason, and as Giants fans, we should be ecstatic he’s willing to dedicate every day of his life to succeeding Eli Manning as our franchise quarterback.

Taking a look at this throw – this is a completion that last year’s Webb would only dream of hitting. That’s a 40-yard throw on the run, towards the sideline to an in stride receiver – giving him enough space to get his feet in bounds. An impressive toss nonetheless.

These are just a few votes of confidence for the young quarterback.

Davis Webb said via Giants.com:

“I think I really worked hard this summer on pocket movement and escaping, and avoiding the rush, and throwing on the run. That’s something I really try to enhance – throwing on the run once the play breaks down; getting out of the pocket.”
