From the article

The quarterback has come in, in a short period of time and really done a nice job. For them to get him for a fifth-round pick is a steal... McCarthy looked much more confident and accurate than at any time in Minnesota.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Fangio impressed by McCarthy's early Giants play; 252 yards in Week 7 win shows confidence and accuracy.

Eagles DC Vic Fangio praised McCarthy's early performance with the Giants, saying he 'really done a nice job' in a short period of time. McCarthy generated 252 yards on 20-of-28 passing in Week 7 overtime victory over Houston, looking 'much more confident and accurate than at any time in Minnesota.' The key question is whether his play in New York is replicable or a small sample; much depends on the Giants' coaching staff continuing to put him in position to make plays. Fangio respects the Giants' offensive scheme, which combines Ravens-type offense with Kansas City-type passing under coordinator Matt Nagy.
