From the article

it could've been nice to just actually focus on preparing QB2 for the season instead of doing a competition where the players split the reps and seemingly did not benefit from that setup. Not to mention trying to get Cole Payton developmental snaps in the preseason, which they didn't really do outside of the first preseason game.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Payton limited to QB4 role; minimal preseason development snaps.

Cole Payton is listed as the fourth quarterback on the Eagles' 53-man roster. The source criticizes the Eagles' QB2 competition setup, noting that splitting reps between McKee and Dalton did not benefit the players, and that Payton did not receive meaningful developmental snaps in the preseason outside of the first game.
