John Mara: Don’t anoint Davis Webb heir to Eli yet
New York Giants co-owner John Mara said Tuesday that he is happy the Giants drafted quarterback Davis Webb, but not ready to anoint him as heir apparent to Eli Manning without ever having seen him take an NFL snap.
"As Bill Parcells used to say, let's not get his bust ready for Canton just yet,” Mara said during an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show.
"Let's let him get on the field, let's let him play in the preseason and develop. If he's the successor that's great. If not, then we'll find somebody else."
The Giants selected Webb in the third round, 87th overall. That’s the highest they have selected a quarterback during the Eli Manning era.
