Webb, drafted in the 6th Round last year (199th overall) did not get the start tonight but played the majority of the game, looked a bit overwhelmed by the moment tonight at the University of Minnesota's football stadium.
Webb threw a couple picks and had a low completion percentage but let's take that with a grain of salt, the Vikes were way down and had no choice but to have the inexperienced (6 NFL snaps) Webb throwing the ball on virtually every down.
To his credit, Webb had a nice scramble for a touchdown.
Here is what I don't get though. Brad Childress made all the personnel decisions for the Vikes over the past few years and he did so with Brett Favre as the QB. Funny thing is that there wasn't another pocket passer anywhere on the Minnesota depth chart. So basically, if Favre got hurt (as has happened a bunch this year) the backup doesn't really play the same style of QB. Just odd if you ask me.
Look for Webb to get the starts for the rest of the season. Their season is over and this guy CANNOT be worse than Tavaris Jackson.
This poor guy is going to be so confused. Childress drafted him as a wide receiver. He played WR at UAB and also led then NCAA in rushing as a QB? WTF, how do you do both things? So not he is going to start throwing passes to himself. On another note, the Vikings did make history when they drafted him.. They are the first team in NFL history to have 2 black QB's on one team! Way to go VIKES...
