Starting Jaxson Dart in Week 4 against an undefeated Chargers team, a week before the Giants travel to winless New Orleans, is a desperation move that benefits almost nobody. Jameis Winston should be starting this game for Big Blue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Instead, Brian Daboll is kowtowing to the boo birds of New York\/New Jersey and the desires of an ownership group that hasn’t gotten anything right for the better part of a decade. <\/p>\n
I want to see Dart succeed as much as anyone, but his career is going to get off to a rough start. Let’s stop doubting the Chargers, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Traditionally, a cross-country flight for a west coast squad, with a 1 p.m. ET start, is ripe for a letdown. In this particular case, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is playing at an MVP-caliber level early in the season, while the Giants really are that bad.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aside from the overtime loss to the rival Cowboys, New York has been pretty much controlled by its two other opponents. The Chargers are the best all-around squad on Big Blue’s schedule through four weeks. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, there’s no reason to believe in the Giants offense yet, even with Dart set to take over for Russell Wilson.<\/p>\n
