From the episode

J.J. McCarthy was announced as the starting quarterback for the New York Giants... J.J. McCarthy just drops back in total YOLO mode and total like James Winston fashion, just airing the ball all over the field, almost completes the comeback... I do think there's a lot of still just untapped skill with J.J. McCarthy that's there.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

McCarthy named Giants starter after Winston benching; untapped skill but interception risk remains.

J.J. McCarthy named starting quarterback for the New York Giants after Jameis Winston's poor performance against New Orleans. McCarthy came off the bench and nearly completed a comeback in YOLO fashion, airing the ball all over the field. James Winston notes McCarthy has untapped skill and showed positive film from his Vikings tenure, though he struggled with interceptions at critical moments there. The concern is drawing the Houston Texans defense in his first official start, but McCarthy will now be part of the game plan rather than a backup option.
