Giants' Quarterback Dilemma: Dart or Manning?
8 Aug
Summary
- Giants drafted Jaxson Dart in 2023, sparking debate over Arch Manning
- Arch Manning's grandfather says he won't declare for NFL Draft soon
- Dart's performance in 2025 could determine Giants' QB plans
As of August 8th, 2025, the New York Giants' decision to select Jaxson Dart in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft appears to be a wise one. This comes after Arch Manning, the highly touted quarterback prospect, was recently confirmed to be staying at the University of Texas for the foreseeable future.
Many Giants fans had hoped to see Manning, the nephew of former Giants quarterback Eli Manning, suit up for the team. However, according to Arch's grandfather, Archie Manning, the young quarterback "isn't going to" declare for the NFL Draft anytime soon, and will remain with the Longhorns.
This news presents an intriguing future for the Giants. With Dart now firmly in place as their quarterback, the team can focus on developing him without the looming threat of potentially missing out on Manning. If Dart can build on a strong finish to the 2025 season, it could be enough to solidify him as the Giants' long-term answer at the position, potentially buying time for the current coaching staff and front office.
On the other hand, if Dart struggles and fails to show significant improvement, the Giants may have an opportunity to select Manning when he does eventually declare for the draft, potentially in 2027 as a senior. This would allow a new coaching staff and front office to build around the highly touted prospect.
