Should fans of the Giants want to see Jaxson Dart on the field sooner? Or later?
It will not be too soon, as in Week 1 of the season, considering head coach Brian Daboll already has declared Russell Wilson the starting quarterback. Daboll first made that announcement when Wilson signed, clearing up any possible confusion about whether it would be Wilson or another newly signed veteran, Jameis Winston, occupying the No. 1 slot on the depth chart.
Daboll then reiterated Wilson would be the starter last Thursday night after the Giants traded back up into the first round to get Dart.
If the Giants had taken a quarterback with the No. 3 overall pick, there would have been immense pressure to get that player up and running as quickly as possible. By waiting and taking Dart at No. 25, that pressure is mitigated. Still, whenever there is a young and highly regarded quarterback in the bloodstream, it is as if there is a disturbance in the Force.
