Jaxson Dart May Have A Death Wish

Say it along with me...

YOU GOT

Look, we all heard the stories of Jaxson Dart out of college. Coach Gruden called him the Evel Knievel of quarterbacks who loved playing reckless, which is a ballsy move when you are playing against the superfreaks in the SEC every Saturday. 

But it's flat out insane when you are playing the somehow even superfreakier aliens that make up an NFL defense. Especially when you are just returning after missing 2.5 games with a concussion because your brain got scrambled to the point you couldn't get up in Chicago.

Instead, we got the most important person on the team getting jostled in the pocket that caused every Giants fan to have a minor heart attack followed by the hit by Christian Elliss that resulted in this:

Yup, that's not what anybody playing, working, or rooting for the Giants ever wants to see, let alone on a second down in the first quarter in Week 13 of a lost season. I don't want to hear people get mad at Elliss either since Dart was very much in bounds when that murder attempt took place.

Which has me thinking. Maybe Jaxson Dart is just a wild child with a death wish. I mean the name Jaxson Dart itself sounds like an awesome stuntman's stage name. Perhaps this is just how Jaxson wants to leave this cruel world of ours. On the gridiron like a gladiator. I know it sounds ridiculous, but refusing to slide or go out of bounds as gigantic monsters chase you fresh off a brain injury is somehow even more ridiculous than that in my mind. Maybe Jaxson even had his agent work overtime to end up with the Giants since he knows this franchise specializes in ruining quarterbacks based on what they did to Daniel Jones the previous six years.

Regardless of why Jaxson does this, I'll be praying he cuts this shit out sooner rather than later because he is pretty fucking awesome when he is on the field, which already isn't happening enough for his importance to the Giants.

As I wrote this, Jaxson led the Giants to a touchdown without taking any potential life threatening hits. So maybe Christian Elliss gave him the reminder he needed. So I think we are in the clear for everyone to get their Chosen One shirt for 20% off for the next few hours before Cyber Monday ends.
