Russell Wilson? Jaxson Dart? Giants' Brian Daboll 'evaluating everything' at QB after 0-3 start

Copied!

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Coach Brian Daboll on Monday was noncommittal about who will start at quarterback for the New York Giants in their next game Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Unlike after the season-opening defeat at Washington when he was clear Russell Wilson would keep the job, Daboll this time declined to rule out making a change to either rookie Jaxson Dart or veteran backup Jameis Winston. The Giants are one of six 0-3 teams in the NFL after Wilson threw two interceptions in a 22-9 loss to Kansas City on Sunday night.

“We’re working through all the personnel decisions,” Daboll said when asked if Wilson would remain the starter and then when he’d like to make a decision. “I’m not saying who’s starting or who’s not starting. I’m just saying we’re evaluating everything right now.”

Wilson has attempted every pass for New York, with Dart getting in for a handful of snaps as a change of pace. The first-round pick out of Mississippi is believed to be the organization’s QB of the future, and some fans chanted “We want Dart!” after Wilson’s second pick Sunday.

“We put him in the game for the last two weeks,” Daboll said. “We wouldn’t put anybody in a game we don’t feel confident with.”

Asked if Winston was an option, Daboll said: “We’re going through the tape here. We do this every week. But you talk about personnel.”

Daboll would not say if ownership would have a say in making a change at football’s most important position and called this a routine part of shifting from one game to another.

“We’re evaluating every position right now,” Daboll said. “We go through the process of evaluating the personnel and having conversations about the personnel. Every position, every week.”
