STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

McCarthy's efficiency metrics competitive with Daniels despite facing double the pressure rate.

McCarthy's performance metrics against Jayden Daniels show competitive efficiency despite higher pressure: McCarthy posted near-zero CPOE (63.9% completion) vs. Daniels' -2.1% CPOE (69.7% completion); McCarthy's deep throw rate was 11.1% vs. Daniels' 3.0%; McCarthy threw into tight windows 11.1% vs. Daniels' 6.1%; both had nearly identical times to throw (2.59 vs. 2.55 seconds). McCarthy faced 38.5% pressure rate vs. Daniels' 20.5%, yet the source notes nothing in McCarthy's performance as a Giant suggests he cannot be productive at the NFL level, and he gave the Giants a chance to win despite the loss.
