Better prospect than Tyree. An interesting player. I saw him have a couple great games in college, has a great arm. Big like Josh. Not sure what he has looked like since turning pro, but was a third round pick.

 

Yikes!   He threw four picks in the preseason.    Accuracy issues maybe...:bag:

Because we have already seen him be a disaster?

 

Hah!

 

In general, if you get to QB3, you're probably in trouble, but having a guy in the fold that's got experience running a pro style offense and can get the ball out quickly is probably as good as you can reasonably hope for.

I like the Davis Webb pickup.

 

He's probably as good an option for a disaster backup as you'll find at this point

He's never played in a regular season NFL game. 

 

Webb's college story is an interesting one.

 

He was a big-time recruit out of Texas (high school Class of 2013) and originally committed to Texas Tech's then head coach Tommy Tuberville. Tuberville left after the 2012 season and the Red Raiders hired Texas Tech alum and now Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kinsbury. Kingsbury was able to convince Webb to sign with Texas Tech.

 

That summer (2013), Webb lost the starting job battle to a freshman walk-on by the name of Baker Mayfield. When Mayfield went down with an injury, the true freshman Webb stepped in and did so well that he took the starting job from Mayfield. As a result, Mayfield decided to transfer to Oklahoma.  

 

Going into the 2014 season, the sophomore Webb was named to many preseason award watch-lists and was a dark horse Heisman candidate. More than halfway through the season, he broke his ankle and a true freshman by the name of Patrick Mahomes replaced him.

 

Mahomes would beat Webb for Texas Tech's starting QB job going into the 2015 season. Webb would serve as Mahomes' backup through that season and would earn his bachelor's degree from Texas Tech in just three years. As a result, he was able to transfer to Cal under coach Sonny Dykes as a grad transfer and be immediately eligible.

 

Webb had a very successful single season at Cal, being an All-American nominee and Davey O'Brien Award semifinalist. He won the Senior Bowl MVP and the Giants chose him in the third round. 

 

His NFL hasn't been nearly as interesting. It only took a year with the Giants for them to decide he wasn't good enough and release him.

 

Jets signed him to their practice squad in September of 2018. Spent the entire season with them, being called up to the active roster in November. He's never played a regular season NFL game.

 

Was expected to compete for the Jets' backup job but then Gase signed Trevor Siemian and Luke Falk.

Hmm, maybe. I mean, he was good enough to stick on the 90 man roster. But then again, so was Keith Towbridge.

 

Dodson is not part of the 53-man roster or the practice squad and cannot participate in games, practice, workouts, meetings, etc. 

 

Not sure how that qualifies as "still on the team".

 

When he's released from exempt status and the Bills sign him to the team or practice squad, then I'll believe they're invested in him. Until then, I don't see much evidence.

 

If they weren't interested in him, they could cut him now.

1-10 can be poached by other teams.  111th can’t.

"A practice squad player can not sign with their team’s upcoming opponent, unless they do so six days before the upcoming game or 10 days if their team is currently on a bye week."
