Giants Start Rookie Jaxson Dart, Bench Russell Wilson Amid 0-3 Season

News summary

The New York Giants have made a significant change by benching veteran quarterback Russell Wilson after a disappointing start to the 2025 season, turning to rookie Jaxson Dart as the new starter. Dart, a first-round pick from Ole Miss, is seen as the franchise's future, and head coach Brian Daboll expressed confidence in him, with Dart promising to give his all on the field. The Giants face a tough challenge in Week 4 against the 3-0 Los Angeles Chargers, known for their strong defense, making it crucial for Dart to perform mistake-free to help the struggling team. There is debate about whether the Giants gave up on Wilson too soon, as his struggles were compounded by offensive line issues and coaching, yet the leadership is betting on Dart to revive the team's fortunes. Meanwhile, some suggest the Giants should support Dart by trading a pass rusher like Kayvon Thibodeaux to acquire offensive talent, potentially bolstering the offense to ease Dart's transition. Veteran receiver Darius Slayton highlighted the need for patience with Dart, recalling the challenges faced by previous rookie quarterbacks thrown into starting roles too early.
