Kurt Warner isn't sold on New York Giants QB J.J. McCarthy ... yet

Kurt Warner isn't buying into the hype surrounding New York Giants QB J.J. McCarthy at this point.

The New York Giants signed J.J. McCarthy in an attempt to replace their injured star quarterback, Jaxson Dart, who tore his knee in Week 2. Many deemed the move as a gamble, as McCarthy had only recently come out of college and was not the type of player to pick up the mantle from a fallen star. However, McCarthy has quickly adapted to his new role and is now making an impact.

Giants' analyst, Hall of Famer Kurt Warner, expressed some reservations about McCarthy's immediate impact. Warner felt that it was premature to judge McCarthy's abilities, as he needed more time to adjust to the NFL's demands compared to his college experience. McCarthy has started to perform better in New York, and the team won a game, but Warner still believes McCarthy requires more time to reach his full potential.

Fans are skeptical given their history of prolonged struggles finding a reliable franchise quarterback, but Warner remains optimistic that McCarthy will eventually prove his worth.
