From the article

McKee pretty clearly outplayed Dalton during the spring, at least during the media-attended practices, but it's interesting that the team felt that he should have to earn the QB2 spot, which in my opinion, he already has the last three-plus years.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

McKee outplayed Dalton in spring; three-year track record supports QB2 role.

Tanner McKee has quietly prepared as a backup quarterback for the Eagles for three full years, diligently preparing as if he's the starter. When he has gotten opportunities—with the exception of one game last season during which he played with the second-team offensive line and backups at skill positions—he has mostly looked the part of a player who could earn a starting job at some point, even if with another team. McKee pretty clearly outplayed 38-year-old Andy Dalton during spring practices, though the team felt he should have to earn the QB2 spot despite his continued progression as a pro quarterback.
