McCarthy appears to be losing ground for the QB2 job as Carson Wentz climbs into the backup role; veterans’ experience and familiarity with the playbook give Wentz the edge, and McCarthy’s questionable camp performance (plus a modest 2025 TD/INT line) puts his spot in jeopardy ahead of the preseason.
