If he continues to play awesome and – because if he does that and say like he leads the Giants to the playoffs...

Sanchez expects media overcorrection on McCarthy if Giants make playoffs, citing Daniel Jones precedent.

Mark Sanchez predicts a potential overcorrection in media perception of McCarthy if he continues to play well and leads the Giants to the playoffs; he draws a parallel to Daniel Jones's rise and fall, noting that while McCarthy is better than Jones, the narrative cycle of early crowning and redemption stories typically leads to massive swings in public opinion.
