As a coach

I've read he still has interest in catching on with a team to continue his playing career at this point.  If that doesn't pan out and he would have interest in a role as assistant QB coach (or something along those lines) then by all means.

if he wants to suit up, fine. Give him a dirt cheap contract, but on the uni and do exactly what he did last year and coach Wentz up with a helmet on instead of head set. I think he did a awesome job helping and guiding Wentz in 2019. Id be willing to give up that roster spot for that again.

As a coach sure. Anything else? No not now.

The only catch is, if Wentz were to go down yet again, he'd probably be the first to go in just like the Seattle playoff game last year.  I really think had we played Sudfeld we may have had a better chance at coming away with a W, but they played McCown out of loyalty (i.e. Doug made a promise to him that he'd remain #2 even after Sudfeld recovered to lure him out of retirement).  I'd be OK with him on the coaching staff in some capacity but really don't want to see him suit up at this point.

I just dont see them adding any other QBs unless to this group unless its a McCown to help coach. I think they will ride with Wentz, Sudfled and Hurts to be the main 3 for playing time. Only way I see them adding in is the situation of the on the field coach. But lets hope McCown doesnt get any offers and he gives in to be added to the staff. I do see a nice upside to having him here.

There's literally no point adding another QB. Hurts has to be the back up based purely on his draft position and that he's really not got much less NFL experience than Sudfeld. At most I'd perhaps say Sudfeld is back up a few weeks then they change that.

Suds could be out as well going into week one. I dont see any trade value since he was a FA and no bites. But with only a 1 year deal, if they see something better as a option, they could flat out cut him fully depending on Hurts progress to the system.

I think they'll keep him due to familiarity with the play book but that'll be the only reason to.

Someone moved my topic from "I want the Eagles to get" to "Talk about the Eagles" then even changed the title, lol. I never put Eagles need to resign McCown, lol. Mine was QB Josh McCown(Free Agent QB)

Whos the wise guy that moved and changed the title? LOL

Fixed the topic name back, now need it moved back to where it was and should be.

To bad we wasted our 2nd round pick on a QB we don't need.

Yeah that's why we could have brought back McCown or signed Flacco. Not some gimmick QB outta college. He can't throw in the pocket. I'm an Alabama fan. I've watched. The way he played doesn't work in the NFL.

They save $1.5 million in cap space by cutting Sudfeld.  If he was going to develop it would have happened by now. 

But you point out the key issue: how can Hurts assimilate with no off season program?  No mini camp, no OTAs, maybe not much of a training camp. Yeah, he'll have a playbook and lots of video but the NFL is shut down.  This whole rookie class is in a most unique spot.

Did you follow him to OK? I'm pretty sure this was the guy throwing to Lamb.. ya know.. the WR we were all begging for. How is it Lamb was so coveted if he had a bum throwing to him? And isn't this the same QB that took your team to 2 title games.. got benched.. then came in to the SEC title game in the 4th, went 7 of 9 82 yrds with a passing and rushing TD to bring you guys back and get you the win? Do you not see what is happening in the NFL with "duel threat QBS" again?

And did you really just say "bring back McCown"?..SMDH.. come on man.

Yeah he got to lamb because his game was run around alot and avoid people until the receivers get open. And at least McCown doesn't bring the drama of a QB controversy. You don't like McCown? Sign Flacco. That pick should have gone to getting your 100 million dollar guy some weapons. Not to undermine him. The pick is the stupidest ones in recent memory. This is Smith/Watkins stupid. You don't pick backups in the 2nd round!

Man listen.. I agree.. I would've loved a stub MLB or S.. or CB... i guess they have plans for this kid we don't know about. I think they love Wentz but don't know if he can stay healthy. Broken wrist on his throwing hand in college, rib injury, back spasms, torn ACL/LCL, then a concussion??>. year after year... 

think about it.. let's say.. God forbid.. Wentz goes down ..AGAIN.. and McCown/Flacco/Old QB came in half way thru a serious run.. everybody and their mother would've been screaming that "they knew Wentz injury history and they should've drafted a QB".

Josh's playing days are behind him. He should concentrate on being a coach IMO. Wish him well.

Yeah he should and I think many believe he's going to be a really good coach. But perhaps he got a first taste of play off football and that gave him the hunger.

We are grabbing every other QB why not grab another? Maybe trade for Nick again.
