Things have been just a bit busy around the New York Giants over the last couple days.
The Giants made the decision we all knew was coming and named rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart their starter for the remainder of the season. The decision to start Dart has come a bit earlier than expected, he will be their starting quarterback against the Los Angeles Chargers.
We had originally planned on asking the Big Blue View community which quarterback they wanted to start the upcoming game, but Brian Daboll answered that question for us. So now that the decision has been made, we want to know how excited you are to see Jaxson Dart make his first start.
The Giants traded up to 25th overall to select Dart and expect him to be the future of their franchise. He was one of the most prolific passers in college football last year and put his name in the Ole Miss record books next to Eli and Archie Manning. Dart also had an excellent preseason in which he surpassed fans’ wildest expectations. There were calls for Dart to be the Giants’ Day 1 starter thanks to his preseason line of 32 of 47 pass attempts for 372 yards and 3 touchdowns to no interceptions, as well as 6 carries for 52 yards and a touchdown.
The Giants insisted that he wasn’t quite ready yet, though he was close enough that he was named the primary backup.
So now the question has become: How excited are you for Jaxson Dart’s first start?
