From the episode
Amongst 39 qualifying quarterbacks right now in the NFL, J.J. McCarthy, first in yards per attempt, fifth in catchable target rate, seventh in CPOE, first by a mile in hero throw rate... The closest competitors to him in hero throw rate, Lamar Jackson, C.J. Stroud, Jared Goff... And McCarthy's up in the 14% range.
STACKED’s take
McCarthy leads QBs in yards per attempt, hero throw rate; film shows elite throw placement.
J.J. McCarthy ranks first among 39 qualifying quarterbacks in yards per attempt, fifth in catchable target rate, seventh in CPOE, and first by a wide margin in hero throw rate at 14% (compared to Lamar Jackson, C.J. Stroud, and Jared Goff in the 5.8–6.3% range). Debro argues McCarthy was unfairly criticized early in the season and is now playing with confidence; his per-dropback numbers were never as bad as painted, and his film shows impressive layering and throw placement regardless of opponent quality. If he continues this level and leads the Giants to the playoffs, Debro projects he will be ranked in the 15–17 QB range in offseason rankings, though Mark Sanchez suggests low 20s is more realistic.
