To keep all of this in proper perspective, Eagles are 5-9-2 during the Sirianni era in preseason games

If Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee are playing Week 1, then it’s going to be a long season.

Hurts isn't running this offense much better

So were they basically using Nicks offense? Best offense they had looked like a running back pretending to play quarterback. 😂

It seemed like a smart move to give them some sort of safety net if a McKee trade materialized before/during the draft. But to go as aggressively as they have to try to make him win the #2 job is bizarre.

Well I can’t say so far either guy has proven they are going work out. Nothing Tanner is showing so far deserves moving for a high pick, and Dalton isn’t showing he’s a better option as a backup. Ultimately I can’t see them keeping 4 and the rookie seems like a guy they will want to keep around. Maybe he stays as a stash player or perhaps the put Dalton on the PS.

He hasn't looked decent since the game and a half stretch between the 2nd half against Dallas, and the Giants game at the end of 2024. I don't recall him looking as sharp last preseason, and he was ass against the Redskins.

This McKee never had a trade value, he had a decent game and a half against the worst Giants and Cowboys teams this decade, when he got a chance last year he fell to earth hard.

If we're lucky we can package him and a 6th for a 5th to a desperate team who just want an arm to complete their fixtures and have forgotten guys like Desmond Ridder or even Garopollo are still on the street for no draft capital at all.
