Giants HC Brian Daboll and QB Russell Wilson downplay the glaring controversy holding back the franchise

After the game, head coach Brian Daboll was asked once again if a transition was in the works. In his most frustrated tone yet, he completely shut down the move to Dart.

"You guys have asked me about players after games," Daboll told reporters, "I'm not going to answer that."

Time for Jaxson Dart

Daboll and many veterans on the Giants were peppered with questions after the game about potentially benching Wilson for Dart in the near future. The possible change isn't an outrageous projection by fans, as Wilson threw for 160 yards with two interceptions and no touchdowns.

The erratic swings in success by the Giants' offense have held back this team in their 0-3 start. Daboll was asked about how he felt about the boos and chants coming from the crowd. Shockingly, he agreed that the crowd had a right to boo them.

"Look, I'd be booing too, to be honest with you, in terms of not being good enough. Not scoring, not finishing. I understand that's the nature of it."

Additionally, Daboll danced around where the team's quarterback situation stands after such a disappointing underperformance by the offense.

"Jaxson's progressing well," Daboll told the media, "We'll continue to work with him. I got a lot of confidence in him. His development that he's had

Understandably, after the debacle from Week 1 when he insinuated they'd consider moving to Dart after Wilson's stinker of a game against the Commanders, Daboll needed to be more careful with his words. It was unlikely that he'd immediately bench Wilson after the loss. However, the lack of transparency when there's clearly an issue only fuels the frustration of the fan base.

Russell Wilson addresses QB controversy

Following Daboll's statements on the offense and quarterback situation, Wilson was asked how he felt about the crowd's desire to see Dart step in.

"I think there's highs and lows and there's always tough moments. You've got to have thick skin," Wilson said to reporters, "[I've] been able to show that throughout my career and obviously last week and everything else too, what we're capable of as an offense. I think that they made a couple more plays on us today. Like, I said, it was a 9-6 game. For the most of the part of the game, pretty tight."

For Wilson, the denial he is in over how he's performed is concerning. While last week's passing production surge was a positive sign for what the team can be, it was not evidence that he's the right man to be leading it.

The sudden boom in huge passing plays was more reflective of Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson's ability to dominate weaker secondaries. Wilson seemed overly confident after last week, as he blindly launched two interceptions against the Chiefs tonight on deep balls.

Wilson has had a decorated and productive career. But tonight's loss was all the evidence needed for Daboll to give Dart the keys to the team.
