The first decree for any starting quarterback: Win the game.&nbsp;

And so, Jaxson Dart <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/09/29/sports/what-we-learned-from-giants-week-4-win-over-chargers/">is one for one in more ways than one</a>.&nbsp;

Style points and statistics are fine and dandy but the bottom line is the bottom line. It may be that, moving forward, the Giants will not come out ahead in any game the rest of the season if Dart completes only 13 passes for 111 yards. Two weeks ago, Russell Wilson completed 30 passes for 450 yards and three touchdowns <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/09/14/sports/russell-wilson-deserved-so-much-better/">and the Giants lost</a>. Different week, different opponent, different quarterback, different outcome.&nbsp;

And a very different offensive plan of attack.&nbsp;

The development of the rookie Dart is in full effect.{ai:summary}Win the game first: Dart is judged by the bottom line. A 13-for-111 outing could mean few wins left for the Giants.Wilson's 30-for-450-3 last week did not spare NY; different QB, different opponent, different outcome. Expect a new offensive plan. #sports
