McCarthy gets starting nod over Winston; better fits Giants' Dart-designed running offense.

McCarthy named Giants starting quarterback over Jameis Winston; Harbaugh stated McCarthy "gives us the best chance to play the best offense we can" and will start against Houston Texans. At 23 years old, McCarthy better approximates Jaxson Dart's skill set than the immobile Winston, allowing offensive coordinator Matt Nagy to access the running-back-friendly portions of the playbook the Giants built in the offseason. Harbaugh confirmed McCarthy has the gameplan down and the offense has been tailored toward his direction.
