Giants to start rookie QB Jaxson Dart, Russell Wilson benched after Week 3 loss

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

It's the start of a new era for the New York Giants. When the team takes the field in Week 4, it will be led by rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, according to multiple media reports.

Dart will replace Russell Wilson as the team's starting quarterback. The rookie's first start will come against the Chargers on Sunday.

Dart was always expected to see some time as the starter in 2025 after he was selected by the Giants with the No. 25 overall pick in April's draft. Dart put himself on an accelerated program after a strong preseason in which he threw three touchdowns and no interceptions in three games.

Despite the presence of veteran Jameis Winston, Dart's preseason performance was enough to push him into the No. 2 quarterback spot on the depth chart to start the regular season. There were reports that the Giants even had a package of plays prepared for Dart ahead of the team's Week 1 game against the Washington Commanders, but he did not receive playing time in the contest.

1. They should cut Wilson in that case

He's too much of a me me me guy to be helpful as a backup and he'll begin dropping anonymous statements to the press within the week about how dysfunctional the Giants are (true!) and how much they undermined him. Winston is the much better backup solution --but that's a low bar.
