Don’t look now but Kenny Pickett is maybe losing the backup QB spot as we speak tonight

That’s not an NFL arm in Pickett. I understand why the Steelers turned the page. Woof. Seems like a nice kid and a nice story out of S Jersey but if Hurts is hurt for 3-4 weeks or longer it has to be Tanner McKee.

Really? Who would be the number 2? In retrospect Dallas might have been better keeping Grier instead of trading for Lance

Think it’s Tanner McKee. 6th round rookie out of Stanford drafted 2023 draft. He’s shown well in 2 preseason seasons in a row. He always seems to get the 2nd half of these preseason games though.

The truth is that the Eagles need to keep Hurts healthy. This isn’t a good QB situation if Hurts goes down.

Tanner McKee is way better. Sixth rounder out of Stanford last year. Bigger kid. Way stronger arm. Reads the field way better. He’s a statue but otherwise he’s far superior.

It’s pretty obvious Sirianni has a tough call to make but for now he told reporters after the game the pecking order hadn’t changed behind Hurts. He apparently tried to couch it though!

The Eagles had a dominant regular season that year, but with Wentz hurt teams were trying to manoeuvre into the #4 seed to play against them. The Eagles won 2 of the 3 playoff games by narrow margins. I wouldn't say they were lucky, (unlike the lucky Rams in 2021), but it's not a team history will remember.
One of the most incredible Tom Brady Super Bowls. The GOAT with Brandon Graham forcing him to fumble. Nick Foles and Tom battling it out in the air. An all time amazing game.

Grier didn't look NFL quality last night. He probably won't even be on a PS in Week 1.

Yeah Grier is basically QB4. He is more like a coach on the field who gets a few snaps but there is no expectation he will make the roster, he is basically a Kellen Moore offense tutor for the other QBs.

McKee is a 24 year old kid who did a Mormon mission for a few years before going to Stanford. He was pretty good as a rookie in last year's preseason too. I feel bad for him because he has been stuck at #3 behind guys like Pickett and Mariotta who are bigger names, but he is clearly better than those guys.

I saw the same thing.

random thought:
as many players that hardly play PS snaps, the first three weeks seem to have a larger number of season ending injuries. For many teams the first quarter makes survival of the up most importance.
