He was always clearly better. Huge amount of us Eagles fans were all on Tanner’s side. It was never a possibility. Rosie traded for Pickett guaranteeing him the backup QB job. No competition.

He also never won the job lol fans watch the preseason and act like they know everything that happens but that isn’t the case.

Yes Tanner had an uphill battle to take Pickett job but he wasn’t clearly better if there was that massive gap they would have made him the backup.

Fact is Pickett did nothing to lose the job and McKee did nothing to take his spot and the edge went to the guy already as the backup.

And Pickett won the only game he started for us with injured ribs

Alright so Zone coverage while simulating pressure has presented our clear biggest obstacle. We need to have answers for this. We are going to see tons of it.

Pickett was guaranteed the job. Never was an option. It was clear. Proven by their moves this season acknowledging even.

It was definitely an option just clueless fans like you who want to have a conspiracy theory don’t realize it.

It was Pickett job to lose sure but McKee never did anything to win the job last year just like Pickett did nothing to lose his job.

This offseason we had two guys we were confident in as backups we had Pickett who contract expires this year or McKee who has two years left and cheaper…. Wasn’t rock science that we were going to move one of them

Couldn’t keep both…because there was a problem with the third string deserving to be the second string.

or the fact Pickett cost 2.6m that quite of bit of cap space that could be freed up plus gain a draft pick….

Tanner and Howell combine make less

But again let’s just stick with the conspiracy theories lol 😂

wait, are we arguing over kenny pickett vs tanner mckee?

Howell was a late addition over Tanner’s injury. Clearly what they saw in practice from Tanner was: Second strong…better than Pickett.

I’m confused are we acting like 2.6 mil cap hit on your backup QB is expensive? Or really cheap?

Darius Slayton not practicing with hamstring injury. Nabers already out for the season.

Thing is Kenny Pickett now has all this experience. I just wonder where Tanner would be at in his career once he gets as many games under his belt?

who cares about kenny pickett?

unless you've seen how many times hurts misses a wr opening up downfield and think it's time for a change, why is this even a topic of discussion right now?

Ham is obsessed with this...2024 wasn't the outcome he wanted. The Superbowl isn't his goal.. he needs things done a certain way, that's more important than the outcome

You take the cheaper option...right?

Key also being to clearly have to beat out our Secondary leader. Slay had a resurrection season last year…. really tough to clearly beat out.

Resurrection season being the key expression. His prior year was less than stellar. And one need go no further than James Bradberry to see an example where an incumbent with recent All Pro creds was moved to the side by a younger player. They are playing in the Not For Long league.

With that said, you appear to be arguing for retaining Slay for culture reasons. That is ironic since you consistently fail to de the value of Sirianni’s attention to culture. Can you explain that non sequitur?

Then add in Isaiah Rodgers was suspended for being such a moron. Let’s see…that guy? Or the Secondary leader? Not a difficult choice.

That sounds like prejudgment rather than fostering a meritocracy. Are you a fan of nepotism too?

But I guess your point is Ringo and Adorre have been so fantastic this season for us …

Have you reviewed the All-22 videos of Ringo’s snaps in the last two games? What percentage of his snaps were successes? What percentage failures?

After you have reviewed Ringo’s snaps take a look at Q’s snaps.

The last three seasons supposedly RG was a starting job up for grabs. That competition didn’t even really happen either season.

The competition happened, and as is appropriate in a meritocracy, there was a clear winner of that competition.

"Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman rarely misses on moves, but not re-signing Isaiah Rodgers might be high on that list.“ move to see one media article completely agreeing with me in this obvious point worn an article just written.

What did the article say about Rodgers’ ball location skills and/or 2024 pass interference penalties?

20/20 hindsight in 2025. Seeing into a crystal ball at the end of the 2024 season.

Pro Football Focus has given him an overall grade of 85.9, which ranks second

PFF is a joke, but it is the tallest midget in the room.

Pickett was just insurance for Hurts. We got him because he had the NFL experience McKee lacked and we really(at that point) hadn't seen McKee play much. The game where he(McKee) balled out told us Pickett was expendable

We have a good shot at getting Sanchez cheap after he gets out of jail 🤣
