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. Dart, an excellent runner, averages 6.1 rushing attempts per games and 5.6 yards per carry.

STACKED’s take

McCarthy potentially elevated to No. 2 QB for Giants; less mobile than Dart.

J.J. McCarthy is in contention to serve as the No. 2 quarterback for the Giants behind Jameis Winston in Week 5 against the Commanders. Head coach Brian Harbaugh indicated that McCarthy being the backup 'is definitely on the table.' McCarthy is not the runner that Jaxson Dart is, averaging 3.7 rushes per game for 4.9 yards per carry in 10 games, compared to Dart's 6.1 rushing attempts per game and 5.6 yards per carry. However, McCarthy is an athletic 23-year-old who offers the Giants the ability to keep the quarterback run game in the playbook.
