@Mizmazzle Being a Chiefs fan,obviously, I’m rooting for The Giants,as that would have helped The Chiefs. While it was a crushing loss for The Giants,they definitely have their quarterback. What a great game nonetheless.

@Jett129 I agree with you regarding Dart. The kid has something about him that is confidence inspiring.
Conversely, we sit here at 5-2 and still can’t say with any authority whether Nix is the man or not. He has this Tebow-esque aura about him that is unsettling.In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

@Mizmazzle When it was 3rd and 5 in the 4th quarter and they had an 18 point lead, I’m thinking just run the ball and play defense,but they thought they were slick like the Seahawks against The Patriots in the Super Bowl and decided to throw it. Obviously if he completes the pass etc. but he didn’t and that was the beginning of the end. I looked at Denver’s schedule for the rest of the season and I don’t think there’s a single game that’s not potentially winnable,even the 2 games against The Chiefs. Kind of reminiscent of The Chiefs winning all these really tight games in the fourth quarter last season.

@Mizmazzle as a long time Dart and Nix observer (being an Ole Miss / SEC / college football fan) the difference in Dart and Nix that stands out to me is that Dart correlates with elevated play on both sides of the ball for the Giants (I say “correlates” because it’s uncertain to me how much of the vibe changes across the board are due to him, but it certainly coincides with his starting). If we assume at least some of the turnaround even on D is due to what Dart brought then that is another level of leader for a team. But then again Nix stepped into a team with an elite D so maybe unfair to compare.
My worry about him is staying healthy with the aggression he has always played with.
Think it, be it.

@mclaincausey Dart staying healthy, you mean? I agree. I thought for sure Wilson would have to finish the game yesterday.

@Mizmazzle yeah. He and Skattabo are the kind of players who tend to get injured and have short careers. Sure is fun to watch them healthy though.
I’m with you on Nix, maybe 50/50 on him. His style of play and build raise fewer concerns about durability than a Dart though.
