Hour 1: Is the Giants Season Over Without Jaxson Dart?

The Giants' season is over because Jameis Winston's statistics are comparable to other quarterbacks but his production doesn't translate into wins, creating an insurmountable hole.

The offense was built around Dart's mobility and running threat, and Winston is a completely different quarterback, so the team will have to tweak the offense but it won't be enough to win the division.

The Giants will finish six and eleven or seven and ten, and they will not draft a quarterback but will let Winston play out the season.

The Giants should acquire a mobile quarterback like Joe Milton from the Cowboys' practice squad to fit the offense's design, though acknowledges the difficulty of a mid-season acquisition.

Bringing in a new quarterback mid-season is difficult because they must learn a complex offense without a preseason and execute at a high level immediately.

The Giants will not draft a quarterback next year and will stick with Dart, as drafting a new one doesn't guarantee health or greatness.

Dart will be a superstar and this is a minor setback, but the team must protect him from himself because he is a warrior who will try to return before he is fully ready.

Dart is the franchise quarterback because he has shown growth in protecting himself from the pocket, and the organization has seen his development firsthand.

Dart's injury issues are concerning because he has been contacted while running the fourth most of any quarterback, and his warrior mentality makes him prone to taking hits.

The Cowboys are optimistic about defensive improvement and believe they are better defensively than expected.

The defense is disappointing because highly paid players like Quinnen Williams are having little impact, and the scheme is causing blown coverages and missed assignments.

Playing a home game in Rio is a terrible competitive disadvantage due to the 10-hour travel and potential field issues, and it benefits the NFL's branding more than the team.

The defense's struggles are partly due to a new scheme and young players learning, but they need to force opponents to beat them with their right hand tied behind their back.

The Cowboys defense has a new staff and pieces, and it takes time for young players to adjust, but they need to stop letting offenses do what they do best.

The Yankees are still the team to beat in the American League because Tampa Bay is a regular-season team that lacks the big stars needed to win in the postseason.

The Broncos had the bigger bounce back because they beat a Jacksonville team that was rolling, and their defense looked like themselves by getting after Trevor Lawrence.

The Rams' win over the Giants was expected because Jameis Winston looked lost, and the Broncos' win was aided by Jacksonville's mistakes and missed opportunities.

The Rams are more impressive because they dominated without their two best players outside the quarterback, Miles Garrett and Puka Nacua, which bodes well for the team.

The Rams offense has the edge because of their running backs, receivers, and tight ends, and they have scored well in Seattle despite the altitude.

The Broncos defense has the advantage because they can match up with Devontae Adams and neutralize the Rams' explosive plays, especially if Puka Nacua is out.

The Broncos defense will attack Matthew Stafford with pressure and blitzes all game, giving them the advantage because Stafford is 38 and needs a comfortable pocket.

Florida should not be favored because Jaxson Dart is the best player in college football, and Ole Miss has a defense that looked good against LSU.

Florida could win because of a natural letdown for Ole Miss after a huge game, and the line reflects sharp oddsmakers who know Florida is a tough opponent at home.

The letdown narrative is flawed because this is the most normal game Ole Miss has had in some time, and Florida's path to victory is stopping Jaden Boh from rushing for over 100 yards.

LSU will bounce back because Texas A&M is untrustworthy on the road and got ambushed by Kentucky, and LSU needs this win to avoid a mediocre season.

LSU will be a seven or eight-win team if Sam Leavitt doesn't figure out how to play from the pocket, as the offense requires quick passing to set up the run and downfield shots.

LSU needs to limit turnovers in the red zone, which has become a problem, and Texas A&M's defense underperformed last week.

Texas is in a dangerous game on the road against Tennessee, and it will be late and tight in the fourth quarter.

Tennessee wins when they run the football, and Arch Manning has been inaccurate under pressure from UTSA, which will be exploited by Jim Knowles' defense.
