Pat Shurmur gave the most direct and blunt answer he could when asked why Davis Webb was cut by the Giants.
He just wasn’t good enough.
“I feel like they are better choices for us now,” Shurmur said of the two backup quarterbacks the Giants did keep on their roster, Alex Tanney and Kyle Lauletta.
While it appeared as if Webb was securing the No. 2 job behind Eli Manning all summer, Shurmur said that was simply an outside perception.
“We were trying to figure out who the guys playing quarterback were going to be behind Eli,” Shurmur said.
