this is a mistake...not that I don't think he can't be good. Just that its simply because Daboll is on the hot seat and trying to save his own ass then whats best for the young kid.

Sure timelines change but when we drafted him there was no play to start him this fast. You wouldn't have signed both Russ and Winston if you felt he would be ready by week 4.

Super desperate move. He has to hope Dart flashes enough early to allow him to leverage his “QB guru” status to buy him time…

Although everything we’ve seen indicates that QB guru stuff was pure BS with Daboll

Not disagreeing with Duggan, who is probably the best in the Giants biz, but Daboll has done this every week basically.

But here's hoping he does the right thing with Jameis!!!! :lol:

Not enough people are talking about this but what message does it send to your fanbase and your locker room to take out Andrew Thomas for the rest of the game. He was owning Chris Jones and looked perfectly fine why take him out snap count my ass.

That is how much winning means to the Giants to treat last night like it was a preseason game.

It was BS since day one imo.

The narrative around the league was acting like he took some bum talent and turned him into a stud, but the reality is that he was a generational talent and Daboll was his first coach. That's it. Daboll got the "guru" status for just being in the right place and right time.

Allen has played better as a QB since Daboll has left so yeah....that was all Allen.

Daboll is prob the worst "offensive" guy we had here in a long time going back to the Coughlin days. Even baggy suit Mac was better smh. :lol:

If he was truly on a pitch count and limited to 25 snaps why the hell would we use them all in the first quarter or first half in a must win game? Makes absolutely no sense at all

Haha right, maybe use him in the red zone in the 1st half. Then use him fully. Sounds like 85-86 MJ minutes rules where he was taken out for the game once he reached his minutes, that's the only time I've ever heard of taking a player out for the game.

Not buying the snap count excuse he needs his reps leave him in there idiots. He's physically fine. How is Thomas not mad about this decision or anyone else on the team.

What’s even the point of these Dart packages this early? All the prep time that goes into having Dart practice runs and rpos. Hes probably on the side line thinking about the 3 plays they have prepped for him. It’s all just distracting at this point in the season. They step on their own toes.

I hope I'm dead wrong but I don't think there is any shot that Dart succeeds here. No QB can make it with Daboll/Kafka as his coaches, no weapons outside of Nabers and a GM who has proven he cannot build a team or a OL. He's going to be Zach Wilson 2.0

This just isn't right, IMO. Slayton and Robinson are very capable WR 2 and 3.

There's no real scheme other than "throw the ball to Nabers", but there are weapons. Plenty of teams are getting it done without 3 Calvin Johnsons.

This is like the wilderness years of the Knicks when they were searching for a coach who knew what he was doing

Maybe I'm a mentally beaten up Giants fan but Slayton and Robinson don't impress me. I think Robinson is a decent slot guy with some deep route ability. Slayton is way too inconsistent and hasn't done anything this season. He's not a #2. But I know they are really badly coached and under utilized as well. It's just a **** situation.

I think both of you are right.

1) No QB can succeed with this current staff. Daboll is a horrible coach.

2) We have talent. It's not being put into a position to succeed

This the Daniel Jones situation all over again, but without the support of a Saquon.

Dart will have to be transcendent.
