Winston elevated to starter after Dart injury; Giants see him as elite backup.

Winston, 32, takes over as the Giants' starting quarterback after Dart's injury. The Giants recently extended him on a two-year, $13 million contract, viewing him as one of the NFL's best backup quarterbacks. His playing style is described as loosey-goosey with an effervescent personality. Head coach John Harbaugh framed the transition as shifting from tangible enthusiasm with Dart to tangible uncertainty with Winston—either a leap of faith or a plunge off a cliff.
