The adjustments at the center of Jaxson Dart’s first-year Giants development
NY Post
So much, so soon, so quickly, so relentlessly.
That is the life of an NFL quarterback and it all seems to happen sooner, more quickly and more relentlessly for a rookie going through it all for the first time.
It all comes at Jaxson Dart fast.
“It does, yeah,’’ he said.
The 22-year old heard that he might not play at all as a rookie, with veteran Russell Wilson signed to handle the job. It took only three games for that plan to get ditched and for Dart to take the reins. Dart was blessed to get to throw to a true No. 1 wide receiver in Malik Nabers, but that blessing lasted only two quarters before Nabers tore his ACL and was lost for the season. Dart had a good thing going with fellow rookie and good buddy Cam Skattebo, but that duo was broken up last week when Skattebo went down with a dislocated ankle.
Dart enjoyed the high of beating the Eagles on a Thursday night and the lows of back-to-back losses in Denver and Philadelphia. Just like that, the Giants are in a familiar spot at 2-6 after eight games as Dart tries to keep his perfect (2-0) record at MetLife Stadium intact when the 49ers come to town Sunday.
