00:00In 2025, general manager Joe Shane and head coach Brian Dable went back to the well with the selection of Ole Miss' Jackson Dart with the 25th overall pick in the draft.
00:09The Giants had signed Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston as safe, veteran options until Dart was able to handle the rigors of the NFL.
00:16When quarterbacks as mercurial as Wilson and Winston are your safe options, that tells you a lot about how unbalanced things have been for the Giants at the game's most important position.
00:26Dable named Dart the starter in Week 4 after Wilson struggled mightily against the Washington Commanders and Kansas City Chiefs and only looked credible against the Dallas Cowboys' all-time horrible defense.
00:36Dart's first start came against the Los Angeles Chargers in a Jesse Minter-led defense that has put quite a few veteran quarterbacks in the blender.
00:43Dart responded with 13 completions and 20 attempts for 111 yards and a touchdown, and he also ran for 54 yards, another touchdown, and 5 first downs on 10 carries.
00:54Per next-gen stats, Dart became the first rookie quarterback to beat a team with a 3-0 or better record in his first career start, the Giants won, 21-18, since Phil Simms led the Giants past the 5-0 Buccaneers in 1979.
01:08Dart also became the first quarterback since Patrick Mahomes to lead his team to an 80-plus yard touchdown drive on the first possession of his first career start.
01:15Dart orchestrated a 9-play, 89-yard touchdown drive on New York's opening possession, which he capped with his retching crushing touchdown.
01:22Dart had his struggles against the New Orleans Saints in a 26-14 Week 5 loss, but his performance against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6 might have been a bit of a coronation.
01:33In a 34-17 upset blowout, Dart completed 17 of 25 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown.
01:39When the Eagles blitzed him, Dart completed 9 of 13 for 99 yards and a touchdown, compared to 8 of 12 for 96 yards, facing 4 or fewer rushers.
01:48So whatever the Eagles threw at him, Dart threw it right back.
01:51Dart also had 58 rushing yards on 13 attempts, 46 of those yards and a rushing touchdown, coming on 6 scrambles.
01:58Moreover, Dart was making big-time throws all over Vic Fangio's defense.
02:02Dart was a bit of an underrated deep passer coming out of college, but in the 2024 season, 17 passing touchdowns of 20 or more air yards.
02:11And down to his two best receivers in Malik Neighbors and Darius Slayton, Dart was left to make big plays to the likes of the delightfully named Lil' Jordan Humphrey, which he had no problem doing.
02:21It's early yet, but the Giants may have succeeded with another Ole Miss quarterback, as he did with that Manning guy in 2004.
02:28Let's go.
02:30Let's go.
