Big Blue View's Ed Valentine argues that Jameis Winston should firmly remain the New York Giants' starting quarterback over rookie J.J. McCarthy. Following a Week 5 tie against the Washington Commanders, Valentine highlights Winston's second-half performance, where he threw for 254 yards and three touchdowns to erase a 14-point deficit in the final eight minutes of regulation.

Winston has compiled a 2-0-1 record since replacing the injured Jaxson Dart, who is out for the season.
