A season that was once so full of hope for the New York Giants has now become a guessing game. Quarterback Jaxson Dart hurt his knee on “Monday Night Football” vs. the Los Angeles Rams, and while the initial reporting was encouraging, the injury turned out to be one that ended his season.
The second-year signal-caller showed a lot of promise in a Week 1 primetime victory over the Dallas Cowboys, and people began fantasizing about the heights he and the Giants could reach. But now Dart’s season is over, and the team needs to pivot and evaluate whether it can contend for a playoff spot or more.
New York is oozing with talent on both sides of the ball, and solid quarterback play under a floor-raising head coach like John Harbaugh could keep the team competitive. Jameis Winston is likely to handle the starting duties in the interim, but with his struggles on Monday night and with Dart missing the rest of the season, the Giants need some insurance at the position.
