Former Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy receives 'A-plus' review from Giants OC
McCarthy continues to impress behind the scenes in New York. When might he get a chance to start?
Following the Giants' acquisition of former Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy, the team's coaching staff has expressed immense satisfaction with his progress. Ten days after the trade, Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy stated that McCarthy is performing remarkably well, giving him an "A-plus" rating. This assessment comes after McCarthy's brief tenure with the Vikings, where he appeared in only ten games before being let go.
In return for McCarthy, the Vikings received a fifth-round draft pick and the 2024 No. 10 overall selection. With Jaxson Dart sidelined due to a knee injury, McCarthy now has the opportunity to showcase his skills as the Giants' starting quarterback. Despite the early stage of his integration into the Giants' system, Nagy highlighted the significant strides McCarthy has made, attributing his rapid progress to the hard work of position coaches, quarterbacks coach Brian Callahan, and offensive quality control coach Mike Snyder.
