From the article

While Tanner McKee is a capable backup, he's limited in what he brings to the field. The 2023 sixth-round pick is a classic pocket passer that lacks the mobility of modern NFL quarterbacks. He also struggles under pressure...He also struggles in tight window throws. Last week, he completed just 3-of-15 throws in tight coverage and was inaccurate on 8-of-9 throws further than ten yards downfield and outside the numbers.

McKee struggles under pressure and in tight windows; turnover risk vs. Cowboys

Eagles backup QB is a classic pocket passer lacking mobility; struggles under pressure (as shown vs. Panthers), has slow feet and long release creating sack/turnover risk; also struggles in tight windows (3-of-15 completions in tight coverage last week, inaccurate on 8-of-9 throws 10+ yards downfield outside the numbers). With Smith and Wicks out, McKee will face a Cowboys secondary that must tighten coverage on backup receivers.
