NFL - The Athletic on Jaxson Dart
From the article
Dart started only 12 games last season for the Giants, but his numbers stack up well against those of his fellow rookie starters since 2020. Within that group (minimum 200 attempts), Dart per TruMedia ranks No. 6 in EPA per attempt (.04), No. 8 in EPA/dropback (.08), No. 2 in off-target rate (8.6 percent), No. 3 in EPA/pressure and No. 6 in time to throw. Since 2020, the only rookie starter with a better off-target rate than Dart is Joe Burrow. Dart's accuracy was actually good enough to overcome some of the hiccups he showed on tape.
STACKED’s take
Dart's rookie metrics rank elite among peers; accuracy and processing already advanced.
Dart's rookie season performance metrics rank favorably among fellow rookie starters since 2020 (minimum 200 attempts): No. 6 in EPA per attempt (.04), No. 8 in EPA/dropback (.08), No. 2 in off-target rate (8.6 percent), No. 3 in EPA/pressure, and No. 6 in time to throw. Despite starting only 12 games, he posted 24 total touchdowns (15 passing, 9 rushing on 487 yards at 5.7 yards per carry). His greatest and most repeatable asset is natural accuracy; since 2020, only Joe Burrow has a better off-target rate among rookie starters, and Dart ranks No. 1 among the eight NFL starting QBs who rushed at least 75 times last season. He throws with a calm, grounded base and quick, smooth motion; changes speeds; mixes angles; and delivers a very catchable ball at every level. His accuracy was good enough to overcome pocket hiccups and late deliveries on downfield in-breakers. His starting point development-wise is much further along than many feared coming out of college; he showed on his Ole Miss tape an ability to process full-field reads. Health permitting, expect a sizable jump from Dart, who has the ability to finally give the Giants the franchise QB for whom they've been searching.
