How will the Giants resolve their quarterback ‘problem’ if J.J. McCarthy continues to play well?

Anthony Del Genio examines the New York Giants' future quarterback situation involving Jaxson Dart and J.J. McCarthy. Following Dart's knee injury in Week 2, the Giants acquired McCarthy from the Minnesota Vikings for a fifth-round draft pick. McCarthy recently led New York to a road victory over the Houston Texans with 252 passing yards, creating questions about how general manager Joe Schoen should manage both signal-callers moving forward.

Analyzing metrics from ESPN QBR and Pro Football Focus grades, Del Genio compares both passers' careers and production. The writer evaluates several future scenarios for the franchise, including trading either McCarthy or Dart for draft capital or holding an open competition for the starting role during the 2027 training camp.
