Davis Webb was hopped up a few weeks ago when he played his first game in almost a full year. Imagine how he’ll feel when he plays what might be his last game for another full year.
Webb isn’t thinking about that (he says) as he and the Giants approach Thursday night's preseason finale against the Patriots. Yes, it will likely give him his most extended playing time of the summer and, by default, the most playing time of his career. There’s a very strong chance he’ll start the game. But it’s also the annual “if everything goes according to plan” game for backup quarterbacks, particularly over the past decade and a half with the Giants, meaning that in an ideal world Eli Manning will take every snap of the upcoming season as he has done for the majority of his career.
