Giants' Brian Daboll Risks Jaxson Dart's Future to Win—Fans Demand Protection!
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The New York Giants exploded for a surprise 34-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football (Oct. 9, 2025), shaking the nation. However, head coach Brian Daboll's reliance on rookie QB Jaxson Dart's risky plays has fans worried about his long-term health after a hard hit sparked concerns about a concussion.

Dart, the 22-year-old 25th overall pick, shined against Philly's defense, completing 17-of-25 passes for 195 yards, a touchdown, and adding a 20-yard run. "Jaxson is our guy!" fan Mike Russo tweeted, as #GiantsPride reached 2 million views on X. His composure, not giving up the ball, helped the Eagles hold their own.
However, Dart’s 13-play, 58-yard run saw him take some hard hits, including a missed hit from Patrick Johnson in the third quarter that required him to be checked for a concussion. “Daboll needs to protect Dart!” fan Sarah Klein posted. Daboll’s heated sideline reaction to Russell Wilson’s brief time playing showed how much he relies on his rookie to win.
The Giants’ strategy — leveraging Dart’s dual-threat offense — has paid off, helping them improve to 2-4 with their first NFC East win since 2023. However, fans are concerned about Dart’s durability. “He’s strong, but he can’t take those hits all season!” @BigBlueFanatic tweeted. At 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, Dart doesn’t have the physical strength to consistently take hard hits over a 17-game season.
Daboll will have to teach Dart how to slide or dodge hard hits, a crucial skill for NFL quarterbacks. “Quarters who run like Dart need to stay healthy, not be heroes,” fan Joey Martelli wrote. Limiting the number of designed runs — beyond a few per game — could help Dart avoid the risk of a concussion, especially after three tests in four games.
Big Blue Nation is hopeful, thanks to Dart and RB Cam Skattebo (98 yards, 3 TDs). “Protect Jaxson, and we’ll make the playoffs!” fan Emily Chen tweeted. Daboll’s job may depend on keeping Dart safe. If the Giants want their rookie to have a bright future, they must prioritize his health over short-term glory.
