QB controversy

I'm sure Kyle is happy just to hear his name and so am I, but would have been nice to go to a spot where there was a more realistic chance to start without an injury. But we'll see how he does!

The QB for my favorite college team was drafted by my favorite pro team. I approve.

 

[AngryOtto]

Not the best spot for him. It will allow him to learn the nfl and continue to develop. Feel other teams would have given him a great chance to quicker playing time.

 

[SouthernCuse]

Went before Will Howard, that has to count for something.

 

[Jake]

Hey, I think this is a good spot for him. Solid OL…but I’m not sure he’s a tushpush guy.

 

[djcon57]

The best franchise currently in the nfl. Howie just knows the draft. They know value. He’ll step in and immediately battle McKee for the number 2 spot

 

[dwilmont44]

When the tush push is banned McCord will become the starter

Likewise, first time I've ever shouted at the TV for a sixth round pick. Thrilled.

It's not a bad spot. Tanner McKee likely gets traded after this season if McCord proves he can be QB2 (he will). Eagles backup QB gets more snaps than most teams because they're likely to have nothing to play for the last game of the year and have some mop up duty available.

 

[Cuse12]

Sweet! Hope he wins the backup spot and gets some PT.

Eagles backup QBs are trash so definitely has a shot at making the 53

Eagles got a great player and great person.

 

[RF2044]

I think this is a great spot. He'll cement himself as the #2, and they'll be excited about paying the backup rookie contract money.

He's way better than most backups will be, and he'll have a chance to learn behind a franchise QB, in a winning organization coming off of a superbowl.

Stopped worrying about immediate playing time once he got past the third round.

Time for him to prove his value and outshoot the draft position.

 

[OttosShoes]

I think it's a good spot. Jalen is a great guy he can learn under and he can get some snaps if there's injuries or garbage minutes/end of season games.

And as an Eagles fan I'm thrilled we'll have a better option than Kenny Pickett.

Woot

Go Birds.

Really good perspective. Many of the teams that could've offered a quicker chance of playing time are in that position because they aren't well run and can't get out of their own way, so that's a definite advantage for Philly.

Nothing is guaranteed -- he still needs to make the team -- but I'm confident that with his arm talent, and his price tag [on a rookie contract], he'll do just that.

 

[GoSU96]

Go grab #5. He ain’t getting 6.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Wish he ended up with the Steelers. He’s better than Will Howard. Steelers appear to be tanking this season.

Agree completely. Worse things than being a solid number two. This is a great spot for him.
