Assistant QB Coach target Davis Webb elected to keep playing

Sounds like he’ll be named our assistant QB coach in late August.

 

Or the Giants asst QB coach, of course.

 

I'm not sure I buy the idea that he thinks he has a real chance to make the Giants roster..............he hasn't made an NFL roster since his rookie year and has one actual appearance in a real game.........maybe he assumes he will be back on the PS as a de facto QB coach either way..........and prefers to continue to learn from Daboll rather than be with first-timer Dorsey?    

[stuvian]

given the state of the QB market I think Davis Webb should stick it out as a player

[BigAl2526]

I think he has more earning potential even as a backup QB than he has as an assistant coach at the moment.  If he wants it, he can get a QB coach gig after he retires.

My thoughts as well.

 

Even if you take the playing aspect out of it, would Webb learn more under a defensive minded head coach with a new OC on an established team with an established QB, or would he learn more from an offensive minded head coach who now has to remake a team from scratch with his own philosophy, with a QB that's in need of a lot of coaching.

 

There are probably more valuable lessons to be learned for him from the NYG opportunity at this point in his career irrespective of Daboll's success or failure.

He makes $1M per year without a ton of responsibility and a decent amount of job security. The best paid QB coach in the NCAA makes $700k. Why make less money to most likely be home way less with your family. 

Don't forget the offseason for the players is also waaaay different than the offseason for the coaching staff. Webb can watch film from anywhere. Hit the gym anywhere. Get his kids to school. Go to middle school basketball games. Pick up and go on a two week vacation to St. Thomas anytime he wants. Coaches are still in the facility daily. 

 

So I can't imagine why anybody would want to drop 3rd string QB money to go be an assistant to an assistant coach. 

 

 

Fromm was there backup QB#3 last year.  He is likely confident he can beat him for #3 QB if it does not come to salary.

I think he just misses Jake Fromm.

It will still be a path for him in a year or two, so why not take the bigger check and the easier life while you can? I respect his decision, and he’s still going to have the coaching option when his time comes. 

 

He didn’t reject the coaching option, he just delayed it.

Would it be against the rules for him to organize the annual Florida WR-QB summer off-season workout? 

We do not play the Giants this year.

 

Then I really, really want to play the giants this year!

Couldn't get past the idea of having Josh so well teed up for "assistant to the QB coach" jokes.

[without a drought]

He just turned 27, he will still have plenty of time for a coaching career down the road.

Which position did Wayne Gretzky play?  LB?

[HOUSE]

This guy is heading straight to the practice squad where Brian Daboll believes NO TEAM WILL CLAIM HIM..

 

That his his value to the Giants
