Kyle McCord: Waived by Eagles

He should end up on a practice squad somewhere. He’s got a big arm and resume which should overcome a couple of bad preseason games.

Frankly, I would prefer he go elsewhere.
I just think the pressure to perform in front of the home crowd is too much for him - he really stunk in the preseason there.
And there is no legitimate path to playing time in the near future.
The only problem is will anyone give him a look after his preseason.

I would think the hometown pressure you mentioned had absolutely nothing to do with his performance in Training Camp/Preseason. Zilch,

That said, he'll be better off somewhere else. Hard to see a pathway to practice reps there as the No. 4. No intended as a shot at the Eagles, but really any team.

The limited stuff i saw, his timing seemed off on most of his throws.

On the flip side maybe our offense can make the next new guy look that good

The whole Eagles team after their starters was hot garbage. O line and receivers were dreadful. Counted 4 drops Thursday in addition to McCords bad throws. The whole team’s timing seemed off.

He made a living out of well timed back shoulder throws last year. They are not doing that in Philly.

He just needs time to adjust to the pro game. I think he will find a home.
 
Sadly it was a weird team for him to be drafted by. Not much of a chance he was going to make the 53 man roster.. He will catch on to a practice squad. Hopefully a season or two on a practice squad he can catch on to a roster. Getting real hard for QBs to stick anymore with most teams going to only 2 QBs on the 53 man roster.

I don't agree at all.

The Eagles were the perfect team for him.

This is a franchise that is very good at developing young QBs.

Look at Tanner McKeee, the Eagles' former 6th round pick who is now being described as a future NFL starter.

Jalen Hurts was drafted to be a back-up to Carson Wentz. And, there are other examples.

I watched Kyle all pre-season.

He never looked like the guy I saw last fall in the Dome.

He was slow, indecisive and inaccurate. He looked befuddled.

I have no doubt that the Eagles were planning on him being the third QB this season. His awful performance during the pre-season made that impossible.

I hope - and expect - that the Birds bring him back to the Practice Squad.

I guess I read to much into the Qb1 and 2 where solid locks. He would have had to play LIGHTS OUT to move them. Developing him as a number 3 is smart.

You might be right it's a great spot for him and I'm just taking is poor preseason the wrong way, only time will tell.
 
Frankly, I assumed that the reason why he stunk so badly in preseason is that he was frankly trying too hard.
We got great reports of him in rookie camp - and then he proceeded to stink out training camp and preseason. I know one Eagles reporter said it was like he was a different kid from rookie camp.
Everyone seemed confused why he took such a drastic step back.

Heck - I am confused why he performed so badly.

It was all just a ruse to get him through waivers...

Hope he catches on somewhere.

Would suck to see him forego his final year of avialability, only to not stick on an NFL roster [even in a practice squad capacity].

Rooting for him.

If he’s out of work or even if he’s just on practice squad, he will be the poster child for don’t leave early and stay in school for the NIL era.

Someone should’ve given him both Judah’s and Kadary’s phone #…..

I’m shocked id like to know what happened to him. He’s a much better player than he showed

Lot's of elite college QBs couldn't hack it in the pros. Not saying that's him yet, it's too early to say, but flaming out shouldn't be that surprising, if it happens.

He didn't really leave early though.

Yeah as far as we know he didn’t get approved for the extra year before having to declare and considering what d-bags the NCAA are, he may not have gotten the waiver approved. There are a lot of great college QBs and great players in general who struggle once they get to an NFL camp. It’s really hard to make an NFL roster, particularly at QB where most teams carry 3 guys. Hope the best for him

After getting the waiver for the extra year of eligibility, he should'v come back to college and taken the NIL $$ because there are a lot of great college QBs and great players in general who struggle once they get to an NFL camp.
