McCarthy's elite arm talent (14.9 AYPA) signals imminent starter role for Giants.

McCarthy's fourth-quarter performance against New York showed elite arm talent: 14.9 air yards per attempt and 17.2 air yards per completion were the most by a QB with at least 20 dropbacks in a game this season, matching his league-leading 9.3 air yards per attempt from last year. He nearly completed a comeback against backups in the fourth quarter, throwing for 243 yards (tied for sixth-most fourth-quarter passing yards this century) and a touchdown on 21 passes while rushing for 26 yards. Expected to start as early as Week 7 or Week 8 after the bye, though the source cautions that his tenure with Minnesota last year was poor for pass-catchers.
