John Harbaugh<\/a> is entering his first season with the New York Giants<\/a>, and lucky for him, he has a budding quarterback already in Jaxson Dart<\/a>. While plenty of head coaches walk into situations where they’re starting from scratch, Harbaugh at least has Dart, who put up strong numbers last season<\/a> despite a losing record.<\/p>\n During the 2025 season, Dart appeared in 14 games and finished with 2,272 passing yards and 15 passing touchdowns, according to NFL research<\/a>. He only allowed for five interceptions.<\/p>\n Now, Harbaugh and Dart are getting a big vote of confidence going into the 2026 season. Brad Gagnon of Bleacher Report thinks Dart could actually be an MVP contender next season.<\/p>\n So, why could Dart win MVP in 2027? Harbaugh is one reason.<\/p>\n “That staff\u2014led by John Harbaugh and Matt Nagy\u2014could pave the way for Dart to take his game to the next level,” Gagnon wrote<\/a>. “His line should be better with top pick Francis Mauigoa<\/a> on board; he’s now got Isaiah Likely<\/a> as a safety valve, and he’s getting Malik Nabers<\/a> and Cam Skattebo<\/a> back from injury.”<\/p>\n He added: “If that core can put it all together in a surprise playoff season for the G-Men, and Dart can consistently make some of the superhero plays we saw from him in 2025, anything is possible.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n It’s still a stretch that Dart could win MVP. But, in a sea of the same quarterbacks getting nominated, it would be refreshing to see his name on the tally.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nJohn Harbaugh, Jaxson Dart get glowing projection<\/h2>\n
