STACKED’s take
McCarthy's 243-yard, 3-TD-drive relief performance sparks QB conversation.
J.J. McCarthy relieved Jameis Winston with 11:25 left in the game at 34-10 and led three scoring drives, throwing for 243 yards in less than a quarter of play. McCarthy's final stats: 11/21 (52%), 243 passing yards (11.6 yards per attempt), 2 rushes for 26 rushing yards (led the team), 1 TD, 1 INT, 1 sack, +0.38 EPA/play (87th percentile), 61% success rate, +8.5% CPOE, and 17.2 yards average depth of completion. The source notes McCarthy's performance will cause a serious quarterback conversation for the Giants heading into Week 7 against Houston, and his legs could help the Giants' overall rushing attack. It remains unclear when McCarthy will assume the starting quarterback spot, but it will likely happen soon—perhaps after the bye week or in Week 7.
