Good morning, New York Giants fans!
Something is rotten in East Rutherford, N.J. So when is it enough? When is someone in that building going to stand up for a higher standard that demonstrates some sort of pride? What will it take for the Giants to make changes at GM and head coach?
The bigger question is when Mara and Tisch will put their collective foot down and reaffirm a higher standard and set of expectations for this franchise by making changes at the top. Every day that they make excuses for themselves and for Schoen and Daboll is another day that fans lose interest and confidence.
It’s the Giants kitchen. And if people get tired of a kitchen’s same old recipes, they either send the food back. Or they stop coming to the restaurant altogether.
The one who can evoke a difference, a real difference, is a quarterback. And the Giants have one this organization (well, at least the coaching staff) is head-over-heels for.
Dart, the player Daboll slammed every table at 1925 Giants Drive for, has impressed most in the building with his moxie, acumen, and on-field ability since arriving. He was good in training camp. He was stellar in the preseason (32 of 47, 372 yards, three touchdowns, another rushing).
He’s ready enough that the Giants named him their backup quarterback. They’ve given him a package of plays the last two weeks to go out and play. The moment, at no point, has looked too big.
Dart is ready. The Giants, because they predetermined in their minds that Wilson is their starter, haven’t been. They want to follow the Mahomes Plan, the Aaron Rodgers Plan. Sit, develop, then play. But Alex Smith isn’t in front of Dart. That’s not Brett Favre.
