History

Historical Context

After Eli Manning’s 210-game streak (2004-2017) ended, the Giants have repeatedly dealt with quarterback turnover, a pattern evident in 2005 when the team posted a 422-point offense—the most since 1963—while Manning managed injuries. The trend continued, prompting the 2025 first-round selection of rookie Jaxson Dart to add depth to the roster.
