Giants' fans are hopeful they've found their QBOTF in Jaxson Dart, but Dart will need to curb his appetite for running with the football and sustaining injury. In eight games played, he's the most proficeint of all rookie QBs with 10 TDs versus just 3 picks, a 93.5 NFL Passer Rating and 71.5 PFF grade. Further, Dart has scrambled for a Josh Allen-lite 317 yards and 7 TDs. We look forward to 2026 when Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo return to action.
Offensively the Giants are a middling 15th ranked with 333.2 yards generated per game. The passing game is hampered by poor OL play, which has surrendered 33 sacks through just 11 games, an average of 3 per game. Dart's 23.6 Pressure-to-Sack percentage is the NFL's 2nd worst behind Cam Ward.
We're targeting OT Francis Mauigoa here with ROT Jermaine Eluemanor hitting free agency after the season. Still, the pressure damage in the Giant's OL is primarily the fault of the two Guards Greg Van Roten and Jon Runyan, who are credited with allowing 22 and 24 pressures, respectively. LT Andrew Thomas and Eluemanor are at just 10 and 12. Expect interior OL help early in the 2026 Draft to help keep Dart clean in the 2026 season. Also expect the team's head coach in 2026 to be
tasked primarily with the development of Dart.
