New York Giants Start Rookie QB Jaxson Dart, Replacing Russell Wilson

The New York Giants have named rookie Jaxson Dart as their starting quarterback for Week 4, replacing Russell Wilson after a disappointing start to the season. Head coach Brian Daboll made the decision independently, aiming to go "down swinging with your guy" and hoping Dart's confidence and understanding of the offense, which has been ahead of schedule, will spark the team. Dart, a first-round pick from Ole Miss, has already broken several college records and is considered a promising talent, with his former coach Lane Kiffin praising his leadership and skill. The Giants' move has also boosted Dart's market presence, with increased sales of his rookie cards reflecting heightened interest. Comparisons have been made between Dart and Patrick Mahomes, with Giants assistant coach Mike Kafka noting Dart's confidence as a key trait. Despite the high expectations, immediate results will be crucial for Dart and the Giants, who are eager to end their 0-3 start and revive their competitiveness.
