Davis Webb came prepared for the Eli Manning questions<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Davis Webb came prepared for the Eli Manning questions:-Davis Webb knows this has not gone well, and he promised to rectify the situation as quickly as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

No, the disappointment he is feeling has nothing to do with football. The 22-year old rookie quarterback has gone unshaven for a few days and is dismayed with the image he sees in the mirror. The beard has not grown in to the standard he set for facial hair, and so it will soon be gone.<\/span><\/p>\n

If only everything in life could be solved with some water, shaving cream and a sharp blade.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been an unbelievable experience for me,\u2019\u2019 Webb said Tuesday. \u201cI\u2019m living my dream. I\u2019m in the NFL, not many people get to say that. And not many people get to say they get to learn from one of the best quarterbacks to ever play this game. The things he\u2019s accomplished for this franchise and the things he\u2019s helped me, in my short time here, I\u2019ve learned 100 things in one minute from Eli.\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

A few minutes earlier, as Eli Manning spoke, the media encircled him listened intently \u2014 until Webb made his way to his own locker, adjacent to the area Manning has inhabited for years. Then, the group splintered, with a good share of the crowd shifting to Webb. It is not yet out with the old, in with the new, but there are rumblings as the Giants continue to lose, and it has sparked a situation that likely is uncomfortable for both Manning and Webb.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manning remains the franchise quarterback and will make his 208th consecutive regular-season start Sunday \u2014 tying him with older brother Peyton for second on the all-time NFL consecutive start list \u2014 as the 1-7 Giants face the 0-9 49ers at Levi\u2019s Stadium. Ben McAdoo has no plans to be the one to end that streak, but he has opened the door for Webb to get some action in the second half of this long-lost season.<\/span><\/p>\n

McAdoo on Monday, the day after a hit-rock-bottom 51-17 loss to the Rams, said, \u201cEli, he\u2019s our quarterback. But that doesn\u2019t mean at some point in time, we won\u2019t throw another guy in there to get a look at him.\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Geno Smith is the backup and Webb has been inactive for all eight games, but McAdoo is not talking about the veteran Smith when he mentioned throwing \u201canother guy\u2019\u2019 into the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Webb, a third-round pick from California, has upside, and the Giants need to know what it is as they \u2014 unexpectedly, to be sure \u2014 are headed for a high \u2014 possibly top-three \u2014 pick in the 2018 draft. Up so high, they need to strongly consider a top-prospect quarterback, with Manning\u2019s age (36) and performance beginning to become a factor. That is why the coaching staff and front office \u2014 even if they are all swept away in an end-of-season purge \u2014 must find snaps for Webb to better understand his potential.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manning wants no part of stepping aside. Webb? He is not going there.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI want to be a great teammate first, work really hard and continue to put hours in learning this offense and the NFL game,\u2019\u2019 he said. \u201cI\u2019m here to help people win, that\u2019s my role on the team right now.\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Webb has not played in a game since leading the Giants on a game-winning field goal drive Aug. 31 in New England in the preseason finale. That is a long time ago. If he gets in a real game, how ready could he be?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t answer that question,\u2019\u2019 Webb said. \u201cI just can\u2019t. I think I\u2019m a good player and I\u2019ve played football since seventh grade. At the same time, my job, my role on this team is to be a great teammate and be the best teammate I possibly can be. Whenever my number does get called, whether that be 10 years from now or never, I want to be ready.\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Webb said he can answer whether or not he would be confident if he got the call, but wanted to make sure his response was not misconstrued.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s an easy question,\u2019\u2019 he said. \u201cI\u2019m confident in everything I do. It can be playing checkers, I\u2019m confident. So don\u2019t blow that out of proportion, because that can be a question that can be deceiving.\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

As he waits, Webb says he is \u201cvery thankful\u2019\u2019 to have Manning as a mentor.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s not one person that sets the standard better,\u2019\u2019 Webb said, \u201cto be a New York football Giant than Eli Manning.\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n
