Jaxson Dart Week 17 Outlook - Giants at Raiders

I understand that the Giants don't want Jaxson Dart to get hurt in the final weeks of a lost season. Ok, I get that, but last week was a ridiculous showing. New York had a 39.6% passing rate and ran a total of nine passing plays in the first half. If you don't want Dart to throw the ball or take unnecessary hits, BENCH HIM. Running the ball an obnoxious amount and not letting your quarterback actually play is pure foolishness. Dart finished with 13 passing attempts, 33 passing yards, zero passing touchdowns, an interception, and only seven rushing yards (two rushing attempts). And people wonder why bad teams stay bad. I don't. I could give you all of Dart's season-long stats and per-game numbers, and they are nothing more than false window dressing if the Giants run this sham of an operation in Week 17. If the Giants let Dart do his thing this week (I have zero confidence that they will), then he could easily be a high-end QB1 this week. Since Week 12, Las Vegas has allowed the tenth-most yards per attempt, the fifth-highest CPOE, and the third-highest success rate per dropback.
