The Vikings moved on from McCarthy, who has reunited with his college coach. At some point, the Giants will want to see what he can do. I'm not optimistic, especially with the intense media pressure in New York, but he's in as good a spot as he could be with a coach who understands him and an injury-prone QB1.
