No, Tanner McKee should not be the Eagles’ backup QB (but neither should Marcus Mariota)

To say Marcus Mariota hasn’t looked great this summer would be putting things nicely, I think.

Somebody tell Marcus Mariota that there isn’t a receiver on the roster that is 10 feet tall. And while you are on the sideline, tell Tanner McKee he is up. pic.twitter.com/wKHhkDRxfM
