Shannon Sharpe believes that Jackson Dart's preseason performance warrants starting him as a quarterback sooner than expected.

“The Giants beat the Patriots. Jackson Dart shined in his rookie preeason. His numbers across all three weeks, he was 32 of 47, 372 yards, four total touchdowns, zero interceptions. Oo, I told you he's going to be starting sooner than you think.”

Drake Maye has demonstrated enough ability to win the starting quarterback job for the New England Patriots.

“if this is a true QB competition it really with without question is Drake may he has played better than jacobe from jump”

Seeing rookies and young players operate an offense cleanly during the preseason is meaningful.

“I think when you're when you're thinking about that first game, the Hall of Fame game, you just want to see them get in and out of the huddle. You want to see some some healthy operation.”

Players competing in the preseason should be viewed as fighting for roster spots.

“Pretty much everyone you see playing in this football game outside of probably Beck and Pick uh sorry, Carson Beck and Kenny Pickett. Those guys I've seen to be on the team, but outside of that everybody's fighting for their job.”

It is important not to overreact to the results of preseason games.

“But we can't >> overreact to one half a hall of fame game football.”

It is unfair to evaluate a player's performance during the preseason when the coaching staff does not put them in advantageous situations or provide the necessary supporting talent.

“I'm all for quarterback competition, but if you're going to put him in a situation that is not advantageous to him and competing at a high level, boom. Let's give him a chance. Let's give him a chance with the play calling.”
