Giants' QB spot under review after Brian Daboll's telling remark image

Russell Wilson might not be the New York Giants' starting quarterback from next week onwards. It could be time for rookie Jaxson Dart to take over.

Giants coach Brian Daboll did little to quiet speculation on Monday, telling reporters "we're evaluating everything" when asked about the quarterbacks.

Wilson has thrown for 778 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions over the Giants' first three games, all losses. He was sacked seven times during that span.

In Sunday's 22-9 defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs, Wilson completed 18 of 32 passes for 160 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions.

On Monday, another question came up from reporters: Does Daboll think Dart is ready to be the starter?

Daboll replied, "Well, we put him in the game the last two weeks. We wouldn't put anybody in the game we don't feel confident with."

The Giants face the undefeated Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4. If Daboll decides to start Dart against them, it would be a bold move and would be interesting to see how the rookie handles the pressure against one of the league's best teams this season.
