Wilson has posted a bible verse as his response. The verse comes from the book of Ephesians and shows that Wilson believes that a higher power will help him with the next steps, whatever that may be.

Wilson was brought into the Giants rosters and a potential saviour after years of struggles. He had the credibility and experience to help the team improve their offense before passing the reins on to rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart when ready.

However, things have not gone to plan. Wilson struggled in the Giants season opener to the Washington Commanders but played one of the games of his career in the loss to the Dallas Cowboys. This performance gave some hope that Wilson would be able to help the Giants.

But in their home opener to the struggling Kansas City Chiefs, Wilson again struggled. He would throw for 160 yards with no touchdowns scored. By then, the fans had turned against Wilson, audibly calling for Dart. Now, the fans have got their way.

Brian Daboll on the booing of Russell Wilson

Russell Wilson's final appearance for the New York Giants, did not go his way, with the fans booing the former Super Bowl winner at times. After the game, Giants coach Brian Daboll said the following about the boos:

"Look, I would be booing, too, to be honest with you, in terms of not being good enough, not scoring, not finishing. I understand that. That's the nature of it. We got to do better."

Daboll saw the frustration of the fans. They want an offense that is winning games, not struggling to score touchdowns. They worked out that this would not happen with Wilson, and a change was needed.

Now, the change has happened, and fans will hope that Jaxson Dart can begin to lead to an improvement for the New York Giants.
