Are winless Giants ready to start Jaxson Dart over Russell Wilson?

For the second time in three weeks, New York Giants starting quarterback Russell Wilson produced a dud as his club fell to 0-3 on the season via a 22-9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night. 

Following that defeat, Giants head coach Brian Daboll had an opportunity to declare that Wilson would remain in the lineup for New York's Week 4 matchup versus the 3-0 Los Angeles Chargers.

Brian Daboll noncommittal about QB1 plans

"You guys have asked me about players after games," Daboll told reporters during his postgame media availability, per Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. "I’m not going to answer that." 

Wilson passing for 450 yards and three touchdowns in New York's Week 2 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys now seems to have been nothing more than a mirage. He completed 17-of-37 passes for 168 yards in the club's 21-6 Week 1 defeat against the Washington Commanders back on Sept. 7. He then connected on 18-of-32 pass attempts for 160 yards with no scores, two interceptions and one awful red-zone trip versus the Chiefs. 

Giants fans at MetLife Stadium booed the offense on multiple occasions and chanted for rookie signal-caller Jaxson Dart to get more than just an occasional package-snap on Sunday evening. 

"I’d be booing too, to be honest with you, in terms of not being good enough, not scoring, not finishing. I understand that," Daboll acknowledged. "That’s the nature of it. We’ve got to do better." 

Frustrations growing in New York Giants locker room?

Whatever belief Giants players had in Wilson at the start of the month may have already evaporated. Second-year wide receiver Malik Nabers didn't hide his frustrations after he finished Sunday's prime-time contest with just two catches for 13 yards.

"How frustrated do you think? We’re 0-3," Nabers said after the loss, per Dan Martin of the New York Post. "We can’t win a game. It’s frustrating. We can’t win." 

Daboll suggested that the Giants will "continue to" develop Dart while the 22-year-old serves as Wilson's primary backup. As for Dart, he said following the Kansas City game that he is "just trying to be a really good teammate" amid calls for him to rise to the top of the depth chart. 

"This is all kind of new to me," Dart added, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. "I've tried to just take a different perspective. It's hard when the offense isn't playing up to standard."

As of Monday morning, ESPN BET had the Giants as 5.5-point underdogs against the Chargers. One can't help but wonder how that line could change if Daboll announces this week that he's ready to hand Dart the keys to the offense in an attempt to save what's quickly becoming another lost campaign for the organization.
