Jaxson Dart’s Year-Two Leap Will Define the Giants’ Season

The Giants enter training camp with playoff expectations, at least in Evan Roberts’ eyes. Evan believes John Harbaugh’s demanding approach, better late-game coaching and a more experienced Jaxson Dart can transform last year’s four-win team into a nine or ten-win contender. Anything short of the postseason would leave him disappointed. Tiki Barber is not ready to set the bar that high. He points to major questions in the secondary, run defense and receiving corps, arguing the Giants still need to prove they can crawl before anyone expects them to run. The debate also centers on Dart’s physical playing style, his repeated trips to the medical tent and whether better coaching can help him stay available while still making winning plays.
