His injury, packaged with the losses of defensive cornerstones Brian Burns and Tremaine Edmunds, created a death sentence scenario for the team's season.

The Giants built their offense around Jaxson Dart with the quarterback run game as a big part of it; this element was removed when Jameis Winston took over but is being restored with J.J. McCarthy's arrival.

Despite the quarterback change to McCarthy, the Giants plan for Dart to be their starting quarterback for the next decade-plus. Top to bottom, the organization believes in him as both a player and person. Dart is a major reason John Harbaugh took the Giants job. McCarthy would need to play like a top-10 NFL quarterback over the next 12 weeks, lead the Giants to double-digit victories, secure the NFC East, and get them to at least the NFC Championship for the team to consider moving away from Dart.

The source states the Giants love the player and love the person more, with top-to-bottom belief in him. Dart is a major reason John Harbaugh took the Giants job.
