From the episode

I we saw all the things that we never saw in Minnesota. So we have evidence of what some of the people that have been the most insufferable on the Internet about the last two and a half years... he was doing and executing, you know, touch balls layered layered over defenders putting it like in prime position... he could end up having one of the just being the the next in the bounce back quarterback rehab resuscitation era that we live in now.

STACKED’s take

McCarthy shows legitimate QB skills in Giants debut; potential reclamation candidate after Minnesota struggles.

After two strong outings with the Giants (four touchdown passes in the fourth quarter against the Saints, impressive performance against the Texans despite a run-heavy game plan), McCarthy is showing evidence of the touch-ball placement and layered throws over defenders that were never seen in Minnesota. The speaker believes this could represent a legitimate quarterback reclamation arc, with McCarthy executing actual NFL quarterback stuff rather than just running around; the fit appears better with the Giants' simplified offense and Harbaugh's system compared to Kevin O'Connell's scheme in Minnesota.
