New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart has made quite a stir in Giants training camp so far, and not all of it has been good.
Dart introduced Donald Trump at one of his rallies, and that set off a controversy that the team and Dart are trying to sweep under the rug.
It’s great and all for the team to talk about unity after all this, but if Dart doesn’t have a great season, what will it mean for his future?
It means he is going to have to play his behind off to gain the respect of the teammates he may have lost because of the controversy and the unwanted attention he brought to this team.
But is Dart capable of weathering the storm? The Giants had seemed to find their identity before running back Cam Skattebo was injured, and when the Giants needed Dart to carry the team to the playoffs, he couldn’t- at least not by himself.
Now, Dart has put himself in a precarious spot where he has to do well, or the Giants could move on from him quickly. There was a time when rookie quarterbacks were given time to learn and mature, but this is a new day and time.
You have to wonder how quickly this team could turn on Dart if he doesn’t get it. Will management have the patience to wait, or will they move on to next year’s draft?
With everything that has already happened this offseason, you have to believe that Dart is on a short leash.
