Yet two weeks ago he relieved Jameis Winston in the fourth quarter after the Giants' defense had been embarrassed by the Saints and rolled up 243 yards of offense and almost an amazing comeback win. Last Sunday, in his first start, he threw for 252 yards in leading the Giants to an upset road win in Houston. Now Giants fans are salivating about their team's prospects for an NFC East title.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

McCarthy's two Giants starts rank highly on both QBR and PFF, sparking playoff contention talk.

McCarthy relieved Jameis Winston in the fourth quarter against the Saints and rolled up 243 yards of offense with an almost-comeback win; in his first start, he threw for 252 yards leading the Giants to an upset road win in Houston; his two games for the Giants both rank very highly by both QBR and PFF metrics, with QBR preferring the New Orleans game and PFF liking the Houston game better; his correlation between PFF grade and QBR is 0.76, higher than Dart's 0.67, suggesting more consistency between process and results.
