Giants Bench Russell Wilson, Hand Starting Job to Rookie Jaxson Dart

Brian Daboll cast the quarterback change as his call alone, with reports he bypassed coaching input before turning to the first-rounder.

Overview

  • Dart will make his first NFL start in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers after the team moved off Wilson.
  • Daboll told reporters the shift was his decision, emphasizing that the choice ultimately came down to him.
  • Reporting indicates he did not consult his offensive staff before the switch and spoke only with players in the locker room.
  • The move is being read as a high-risk play tied to Daboll’s precarious job status following a prolonged skid in results.
  • Analysts warn the rookie faces a demanding stretch against strong defenses, including the Eagles, Broncos, 49ers, Packers and Lions.
