Jaxson Dart, New York Giants Where he could get better: Consistency. Dart is an extremely frustrating watch. He has very little consistency to his process as a thrower and a pocket manager. His feet are frequently disconnected from the ground, which affects the timing of his throws and delays his reaction to pressure. His lower-body mechanics change willy-nilly, and he often looks like a kid alone on a basketball court attempting pretend buzzer-beaters, lurching to launch from odd angles for no apparent reason.
I’m confident there’s a quality starting QB somewhere in Dart’s game, but it’ll take quite a bit of development to get him there. The good news is that a steady hand is at the mast. With new head coach John Harbaugh comes a legacy of quality Ravens teams. He’ll buy Dart time to grow, as the Giants should improve in all three phases under Harbaugh’s experienced gaze. The offensive brain trust has some worrying names — Matt Nagy, Brian Callahan and Greg Roman — but all three are experienced coaches who should be able to impress upon Dart the importance of a consistent process to create predictable results. Until then, Dart is still more theory than practice.
