    Russell Wilson faces a pivotal season in 2025 with the New York Giants as he battles to overcome the effects of age and mounting competition. NFL analysts have identified “Father Time” and the looming presence of rookie Jaxson Dart as significant hurdles for the veteran quarterback.

    Wilson, now 36, is no longer the same dynamic player who led the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl victory. After underwhelming stints in Denver and Pittsburgh, he now enters the season with New York under immense scrutiny. The team’s high expectations, paired with a tough schedule, compound the challenges for Wilson to prove he can still compete at a high level.

    Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson (3) runs for a first down in the fourth quarter of the NFL Week 18 game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh on Saturday, Jan. 4, 2025. The Bengals won 19-17 to finish the regular season at 9-8.

    New York made Wilson their centerpiece in an offseason aimed at revitalizing their offense. However, his struggles in quick-passing situations and his tendency to avoid the middle of the field raise concerns about his ability to adapt. With rookie Jaxson Dart waiting in the wings, analysts predict that Wilson might lose his starting role midway through the season if he falters.

    Even with Wilson behind center, the revamped offense is far from flawless. While Malik Nabers provides a reliable target at wide receiver, weaknesses at tight end, running back, and along the offensive line could exacerbate Wilson’s limitations. The pressure to perform will be amplified as New York gambles on his ability to carry the team.

    Wilson’s age may start to show on the field this 2025. This obstacle is detailed in an analysis by Brad Gagnon for Bleacher Report.

    That and the constant reminder the team traded back into the first round for Jaxson Dart.

    Despite these challenges, Wilson’s leadership and experience offer hope. His ability to mentor Dart and stabilize the offense could prove invaluable, even if his on-field performance doesn’t meet expectations. For Wilson, 2025 represents both a professional crossroads and an opportunity to redefine his career.

    As the season unfolds, Wilson’s ability to overcome these obstacles will shape both his legacy and the trajectory of the Giants. The stakes are high, and his journey will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike.
