Good morning, New York Giants fans!
The Giants couldn’t justify it anymore at 0-3 with four of their next six games against undefeated opponents. Schoen and Daboll couldn’t justify it anymore with the pressure on them.
Dart is the more athletic option and the Giants’ offense looked different with him this summer. The zone-read and run-pass option comes into play more with the athletic rookie behind center. Schoen and Daboll hope that makes a difference, not only with how the offense looks but also in the win-loss column. And in how the organization’s future is portrayed as well. The futures of the coach and general manager likely hinge on Dart’s instant success.
Daboll has been the architect of an offense that ranks 31st in scoring since the start of the 2023 season. There’s no one left to shift the blame to now that his hand-picked quarterback is at the controls. This is Daboll’s opportunity to prove that the work he did as Josh Allen’s offensive coordinator in Buffalo can be replicated with Dart.
It’s impossible to quantify what will represent success for Dart. But for Daboll, he’s not the quarterbacks coach or offensive coordinator. He’ll still need this move to translate to some wins to justify another season.
This is the risk with throwing Dart out there. Are the Giants going to find their Jayden Daniels, a young star in the making who will anchor their franchise for the next decade if he can stay healthy? Or are they going to end up with their Sam Darnold, a player that they’ll toss aside after failing to develop him properly like the Jets did a few years ago?
Then Dart got to the facility. He blew away the staff and front office with his ability to take classroom teachings to on-field...
