From the episode

J.J. McCarthy has been announced as the starting quarterback for the New York football giants in the game against the Texans. That will be tough. Good. That will be tough. But he looked good in the fourth quarter and bad at the same time. He did the Winston. He basically looked like Jameis Winston. He threw picks and looked bad and then also threw for 243 yards and scored 23 fantasy points.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

McCarthy named Giants starter; mixed early tape but playoff path exists.

J.J. McCarthy has been announced as the starting quarterback for the Giants against the Texans; he looked mixed in limited action (threw picks and looked bad but also threw for 243 yards and scored 23 fantasy points in the fourth quarter), and while he's unlikely to look great against the Texans, the Giants had to make the transition from Jameis Winston. The real question is whether McCarthy can develop and lead the team to the playoffs, which is a legitimate possibility in this division.
