we need to slow down on the praise. His overall numbers still aren't great, and he threw a crippling interception to end Thursday Night Football. He still isn't showing that he's a starting-caliber QB.

Better in New York but numbers still aren't great; not starting-caliber yet.

McCarthy has certainly looked better in New York than he did in Minnesota, but Father Time says we need to slow down on the praise. His overall numbers still aren't great, and he threw a crippling interception to end Thursday Night Football. He still isn't showing that he's a starting-caliber QB. McCarthy is ranked 42nd overall.
