The Jets could be sitting on a massive draft opportunity thanks to other teams falling apart. Evan Roberts looks at Green Bay and Indianapolis and sees a realistic path to multiple top-10 picks, giving Jets fans another reason to obsess over every Packers and Colts loss.

The conversation then shifts to the Giants after Michael Penix Jr.’s performance sparks a comparison to Jaxson Dart. Evan, Tiki Barber, and Shaun Morash debate the injury concerns surrounding both young quarterbacks, what Penix’s situation could foreshadow for Dart, and why the Giants may need a reliable veteran option behind him next season.

Boomer was impressed with Michael Penix Jr, coming back from his injury. He said this is what we can hope from Jaxson Dart.

Craig Carton and Big Mac analyze the public tension between Aaron Judge and Aaron Boone regarding Judge's calf injury and playoff availability. They also look ahead to Jameis Winston's debut for the New York Giants and the impact of a looming Nor'easter on local sports attendance.

(00:11:12) Jameis Winston’s Giants Debut

Jaxson Dart is done for the regular season, but the Giants’ season doesn’t have to die with him. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate what New York should expect with Jameis Winston taking over, including whether a veteran quarterback can still lead this team to eight, nine or even more wins.

Evan points to the 2015 Jets and Ryan Fitzpatrick as proof that losing a young quarterback doesn’t automatically destroy a season. The conversation gets heated over whether wins and losses should remain the Giants’ ultimate measuring stick or whether the focus should shift toward the development of young building blocks like Abdul Carter and Malik Nabers.

We started with more on the Jaxson Dart injury and Tiki Barber getting annoyed that all we do is talk about a guy who’s not playing this week. There's even some time to throw in some Jets and noreaster talk.

Carton and Big Mac react to the devastating news that New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart will undergo surgery for multiple knee injuries. They debate whether Jameis Winston can keep the team competitive or if the franchise should pivot toward tanking for a high draft pick.

Jaxson Dart’s season is over after suffering MCL, PCL and meniscus damage that will require surgery. Connor Hughes explains why the Giants initially believed Dart had avoided a major injury, how the MRI completely changed the outlook and why the setback could eventually force a difficult quarterback conversation if New York lands near the top of the draft.

With Dart sidelined, Jameis Winston becomes the Giants’ starter. Hughes explains why the locker room embraces Winston but believes the offense must protect him from himself by limiting his throws, leaning on the running game and avoiding situations where his aggressive style can become costly.

Tiki Barber is furious with Giants fans already declaring the season over after Jaxson Dart’s potentially serious injury. He calls out the “loser mentality” surrounding the team and argues that going from an unproven second-year quarterback to veteran Jameis Winston is no reason to surrender the season.

Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash push back on just how quickly fans should move on, explaining why losing Dart crushes much of the excitement surrounding this Giants season. Tiki insists the focus has to shift immediately to Winston, John Harbaugh and the winnable games ahead, while the debate turns to whether Giants fans can truly rally around their new starting quarterback.

Phil gives us his insight to what the heck is going on.
