Big Blue View on J.J. McCarthy
From the article
Harbaugh said on Monday that McCarthy being the No. 2 quarterback behind Jameis Winston this week is 'definitely on the table.' McCarthy is not the runner Jaxson Dart is. In 10 games, he has averaged 3.7 rushes per game for 4.9 yards per carry.
STACKED’s take
McCarthy likely to see expanded package role as QB2 this week to add rushing element.
J.J. McCarthy is being considered for an expanded role in the Giants' offense, with Harbaugh saying it is 'definitely on the table' for McCarthy to be the No. 2 quarterback behind Jameis Winston this week. Against Arizona, McCarthy was QB3 and Harbaugh said it was 'unrealistic' for him to function in a full backup role, but the team had 'certain plays that we had prepared for' McCarthy that they chose not to use. McCarthy is an athletic 23-year-old who offers the Giants the chance to keep the quarterback run game in the playbook, though he is not the runner Jaxson Dart is (McCarthy: 3.7 rushes per game, 4.9 yards per carry; Dart: 6.1 rushes per game, 5.6 yards per carry). The source expects to see some McCarthy package usage against the Commanders.
