Giants, Brian Daboll were ruining Jaxson Dart in the worst possible way

Dart is a reckless competitor, but it's the team's job to protect him from himself.

He's taken way too many hits already, and that's just unsustainable.

He clearly has the physical traits to be an elite dual-threat quarterback and make some plays with his legs, but he has to look at the big picture.

Through nine appearances (seven starts), the rookie out of Ole Miss has completed 62.7 percent of his passes for 1,417  yards, 10 touchdowns and three interceptions. He also has 57 carries for 317 yards and seven rushing touchdowns.

He's now likely to miss Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers, but that might not be the worst idea.

Going forward, interim head coach Mike Kafka and whoever gets the nod to replace Daboll need to take care of the most important player in the building.
