Thereâs no doubt the start of the NFL season hasnât gone as expected for the New York Giants â especially after the excitement surrounding the arrival of Russell Wilson. Following a disappointing 0â3 start, Brian Daboll has made a bold move: the Giants will open Week 4 with Jaxson Dart as the starting quarterback against the Chargers.
While it was a move that could have been anticipated, the veteran quarterback wasnât expecting it. That said, the level of play â not just from him, but from the entire team â was undeniably poor through the first three games.
Following the head coachâs confirmation that the former Ole Miss quarterback will start next weekend, Wilson took to social media to share his thoughts â posting an interesting quote in response.
ââAnd we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.â Romans 8:28,â the QB stated via @DangeRussWilson.
Keep working hard
Itâs hard to believe that a player of Russell Wilsonâs caliber â even with a Super Bowl title under his belt â would be replaced on any team. However, Brian Daboll has decided to move forward with Dart, and the former Seahawks and Broncos quarterback knows he must stay ready in case his number is called.
