The Story in 60 Seconds

Inside the Iggles writer Anthony Miller argues that the Philadelphia Eagles should bench quarterback Tanner McKee after an 0-3 stretch as starter. McKee took over the starting role after Jalen Hurts was sidelined for the season with blood clots. However, following a Week 8 loss to the Washington Commanders, Miller believes the Eagles offense is stalling and that McKee has demonstrated he is only suited to be a backup.

Miller highlights that Philadelphia is averaging just 15 points per game under McKee, who has thrown two touchdowns and two interceptions across his three starts. With the Eagles sitting at 2-6 on the season, the writer urges the team to give backup quarterback Joe Milton an opportunity to start and provide explosive plays.
