Yahoo Sports NFL on J.J. McCarthy
From the article
McCarthy being the No. 2 quarterback behind Jameis Winston this week is 'definitely on the table.' McCarthy is an athletic 23-year-old who offers the Giants the chance to keep the quarterback run game in the playbook.
STACKED’s take
McCarthy package could see action vs. Commanders; offers QB run game option.
J.J. McCarthy was listed as QB3 against Arizona, with head coach John Harbaugh saying it was 'unrealistic' for McCarthy to function in a full backup role. However, Harbaugh admitted that there were 'certain plays that we had prepared for' McCarthy, though they chose not to use them against Arizona. Harbaugh said on Monday that McCarthy being the No. 2 quarterback behind Jameis Winston this week is 'definitely on the table.' The source notes McCarthy is not the runner Jaxson Dart is (McCarthy averages 3.7 rushes per game for 4.9 yards per carry versus Dart's 6.1 attempts per game and 5.6 yards per carry), but 'McCarthy is an athletic 23-year-old who offers the Giants the chance to keep the quarterback run game in the playbook.' The source predicts: 'I am going to guess that we see a little bit of it against the Commanders.'
