"The fans in the stands who had been chanting his name seemed to like it too. To another query he said: "You get really excited when you are on the field and then you have to calm back down when you are on the sideline." Yeah, Giants fans can relate to that, too. They swelled and crashed each time the rookie quarterback yo-yoed between the bench and the huddle."
"The Giants have a quarterback controversy. Technically they have had one since the spring when despite signing a pair of veterans to fill the position this season they traded up and selected Dart in the first round of the draft. Now, though, at 0-3, the conflict is reaching its crescendo. Unlike Dart's replies in his postgame interview, there are no easy answers. This is a man-made crisis, a self-inflicted turmoil that could easily have been avoided by Brian Daboll."
Jaxson Dart alternates between bench and playing time, expressing enjoyment when on the field and needing to calm down on the sideline. Fans chanted his name and reacted strongly to his intermittent appearances. The Giants sit 0-3, intensifying a quarterback controversy that began after trading up to draft Dart while also signing veteran quarterbacks. Russell Wilson's poor performance accelerated the dilemma, leaving coach Brian Daboll constrained between his plan to let Dart learn and the pressing need for a reliable starter. Daboll's decision to elevate and sporadically use Dart created a self-inflicted turmoil now nearing a critical point.
