SHAKEUP: Giants Quarterback Controversy ERUPTS—Jameis Winston or J.J. McCarthy Going Forward?

The New York Giants’ 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints exposes a quarterback dilemma. Should John Harbaugh stick with Jameis Winston, or hand the offense to J.J. McCarthy? Patricia Traina breaks down Winston’s struggles, the Giants’ predictable passing attack, and a running game that sputtered. The discussion examines Cam Skattebo’s controversial zero-touch outing, and the coaching decision to rotate four backs.
