Webb unlikely to play in 2017-18 season

Even Davis Webb’s supporters weren’t generally willing to say that he was ready to step right into the NFL as a starter; he’s too raw and too inaccurate, regardless of how big his arm is.

Despite how disappointing it may have been to Webb himself, falling to the New York Giants in the third round and becoming Eli Manning’s heir apparent looks to be a good thing in the long run. Webb could potentially back up a Super Bowl winner for a few years, soak up all the knowledge he needs and step into the spotlight after a little maturing.
