Stephen A.: Jaxson Dart must look above average to save Daboll’s job (1:03)Stephen A. Smith says in order for Brian Daboll’s job to be saved, Jaxson Dart must give an “indication that he’s being developed.” (1:03)
New York Giants coach Brian Daboll confirmed Wednesday that Jaxson Dart will be the team’s starting quarterback, beginning this week against the Los Angeles Chargers and for the remainder of the season.
Wilson will be the backup this week, Daboll said. He expects the veteran to remain in that role for the rest of the season. Jameis Winston is also under contract but is No. 3 on the team’s depth chart.
Wilson struggled in Sunday night’s 22-9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He threw for 160 yards and tossed a pair of interceptions. There was also an ugly red zone possession late in the contest where he threw the ball out of bounds on fourth down, and he was booed late in the first half after the second interception.
