That’s where Nagy’s history of running offenses with a similarly skilled quarterback comes in, raising concern. During Fields’ rookie season in Chicago, Nagy failed to fully leverage the two-way quarterback’s elite mobility. The then-Bears head coach often left Fields in straight dropbacks behind a mediocre offensive line rather than calling more designed quarterback runs or plays with a moving pocket, such as bootlegs and rollouts.
Beyond the balance Nagy will need to strike in getting Dart moving and letting him sling it from a stationary pocket, there are concerns about how the offense might perform with a relative lack of weapons. Kansas City’s offense under Nagy struggled in recent years without a strong running back group and more than one standout wide receiver.
The Giants have a better pair of running backs in Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy, but Malik Nabers is the only reliable pass-catcher on the 2026 roster with Wan’Dale Robinson set to hit free agency. Darius Slayton had the sixth-highest drop rate (14%) among receivers with at least 40 targets, and tight end Theo Johnson led all players with at least 30 targets at his position in drop rate (13.5%).
