The worst possible outcome from the New York Giants, Jaxson Dart is out for the season with a damage to his MCL, PCL and meniscus. Despite the report, John Harbrough isn't ruling Dart out for the entire 20-26 season. Let's take a listen to what Harbrough had to say.
SPEAKER_2 (0:31)
It's obviously been reported your quarterback suffered a pretty significant injury. How big a loss is it to be without him?
SPEAKER_3 (0:39)
Yeah, it's a big loss for sure. I mean, it's a starting quarterback.
It's a tough loss. What's the timeline?
Joe Johnson (0:51)
Regular season, at least, I would say.
Joe Burrow (0:54)
He's out for the regular season, John?
Joe Johnson (0:56)
What is the injury?
SPEAKER_3 (0:58)
It's an A.
Joe Johnson (0:59)
It's an A. The injury.
SPEAKER_2 (1:03)
When you said regular season, are you hopeful that maybe he could come back for the postseason? Is that what you're saying?
Joe Johnson (1:08)
I think I said it. Yeah.
I said it. Regular season.
Shannon Sharpe (1:16)
They kept prying, trying to get into specifics of what he said knee.
There's ACL, there's Patella, there's MCL, there's Meniscus, there's PCL. There's a lot of things going on in the knee, and they tried to get Harv to narrow it down. But you saw he kept evading it, saying, it's his knee. He also said he's out for the regular season. Well, it means he can come back for the postseason. John Harbaugh, in his most realistic expectations, it's hard for me to believe that he thinks he can make...
I don't know how many teams are equipped to make a postseason run without their starting quarterback. I'm going to open it up for you and Joe, you and Ocho. Ocho, what do you think? This is the worst possible scenario. They said four to six weeks, because that's what they thought it was, an MCL injury, come to find out is much worse than what they previously thought.
Chad Johnson (2:05)
Well, it's bad. It's very bad for the New York Giants. It's bad for Giants fans. It's bad for the Giants organization. Jaxson Dart gives them their best opportunity to have a chance to win, to have a chance to win. Now, as far as the postseason concern, it all depends on how Jaxson Dart would have played throughout this season. Obviously, having to start your back up and Jameis Winston, we know that we've seen Jameis Winston before in Tampa Bay have a very good season, but the only problem is he's a turnover machine. Absolutely. He can go on a heater, though, Uncle Joe. He can go on a heater and have some crazy games. He could string together four or five games and play unbelievable throwing for an enormous amount of yards, but within that timetable and time frame, he'll throw three picks, four picks, nine picks, and so he turns the ball over a lot.
Listen, he's at the helm now. He's at the helm, but what they did do, what they do have is Harbaugh has Joe Flacco, if I'm not mistaken. Wasn't Joe Flacco traded to-
Joe Johnson (3:04)
No, that was a fake. That's a fake account.
Chad Johnson (3:08)
It was?
Man, I'm on the plane. I thought it really happened.
Shannon Sharpe (3:13)
Man, ain't nobody giving no fourth round pick for Joe Flacco.
Chad Johnson (3:16)
Okay, okay, but listen, you think about Harbaugh and having familiarity with Joe Flacco, I'm not sure if that will happen and probably wouldn't be a fourth round. I think it would make sense, you know, as far as with James Winston and the struggles he may have with turning the ball over, right now, you still have a chance. It's early in the season, you're going into week three, you see how James Winston plays, if it's not good enough or to your liking, you can always make that trade with Flacco, if need be, because you're familiar with him as a quarterback.
Shannon Sharpe (3:49)
What do you think, Joe?
I think it's very unfortunate for the New York Giants, Unc and Ocho. And I think it's unfortunate for Jaxson Dart, considering the fact that he came into the season already off an injury, you know, trying to get back, trying to bring that pizzazz back to New York, him and Scadaboo, which they obviously got off to a great start against my Cowboys. But man, to have this devastating injury happen, I mean, for the Giants, what do they do? I don't think you can go and get some young electric quarterback, because then it's probably going to be hard to get rid of them. You know what I mean? I don't think there's nothing out there available.
