The New York Giants recently made waves after benching veteran quarterback Russell WIlson in favor of 2025 first round draft pick, Jaxson Dart.

It was likely a move to save Giants’ head coach, Brian Daboll’s job since he was already on a blazing hot seat.

Aside from Week 2, the Giants have looked horrific on both ends of the ball. The offense was totally inept and defensively, every team they have played chewed them out.

Because of the massive news, most of the G-Men’s most important players were asked about the move.

One Pro Bowl defender didn’t seem too thrilled about the move, despite what he said.

Dexter Lawrence, who’s been with the team since 2019, was already starting to get frustrated with the organization per a report from Giants beat reporter, Jordan Ranaan. This may have been the last straw.

“It ain’t my call,” Lawrence told reporters. “He’s my quarterback now, so we’ll be by his side and roll with him until the end.”

Perhaps if Lawrence kept the “it ain’t my call” thought in his head, this wouldn’t have been newsworthy, but you can see the frustration mounting for the seven year veteran.

The timing of these comments are hardly coincidental. Ranaan’s report over a week ago stated that "You can see [the frustration] building, little by little."

For Lawrence, at this stage in his career, is seemingly done with any form of a rebuild. And putting in the rookie Dart is a sign to the players that the playoffs aren’t a thought in the franchise’s minds.

New York isn’t a playoff team. It hasn’t looked like one in three games. Even when the Giants played well in Dallas, the Cowboys still beat them often on defense, seemingly with ease.

All Giants fans want is a team to compete. A team to make their opponents' lives miserable even if they don’t have that playoff ceiling.

That, however, does not align with Lawrence’s values, who’s spent seven years with Big Blue and only two playoff games to show for it.

What we saw in the first three weeks wasn’t a playoff team.

There are some foundational building blocks like Malik Nabers, Cam Skattebo and now Dart, but a playoff team? It may be a few years until Big Blue walks down that path.

And in the prime of his career, it’s no wonder why Lawrence is getting fed up.
