McCarthy to get his shot in New York

He will be a backup his entire career. That is what he is. Nothing wrong with it.

Label it what you will, but its fact. Honestly, I didnt even want to go this deep on JJM at this point. Sometimes the fingers wont listen to the brain.

Same, here i am reading more about the giants backup QB.

No the coaches didnt do everything right and he missed Udinski more then I think most fans realize.
But when u miss 20 something out of 30 some starts? The buck starts and ends with that.
Teasley moved him cause something was going on in the building and my guess is that something wasnt good. Otherwise, why give up on a young prospect on a rook contract?

I think the kid had a lot of the locker room still in his corner...and the "competition" going to Kyler created a "schism" (hadn't dusted that one off for awhile).

He did miss a lot of time, though how much he would've missed if the starts had been vital for playoff seeding...eh...I think things would've changed.

Meanwhile, he's known as "glass", but got replaced by a QB that played half as many starts last season, has completed 1 season in the last 4-5, and his peers?
Nix ended '25 on IR.
Wentz broke his shoulder for us, IR last season.
Daniels is in and out constantly.
Penix...well, we saw that coming.
Jones missed most of '25 on IR.
Caleb? Carted out of our Week 2 game.
Mahomes? Ended '25 on IR.
Dart? Ironically, likely to watch JJM the rest of this season.
Hurts? Blood clots, out for rest of '26.

Lots of "glass" out there.

The funniest part of this whole deal is McCarthy being elevated to near mythical status based on garbage time numbers against the 31st ranked D’s backups.
