brian daboll shares details on ny giants development plan for jaxson d

Not only is New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll sticking with Russell Wilson as his starting quarterback, but he’s also going to stick with rookie Jaxson Dart as QB2. “He had a good camp. He had a good preseason,” Daboll said in confirming the decision. “Again, for young quarterbacks, you're going to see a variety of things when you first start playing that you need to learn from. Every kind of checkpoint we've had for him in his process, albeit only a couple of months with us, he's done a good job with.” The Giants reportedly had a package of plays ready for Dart, the second of their two first-round picks in this year’s draft, and the one they traded up for to acquire with the 25th...

While Daboll didn’t go into details, Dart’s package of plays could have simply been tailored specifically to handling the offense in the event the score became too lopsided either way, which would have allowed... Although Dart didn’t get a chance to play last week, Daboll praised the former Ole Miss signal caller for his preparation throughout the week. The New York Giants are putting a “detailed plan” in place to handle their crowded quarterback room this summer and develop rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart. Head coach Brian Daboll met with the media on Wednesday prior to the team’s practice. While he didn’t give away any specific details, he explained that he and his staff are following a specific plan for their quarterbacks. “We have a detailed plan of how we’re going to handle the quarterbacks,” Daboll said.

No quarterback requires greater care when handling than the rookie. That plan began to display itself during the Giants’ Wednesday practice. Dart took 14 reps during the final team drills, three of those reps being with the starters, per Connor Hughes of SNY. Since a 9-7 debut season in 2022 that earned him Coach of the Year honors, Brian Daboll's fall from grace has been swift and unceremonious. The New York Giants head coach has won just nine of 29 games since then, with his inept team usually crumbling just as fast as he loses his temper at a helpless subordinate trying... Daboll is like if Icarus flew too close to the sun and burned his wings, but also grew furious at everyone for pointing out his mistake.

At some point, you have to take accountability, man! So, with his Giants starting the 2025 season a listless 0-3, Daboll is desperate. He knows he is likely only one or two uncompetitive losses away from the unemployment line. His gambit? Benching Russell Wilson and starting the raw Jaxson Dart, the rookie first-round quarterback who was supposed to sit and learn for most of the year, in an effort to show there's some hope (read:... To be sure, there was no legitimate reason for the Giants to continue riding with late-stage Russell Wilson.

The veteran just finished a primetime performance where he threw the ball away three straight times in a goal-to-go situation. It was no longer about "letting Russ cook" because Russ is, and has for a while, been cooked. The more Wilson played, the more we would've seen his trademark inability to use the middle of the field slowly drain the souls of his Giants teammates. Nonetheless, throwing Dart to the wolves, especially this early, is not the answer for what ails New York. One of the favorite buzzwords of the Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll regime was conspicuously missing Wednesday from the explanation by the Giants for benching Russell Wilson in favor of rookie Jaxson Dart. “It’s my decision,” Daboll said before practice.

We’re going to get him ready to play this week and for the remainder of the season.” Get texts from Paul Schwartz with all the latest Giants news and insights, exclusive to Sports+ subscribers. What happened to the “collaborative” decision-making process? What was the deliberation like with Schoen and owner John Mara? “That’s the direction I wanted to go, and that’s the direction we’re going to go,” Daboll said.

“There are good conversations we had. Those are private, but ultimately it comes down to me.” It took the New York Giants two years GM Joe Schoen called “exhausting” to determine that Dart was the quarterback in whose hands they wanted to place the franchise’s future and in whose hands... There were thousands of man-hours invested. Grinding tape. Riding airplanes.

Staying in hotels. Watching games and practices. Gathering information from anyone and everyone who had insight into two draft classes worth of quarterback prospects. All-Star games. The Combine. Pro Days.

Dinners. Private workouts. Missed holidays and family time. Meetings upon meetings between the front office, coaching staff, and ownership to get on the same page and make the best possible decision. The Giants tried in vain a year ago to trade up in the draft for Drake Maye. They decided to pass on J.J.

McCarthy, Michael Penix Jr., and Bo Nix. They fell into and out of love with Shedeur Sanders. The entire process, one which Schoen said again and over the two years was very specific and had been developed by Daboll more than a decade earlier, finally led the Giants to trade up... 34 to No. 25 in the draft to select Dart. Schoen said it was “gratifying” for the organization “to get a guy that we’re convicted on and we like.”

Then-Giants coach Brian Daboll shares an emotional embrace with quarterback Jaxson Dart following New York's Week 4 win over the Chargers. Adam Hunger / Associated Press The emotional embrace Brian Daboll shared with quarterback Jaxson Dart following the New York Giants’ Week 4 upset victory over the Los Angeles Chargers feels like a lifetime ago. In reality, it hasn’t even been two months. That hug will go down as one of the final feel-good moments of the Daboll era in New York before it all came crashing down. The Giants fired Daboll on Monday, breaking up the Daboll-Dart partnership.

From the moment the Giants traded up to draft the Ole Miss product, Daboll made it clear that Dart was his guy. On their phone call following Dart’s selection, the two exchanged “I love you’s” before Daboll told the young QB, “I’m banking on you.” The Giants' 0-3 start has led to some drastic changes in Gotham. On Tuesday, the team decided to bench Russell Wilson in favor of first-round pick Jaxson Dart heading into Week 4's game. And with Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen's future with Big Blue likely hinging on the success (or lack thereof) of the 2025 season, the head coach and GM hand no choice but to put... Unfortunately for Wilson, he was unable to find the fountain of youth playing at MetLife Stadium — which many expected — and clearly this doesn't bode well for what's left of his NFL future.

Now Daboll and Co. are faced with how long they're willing to ride their new QB1 and it sounds like they're in it for the long haul. According to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, "Brian Daboll confirmed the team intends to start Jaxson Dart the rest of the season; Russell Wilson will back him up." The NFL never sleeps, and neither do the questions. The 2025 NFL Draft might already feel like a relic thanks to the chaos of schedule release season, but that hasn’t stopped New York Giants fans from still picking apart the biggest move of... The New York Giants went all-in to land Dart at No.

25, making a bold play that many assumed had head coach Brian Daboll’s fingerprints all over it. It made sense—Daboll’s reputation as a QB developer isn’t exactly subtle, and the pairing felt too on-brand to be coincidental. Well, Kay Adams didn’t dance around it during her Up & Adams interview with general manager Joe Schoen. She asked what we were all thinking: Who—if anyone—was doing the bidding for Jaxson Dart internally... and why was it Daboll? Adams put Schoen on the spot and asked him if he wanted everyone to believe Dart was "Daboll's guy." Here’s how Schoen answered:

“This was an organizational decision—any player we take is a collaborative process. It’s very detailed, and we believe in it," Schoen said.
