Dart inherits a team lacking its very effective RB. Dart will almost be on his own. Potential suicide for a guy who hasn't played in the NFL yet.

I saw him throw a trademark moon ball pick on the weekend in highlights and was like; "I wonder how long...."
But TBH, didn't most of .net predict that he was gonna get eaten alive in NY?

Those days are long gone; he would be lucky to find a job.I can't wait to see how Me3 and his agent handle this one. "Russ wants to remain a NY Giant. But, if they aren't going to let him start, here are 5 teams he'd be willing to be traded to...."

Although John Schneider has made some questionable moves, he's done a good job of refrigerator management, throwing out some meat and produce just before they went bad. He got rid of Russ and Earl Thomas just before their sell-by date. I think the DK Metcalf trade might also prove to be a wise decision.
I really thought they were going to let Russ take the bumps during a rough first half to the season and use that time to get other pieces coached up and then move to Dart to close out the year
I think Dart did well enough in preseason and had enough gravitas that they felt they needed to go now
Wait, I'm just tuning in...has there been a Russell Wilson sighting!?!?

Sources: Giants to bench QB Russell Wilson, start Jaxson Dart
The Giants are planning to bench quarterback Russell Wilson in favor of first-round rookie Jaxson Dart after three games, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday.www.espn.com
He went from a shot at the HOF to free falling the second he left and it looks like there’s no stopping it.
He is now playing his way off his third team in three years (Broncos, Steelers, Giants). If the Broncos hadn't made the two biggest roster-construction mistakes in their team's history on one player (both trading a lot of draft picks and actual useful NFL players for Wilson and then compounding it by signing Wilson to a lucrative contract extension before he had played a down for them), he wouldn't have stuck there for two seasons, and then he would have changed teams four seasons in a row. He's become a less-effective
Meanwhile, his fan club will insist he's still on a HoF track and that he's playing lights-out.
And actually, he has been playing lights-out.
For a very specific meaning of the term.

I always wonder if some of these guys are too "alpha - got to start" for that. Being a backup QB at this stage has got to be one of the best jobs in sports. Mariota is an example of a guy who has embraced it and still has a job because of it.

A lot of people do charity work without turning it into a photo opp. Russ doesn't seem to realize that when you take a lot of photos of your good work and post it on social media that it makes it seem like you're just doing it to enhance your reputation. Even after everyone has pilloried him for it, Russ keeps doing it.omg - didn't really go down the rabbit hole - but jesus i'm glad we haven't had to deal with this shit show for a few years!

When I saw this, my thought was a Team3 plant wrote it because it's
so convenient with the timing of his benching and supposed to make
him look good.
My opinion is that he already knew before today and staged this.

My partner and I and many people I know do charity work. It's just part of our lives. No big deal. But I don't post pictures of it on Facebook, Instagram, or elsewhere. As a matter of fact, I don't even have accounts on any of those sites. I get a little annoyed by such self promotion. One's charity work is best left for others to make mention of or praise.

I think it’s a great job as long as the player is cool with it when I think of long term back ups that just kept on going was Jon Kitna

I saw the Saints on the schedule at week 4 and thought that would be a good game to get his feet wet
