Overview

• The Giants named rookie Jaxson Dart their Week 4 starter, sending Russell Wilson to the bench following an 0-3 opening stretch.
• On Amazon’s Thursday Night Football, Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez said Wilson has "played himself out" of Canton, and ex-teammate Richard Sherman tied Wilson’s peak to Seattle’s "Legion of Boom" while citing losing records since.
• Stephen A. Smith argued that excluding Wilson would be inconsistent if Eli Manning gains entry, and Robert Griffin III criticized former players for tearing down Wilson’s legacy.
• Wilson told reporters he is "not done," called himself a winner, and said he will help the team in his new role.
• Context for voters includes a Super Bowl win, another appearance, 10 Pro Bowls and top-15 career totals alongside just one All-Pro nod and no MVP votes.
