The suspense is over in New York. Head coach Brian Daboll has officially named the Giants' starting quarterback before any competition between Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and rookie Jaxson Dart.

Brian Daboll faces his last chance to remain as head coach of the New York Giants, and he’s going all in on a revolution in the quarterback room. Following Daniel Jones’ departure, three names are battling for the starting job: Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Jaxson Dart.

Wilson has failed to revamp his career with the Broncos and the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jameis Winston showed some flashes with the Browns, and Jaxson Dart is the long-term bet as a potential successor to Eli Manning.

The big problem for Daboll is that there’s no time to waste in a division like the NFC East. The Eagles are favorites to win another Super Bowl, the Commanders have already found their franchise quarterback in Jayden Daniels, and the Dallas Cowboys can be extremely dangerous with the combination of Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and George Pickens.

Russell Wilson will be the starting quarterback for the New York Giants. Head coach Brian Daboll publicly confirmed the decision during the highly anticipated first day of training camp.

Despite Daboll hinting that it would be an open competition heading into the preseason, the message is clear: “These guys will be out here competing, but Russ is our starter.”
