The New York Giants’ entire season will be built around the team’s timetable for first-round quarterback Jaxson Dart to enter the starting lineup.
Team brass has been adamant veteran Russell Wilson is the starter and the coaching staff will continue with Dart’s development.
Anyone looking at the situation understands there’s no future with Wilson behind center. He’s a stopgap that didn’t work in Denver with the Broncos or as part of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Dart thrilled throughout the preseason. He looked far more ready for the pro game than expected. To be fair, preseason is the key word when discussing what’s been seen to date. The Giants don’t want to rush him into the lineup, which is understandable.
At the same time, the G-Men now have some exciting young pieces to build around in Malik Nabers, Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Abdul Carter. Eventually, they have to see if Dart is worthy of being another building block.
