New York Giants headlines for Tuesday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
During Daboll’s tenure in the Big Apple, the Giants have gone a meager 18-32 with one playoff win. The last two seasons have been particularly treacherous, with the team finishing 9-25 while sitting 30th in offensive EPA per play. Daniel Jones’ downfall (sub-68.0 PFF passing grades in 2023 and 2024) on the heels of a $160 million extension was one of Daboll’s principal failures.
Playing in a formidable NFC East, the Giants aren’t anticipated to make significant waves in 2025. If Big Blue can win at least seven games, it may be enough for Daboll to keep his job — especially if Dart offers promise by the end of the season. But if 2025 finishes similarly to 2024 for the organization, then a cleaning of the house will be expected.
When can we expect to see Jaxson Dart as the Giants quarterback? The Giants would be wise not to throw the rookie into the fire anyway, not with their brutal schedule to start the season and one of the worst offensive lines in football to play behind.

Jaxson Dart, quarterback, New York Giants: This is my favorite current bet for this award. The first-round pick is priced at 22-1. That is a great value for a quarterback. The key is that the Giants make Dart the starter early in the season to help him compile the numbers it takes to win the award. There has been no current indication of that happening. Yet, that could change quickly. Dart has been getting a lot of love for his polish and leadership in the offseason work. If coach Brian Daboll, who is entering the season on the hot seat, sees enough in training camp and the preseason to believe the job...
