Bleeding Green Nation on Tanner McKee
From the article
McKee had a rough game. He finished 12 of 22 for 55 yards (2.5 YPA), 0 TDs. and 1 INT. Most of those yards were on checkdowns to Carson Steele. McKee made several bad throws along the way, including a missed opportunity to hit a wide open Britain Covey for what should have been a TD.
STACKED’s take
McKee's poor preseason outing (12-22, 55 yards, 1 INT) dims trade value and raises backup QB uncertainty.
QB2 candidate with poor preseason performance against Cincinnati; completed 12 of 22 passes for 55 yards, 0 TDs, and 1 INT with a 2.5 yards-per-attempt average. Most yards came on checkdowns to Carson Steele; made several errant throws including a missed wide-open Britain Covey for a touchdown. The source notes this represents a stark contrast to his performance exactly 386 days prior (20-for-25, 252 yards, 2 TDs) and states 'it's hard to envision McKee garnering anything near that on the trade market' now. Coach Sirianni indicated McKee needs extra reps to get comfortable in the new system, but the Eagles appear displeased with the QB2 competition results.
