HOUR 3: Jaxson Dart May NOT Be The Franchise Guy For The Giants | Mets Make Andy Green Their Fulltime Manager

Craig Carton (0:00)

I feel for you, kid, I do. I feel for all you Giant fans.

Chris McMonigle (0:03)

I get no joy out of this.

SPEAKER_3 (0:04)

We're about to go into, and I know the Yankees and Giants, the fans don't know this, but just here in New York, right? Like, so much talk about how the Knicks season was gonna elevate the rest of New York sports.

Craig Carton (0:15)

It did.

SPEAKER_3 (0:15)

That they were gonna, it didn't. It didn't.

Look what's happened since. Look what's happened since, Craig. The Mets had one of their biggest debacle seasons in history. Now to be fair, it was well on its way to being that before the Knicks won the championship. But the Mets had an ugly, disgusting, miserable season where the highlight was Pete Alonso hitting his 300th home run in a different uniform. The Yankees are about to head into a playoffs and not win a division and head into a wild card series against the Red Sox without Aaron Judge. And now the giant season is Kaputzeville.

Craig Carton (0:48)

Thank God for the Knicks. That's exactly right. Thank God the New York Knicks are carrying us right now.

SPEAKER_3 (0:53)

Because of that, we're allowed no other joy. That's it.

Craig Carton (0:57)

You're blaming the Knicks championship?

SPEAKER_3 (0:59)

I'm not blaming the Knicks. I'm not blaming the Knicks.

Chris McMonigle (1:01)

How about thanking the Knicks?

SPEAKER_3 (1:01)

But there was so much talk about how this was going to propel the Knicks. You know where Jaxson Dart was, Craig? You know where Jaxson Dart was?

Chris McMonigle (1:07)

He was at the Knicks games in San Antonio.

SPEAKER_3 (1:09)

I know what he was doing on the plane.

Craig Carton (1:10)

He was looking at tape.

SPEAKER_3 (1:11)

He was looking at tape because it motivated him. Because imagine winning in New York. And Aaron Judge said the same thing. Oh, watching those guys made me want to win more in New York. And they were going to elevate everybody. Instead, they've cursed us.

The Knicks 53 games, 53 year stretch of non-winning championships that came to an end in June has cursed the rest of New York's sports.

Craig Carton (1:32)

Do you think Harry Rose is upset that the Giants news trumped his retirement now?

SPEAKER_3 (1:38)

Nothing can trump that story.

Chris McMonigle (1:40)

It lives forever.

Craig Carton (1:41)

Here's Chase in New York. Got the fan. Chase, good afternoon. How are you?

SPEAKER_4 (1:46)

Yeah, I just want to make a real statement right here. I just, as a Giants fan, I really thought this Jaxson Dart error was going to be something.

And obviously, when he got injured, I just, you know, I think he's trading for a quarterback. I don't know who, but I think he gets the role.

Craig Carton (2:03)

Well, that becomes the next, sadly, the next hot topic for the Giants.

SPEAKER_3 (2:08)

We don't know that the entire Jaxson Dart error is over. That's us and our feelings in this moment. We don't know that for sure.

But, yeah, right now, the more pressing question is not necessarily whether Jaxson Dart's gonna be the quarterback of the future. Eventually, we'll get to that question. Right now, who's the quarterback of the next three weeks? Who's the quarterback of the next, this season?

Craig Carton (2:25)

You know, it's quarterbacking Sunday's game. And you assume that James Winston's quarterbacking the rest of the way.

SPEAKER_3 (2:31)

I think you have to bring in someone who's not just James Winston's backup. And, like, Billy Zappi doesn't have an opportunity to play.

Craig Carton (2:38)

You want to prove in a veteran.

SPEAKER_3 (2:39)

I have to bring in someone who at least I can feel like there's now a competition at quarterback.

Craig Carton (2:46)

So a guy that theoretically could push him.

SPEAKER_3 (2:47)

Like, theoretically could push him. And if he plays poorly, like, not just injured, if he doesn't play well, I'm going to pull him for someone else. Like, I don't think the Billy Zappis of the world or even the Will Levis, I guess Will Levis kind of could have been that.

Chris McMonigle (2:59)

You want Tua?

SPEAKER_3 (3:01)

No, I don't want Tua.

Chris McMonigle (3:02)

JJ.

SPEAKER_3 (3:03)

McCarthy.

Craig Carton (3:05)

JJ. McCarthy can't play.

SPEAKER_3 (3:07)

He won games last year with Minnesota. He won games last year. He won a national championship.

Chris McMonigle (3:11)

He's not great, though. I mean, he's not great. No, I'm not saying he's great.

Craig Carton (3:14)

He's not a proven quarterback, to be fair.

SPEAKER_3 (3:16)

Certainly not.

Craig Carton (3:17)
