Only Jaxson Dart May Save Daboll's Giants Job, Post Report Says

The New York Giants’ coaching future could hinge on a single player, according to a New York Post report that argues Jaxson Dart may be the only quarterback who can salvage Brian Daboll's tenure this season. The piece portrays Dart as Daboll’s lifeline—a quarterback he long pursued because of the blueprint he used in Buffalo with Josh Allen. The implication is that success or failure in this development path could determine whether Daboll remains in New York beyond this season.

Daboll's hire was driven in large part by his reputation for turning a raw quarterback into an elite franchise passer, a pattern he produced with Allen in Buffalo. The Post analysis contends that Dart, a prospect with a ceiling Daboll believes he can unlock, could be the spark the Giants need to stabilize an offense that has struggled to establish consistency. The article frames Dart as central to the team’s plans, noting the organization has invested time, coaching, and opportunity into his development as a potential long-term signal-caller.

Context around the Giants’ season adds urgency to the discussion. The team has faced turnover and high expectations as Daboll seeks to rebuild an offense that must answer to both the coaching staff and the front office. While the piece stops short of predicting outcomes, it argues that Daboll’s ability to maximize Dart’s growth will be a key barometer of his effectiveness in New York and could influence questions about job security should results fall short.

The analysis places Dart at the center of a broader franchise narrative about identity and improvement. It notes that Daboll's construction of a sustainable offense requires a quarterback who can execute the system with accuracy and leadership in the huddle and on the field. If Dart can translate the promise into on-field success, it could reshape the timeline for Daboll's tenure and the franchise's long-term plans. If not, the report suggests, the Giants could be left evaluating alternative paths in the quarterback room and coaching staff.

Published Sept. 24, 2025, the column contributes to ongoing debates around the league about how quickly teams should pivot when a coach's past success hinges on a particular quarterback development arc. For Daboll and the Giants, that arc now centers on Dart, whose progress this season will be watched closely by fans, players, and a front office seeking stability and results.
