Giants Explore Jaxson Dart Starting After Wilson Struggles vs Commanders

After a dismal 21-6 loss to the Washington Commanders in Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season, the New York Giants are facing mounting pressure to replace veteran quarterback Russell Wilson with rookie Jaxson Dart. Wilson's performance was underwhelming, completing less than half of his passes and failing to lead the offense to a touchdown, which has intensified calls from fans and analysts for a change under center. Head coach Brian Daboll has expressed confidence in Wilson but has not ruled out evaluating the quarterback position, reflecting uncertainty about the team's direction. Despite some defensive highlights, the Giants offense looked stagnant and reminiscent of past seasons, highlighting deeper issues beyond the quarterback spot. While the organization initially planned to ease Wilson into the starting role, many argue that Dart should take over sooner to spark the struggling offense. However, critics caution that Dart alone may not resolve the Giants' offensive woes given weaknesses in the offensive line and running game.
