Giants' Jameis Winston to start Sunday vs. Packers with Jaxson Dart in concussion protocol
Giants veteran backup QB Jameis Winston will start Sunday's game against the Packers with rookie Jaxson Dart in the league's concussion protocol, interim coach Mike Kafka confirmed Wednesday.
Its a little late, but i called this one to start the season. I figured there was no way Russ would beat out Jameis in a straight up competition. 9 weeks late here we are. I have always been critical of Russ, not because i didnt like him but because his game was incredibly flawed and rather than ever just addressing his shortfalls, he seemed to resort to either flat denying them or pushing the blame elsewhere (scheme, o-line, coaches) but i do feel bad that the his years long denial and choosing to live in his own personal alternate universe has got up with him in the worst way. Literally everything we wished for, he got and squandered it. Away from Pete? Check, Offensive mastermind for a HC? Check. Big market team? Check. But it was squandered because those things he thought were the solution were just a fabrication of his own design. The real problem was Russ. Being humbled again and again the way he has been has to be hard.
But $250 mill in the checking account likely makes it all a little bit easier...
