The Giants are handing the offense to J.J. McCarthy, and John Harbaugh is making a massive gamble with his team sitting in first place! Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber originally preferred Jameis Winston, but both see the upside in giving McCarthy a chance. Can his mobility rescue a disastrous Giants running game, or will this quarterback switch threaten their division lead? Shaun Morash explains why he wanted McCarthy all along, while Harbaugh boldly declares the Giants can win more than just the division.
Plus, the guys debate whether McCarthy's impressive fourth quarter against the Saints was legitimate or inflated by prevent defense and a disastrous New Orleans offense. They revisit their original predictions for McCarthy's first Giants start, question why Minnesota gave up on him so quickly, and explore whether a change of scenery could unlock the former first-round pick. Evan even sparks a heated Nolan Ryan debate with Tiki over whether certain players need to leave their original teams to become stars.
