The New York Giants' potential quarterback of the future isn’t the quarterback of the present. Not even if the improbable occurs and the seemingly indestructible Eli Manning suffers an injury.
Third-round pick Davis Webb is likely to be the Giants’ third-string quarterback this season. Geno Smith or Josh Johnson is expected to be the backup. That will be determined this spring or summer as they battle for that job.
Coach Ben McAdoo all but conceded that the initial thinking is that Webb’s rookie season will be spent as the third-string quarterback, which means he will be inactive and won't dress on game days.
