Overview
- Kyle Shanahan called Jaxson Dart "extremely impressive," citing his feel for RPOs, elite vision, and knack for off-schedule plays after reviewing the rookie’s film.
- Through five starts, Dart has completed 59.9% of his passes for 984 yards with an 8–3 TD–INT ratio, and he has added 195 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns.
- 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh praised Dart as "uber-talented," saying "I think New York hit on this one big-time" and noting the staff is emphasizing the quarterback’s strengths.
- The Giants visit San Francisco on Sunday afternoon, framing a notable test for the first-year starter against a disciplined 49ers defense.
- Injuries and a thin supporting cast, including Malik Nabers being out for the season and Cam Skattebo sidelined, have intensified calls for New York to add playmakers before the trade deadline.
