This is very much the right decision for the #Giants, who from the moment they traded for McCarthy knew they were looking for a reason to play him.
1) He has this year + next year remaining on his rookie contract. They get to play him and see him this year and contemplate his future after the season. Maybe, they’ll be able to recoup asset(s) if he plays well enough.
2) While there were some fools good in that 4th quarter vs Saints, McCarthy showed enough to make you feel comfortable making this move.
3) I don’t think McCarthy will improve the run game as much, but his mobility will help the offense.
4) There’s no serious investment in McCarthy. If he stinks, go back to Jameis. The locker room knows the situation w/ the QB spot. They lost Dart and are trying to manage the best they can.
5) The NFC East is up for grabs.
