I think McKee is the odd man out at QBI agree with this assessment and ultimately think it would be best for Stowers development. Stowers needs practice not stashed on IR. Having Goedert and Ertz to learn from could only help. Blocking can be learned, Jenkins can hit the road. They should have no issue getting him back to the PS. I also think Mckee is the odd man out, who is trading for Dalton? Hell Mckee probably has little to no value, Dalton definitely isn't worth anything.

Hard to find here except maybe twice a year. 9-12 year old with a bit sweeter finish is my most preferred.I’ve become quite fond of Sazerac Rye. It has a hint of citrus to it that caught my attention.

People can plan and revel in atrocities on Reddit, but I guess they draw the line at posting that the Eagles upgraded their roster, considering that post got me instantly banned in nearly every team sub-Reddit that it was posted.As far as injuries are concerned, I just think it’s so hard to assume anything. 4 weeks helps, sure…and one wrong tweak while walking the dog can hurt. It’s so unpredictable that I think it’s hard to anticipate improvement across multiple oft-injured players thanks to 4 weeks.Backup qb…yea. Our backup qb situation is "fine.” Off topic at this point, but we all liked the Nick Foles signing in 2017, as he was remembered pretty fondly. What we dont all remember is that he (understandably) took some real heat in September 2017 around final roster time because he was yet again injured and missed most of camp. There were legit doubts if he could be relied on. So that’s the all time backup QB story…someone who was capable of leading the team to anll those things…and he didn’t look so hot in September.The only semi unique backup qb problem facing the Eagles is that their backups are very different types of QB’s than their starter….so the offense is going to change if Hurts goes down, more than just retracting into protecting a major downgrade. The Eagles aren’t the only team with that issue, but it’s something that can often be avoided. Having unproven underwhelming backup QBs is something that essentially cant be avoided.That series of bannings is funny. Your first sentence is spot on. No clear answer. In fact multiple answers.Just for grins, if you are willing, ask AI its opinion of your original statementsThis roster has more holes than we have become accustomed to from recent Eagles rosters.and/orYou will all hate me for saying this, but I think this is their least talented initial 53 since 2021.
2 hours ago2 hr Hope the Eagles win it in 26.It's been so much fun watching this team the past 34 years.You all don't know it. But this place has been a sanctuary for 15+ years.Thanks.

Having unproven underwhelming backup QBs is something that essentially cant be avoided.I took a few moments to slice and dice my roster spreadsheet sorting the players by age on the Offense and Defense separately. I also brought in the contract status for each player. Then I selected each position where either (A) the player filling it was old by NFL standards, or (B) the player's contract expires at the end of this season, or (C) there are health concerns for the specific player. The 21 players are as follows, with 6 on Defense and 15 on Offense.QB 2 McKee ContractQB 3 Dalton ContractRB 1 Barkley AgeRB 2 Bigsby ContractWR 5 Brown BothWR 6 Moore ContractTE 1 Goedert BothTE 2 Mundt BothRT 1 Johnson L AgeLT 1 Mailata AgeOT 4 Johnson F BothRG 1 Steen ContractLG 1 Dickerson HealthOC 1 Jurgens Health DT 3 Ojomo ContractDT 4 Young ContractLB 1 Baun AgeCB 3 Jones BothCB 4 Ringo ContractSafety 2 Epps Age
