Kurt Warner throws shade at Brian Daboll's “throw it up” offense amid QB switch to Jaxson Dart

Former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner has weighed in on the New York Giants' stuttering offense this season, which prompted them to switch quarterbacks from Russell Wilson to Jaxson Dart ahead of their Week 4 game.

The Giants drafted Dart in the first round this year, but decided to start the season with veteran Wilson after signing him to a one-year deal in March. However, the decision has not yielded rewards, with Brian Daboll's Giants starting 0-3. Dart will start under center in their Week 4 game against the LA Chargers.

Warner, a two-time MVP, believes Daboll's offense relies too much on big plays and lacks creativity.

"They obviously need to do something, but I wish it started by being more creative on O!" Warner tweeted on Tuesday. "I love Coach Daboll & have seen that creativity, but haven't seen it much in these last 3 weeks & it's been hard on QB IMO (especially in RZ)! Even game against Dallas was a lot of 'throw it up' type plays!

"When you have seen someone do it, it always makes you wonder is it because of what players are able to handle/do or is it the coach? Maybe this move will give us some clarity."

The Giants kicked off the season with a 21-6 loss to the Commanders. In Week 2, they lost in overtime to the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium. They were then dismantled 22-9 by the Kansas City Chiefs at home.

In three games, Russell Wilson has recorded 778 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions.


Former Bucs HC Bruce Arians shares his thoughts on Giants naming Jaxson Dart as QB1

On the "Pat McAfee Show," former Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians discussed the Giants' decision to bench Russell Wilson for the rookie quarterback in Week 4. Arians said Jaxson Dart could help improve the team's offense as a dual-threat QB.

"I definitely think it was time to drop the clipboard," Arians said. "Start getting reps in practice, start playing. I think his legs can add so much to that offense. ..."
"His legs will help get some first downs I think that they haven't had. And the energy that he brings, and he can throw that damn football really really well. ... For me, I would have (made this decision) three weeks ago."

The Giants will take on the Chargers at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. The game will be broadcast on CBS at 1:00 pm ET.
