Maybe the idea of adding another 23-year-old quarterback with NFL experience and upside was too good for the Giants to pass up. Both as a hedge against Winston's ups and downs, and perhaps as a long-term option if Dart doesn't become what the Giants believe he will. I have mixed feelings about the trade. If McCarthy couldn't handle Minnesota or succeed with quarterback guru Kevin O'Connell as his coach, what makes the Giants believe he can succeed in New York?

Giants acquired McCarthy as hedge on Winston; mixed outlook given Minnesota struggles.

Giants acquired the 23-year-old QB from the Vikings as both a hedge against Jameis Winston's inconsistency and potentially as a long-term option if Tommy Cutlets doesn't develop as the Giants believe. The source expresses mixed feelings, questioning whether McCarthy can succeed in New York if he couldn't handle Minnesota or succeed with quarterback guru Kevin O'Connell. However, the source also notes this is a better swing than Justin Fields or Gardner Minshew.
