The obvious message Pat Shurmur issued on Monday was Davis Webb wasn’t good enough to be the Giants’ future franchise quarterback.
Instead, the Giants kept rookie Kyle Lauletta and journeyman Alex Tanney as Eli Manning’s backup.
“I feel like they are better choices for us now,” Shurmur said at the Giants training facility in East Rutherford.
So much for Davis Webb.
The louder message was that Shurmur and general manager Dave Gettleman will operate the Giants their way and everyone else needs to be on notice to expect the unexpected.
The players on a carefully crafted 53-man roster went through a light practice Monday in preparation for Sunday’s opener against the Jaguars at MetLife Stadium.
