The question, then, is how to proceed with Dart’s development after 2026. Daboll is the one who banged the table for the Giants to draft Dart in the first place and then start him in Week 4 at 0-3. So he would make the argument that he deserves to continue to develop the QB.

On the flip side, Dart would be better off playing for a coach and a team that has a better understanding of how to manage a roster and games, that drafts better and that puts players in better positions to succeed.

All of that is to say Dart’s future looks bright, but as long as he plays for this version of the Giants, he’ll be subjected to gutting losses — to a lot of losses.
