The New York Giants are banking on rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart to follow in Josh Allen’s footsteps and help secure head coach Brian Daboll’s future. Daboll, who earned his reputation as a quarterback guru in Buffalo, is now facing a critical challenge: turning Dart into the next big thing. With limited success under Daniel Jones, Daboll’s job hinges on Dart’s development, and the pressure is on to prove his system works with a new quarterback.
After trading up to grab Dart in the first round, the Giants are clearly committed to his growth. With veterans like Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in the room, Dart has a solid support system, though his path won’t be easy. His college offense, which relied heavily on play-action, is a far cry from the NFL’s pro-style systems, and his tools aren’t as polished as those of Allen when he entered the league.
Still, the Giants aren’t rushing Dart. He’ll likely spend his rookie season developing behind the scenes, getting reps in low-pressure situations to build his instincts. Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen have both hinted at a carefully crafted plan, ensuring Dart has time to grow into the role. While there are questions about Dart’s mechanics and adaptability, one thing is clear: the Giants have a long-term vision for their young quarterback, and they’re ready to see it through.
