00:00If you think it couldn't get any worse, Eagles fans, boy, oh, boy, what a difference a couple
00:06of years make. I'd like to remind Eagles fans, Craig, stop me if you remember this. Remember,
00:11there was, I believe it was two preseasons ago in which there was a big rumbling of,
00:18oh, my God, this guy Tanner McGee is going to be, he's the future quarterback. He is going to be
00:22our quarterback. He can pass. He's got an arm. Why are we playing Jalen Hurts? He's only good
00:27in the tush push. What did we do? Well, you had your shot with Tanner McGee, and it appears that
00:34they've seen enough of him, so they're now moving on to Joe Milton as the starting quarterback against
00:41the Giants on Sunday. What was your initial thoughts when you heard this come out today?
00:48Well, count me as one of those people that really liked Tanner McGee, so yeah, I got to take a
00:55big
00:55hell on that one. I thought McKee was legit. I thought he'd be playing himself into a starting
01:00role next season, and, you know, now he looks more like Aiden O'Connell than he does Jalen Hurts,
01:06unfortunately, for him, so yeah, I mean, Joe Milton probably gives them a little bit better of a chance
01:11to win. I don't know that he's better than McKee, but he can run, so maybe he's a little bit
01:16more
01:17like Hurts in a way, but, you know, there's a few teams that are white flagging it, you know,
01:23like Philadelphia, I can't bet them right now. The Chargers can't bet them right now. Colts
01:30can't bet them right now. It's like, like, I feel better about the Jets and Dolphins than I do those
01:34teams, because I feel like those teams, like, have a chance to win or a chance to cover. The way
01:39that
01:39those teams are playing, it feels, Joe, I hate to say it, it feels like the NBA in April, NBA
01:45late
01:45March and April. It feels like there's a few teams that are chasing the bottom right now
01:48and just trying to get themselves draft picks for the future, and Philadelphia should do that, Joe.
01:55I mean, they absolutely should do that at this point. Look, Barkley's barely healthy. Smith is
02:00not healthy. They have nobody else on the other side. They were a disaster against Washington.
02:05It's a rare season where the Eagles are going to drop 11, 12 games. I think we've reached it.
02:09I think it's the season. Yeah, it's just, it's so strange to me, because Harry Roseman has really
02:19pushed a lot of the right buttons here in Philadelphia over the years, but it always
02:25seems like it was very fragile here. The idea that Nick Sirianni and the shift now, don't forget,
02:33this was a team that carried four quarterbacks heading into the season. Remember, Andy Dalton
02:38was supposed to push Tanner McGee, and all of a sudden, they brought Andy Dalton in that first
02:44game, and he threw that intersection in the end zone, and then they promptly got rid of him,
02:49and then Tanner McGee was going to be the guy, and they were hopeful that they were going to be
02:54able
02:55to get, but then they, so no Dalton. Now McGee is moving on, and now you're turning to a guy
03:01that
03:02wasn't on the team at all, and you're going to like a fifth quarterback now, all why Sean Mannion
03:09was supposed to be the new offensive guru, right? None of this is gone according to plan, but boy,
03:16did they woefully underestimate and set up that quarterback room there to be anything in case,
03:22and this was always a possibility with Jalen Hurts, like the idea that you had no legit backup to try
03:30and mitigate this is kind of shocking to me. Yeah, that I don't know about. I don't think any team
03:37really has a legit backup quarterback. Like, I think it's really hard to find in the NFL. I thought
03:41McKee was one of those guys, but if you look around the league. The Ravens just did.
03:48Oh, if you could find some, if you could find somebody in the middle of the season, maybe.
03:52They made a trade though, like, like, but you talked about in the season, not before.
