J.J. McCarthy Proves He’s the Same Guy in New York

Ted Schwerzler of purplePTSD argues that New York Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy demonstrated familiar struggles with injuries and mediocre play during a 19-11 victory against the Philadelphia Eagles. McCarthy completed 12 of 19 passes for 127 yards, took five sacks, and committed a fumble before briefly exiting the game following a hit to his ribs by Zack Baun.

The writer claims that backup quarterback Jameis Winston truly secured the win after throwing New York's only touchdown. Schwerzler asserts that McCarthy's ongoing habit of absorbing unnecessary contact and sustaining injuries threatens to derail his potential long-term success as the Giants' starting quarterback.
