Tanner McKee will compete with DTR for the QB2 position behind Jalen Hurts.DTR is valuable to the Eagles for the same reason he was valuable to Cleveland. He has the athletic ability to execute the same offense that Deshaun Watson or Jalen Hurts runs. However, as he showed at Cleveland he simply isn't a good/reliable enough passer to be an NFL quarterback. DTR was not at all in the running to be a starting QB in Cleveland. Kenny Pickett will be. Tanner McKee has arguably shown that he is a "good enough" QB to be (at a minimum) a reliable QB2 in the NFL. However he can't execute the running part of the Eagles current offense. He is a very poor fit in Philadelphia for that reason. It may be that Philadelphia is looking at "QB2 by committee" since neither of its choices are perfect fits.
