Overview
- The Giants listed Dart first on their unofficial depth chart and are treating him as the current starter during late‑July training camp, not as a distant prospect.
- Coaches have pushed a big increase in under‑center reps — reporter counts showed roughly 60% of some practice snaps from under center — to discipline drops, timing and lower‑body mechanics.
- ESPN analyst Ben Solak and others have criticized Dart’s inconsistent footwork and pocket management, comparing some tendencies to past struggling QBs and urging cleaner mechanics on every throw.
- The staff led by John Harbaugh and offensive coaches Matt Nagy, Brian Callahan and Greg Roman is changing play design toward quicker reads and moving pockets to reduce pressure on Dart and limit high‑impact scrambles.
- Dart’s 2025 output of 2,272 passing yards, 15 TDs and nine rushing TDs explains the optimism, but his concussion checks and willingness to absorb hits make camp reps and the season opener important tests for availability and growth.
