From the article

Yes, he's been guilty of throwing interceptions. But I would call them good mistakes because he was being aggressive. The Eagles will probably want to reign him in a bit but, to me, it's good that he's erring on the side of fearlessness rather than looking too scared to let it rip.

STACKED’s take

Payton showing fearless potential; source warns against waiving him.

The fifth-round pick (No. 178 overall) is showing more intriguing potential than Kyle McCord did last year before being waived. While Payton has thrown interceptions, the source calls them good mistakes because he was being aggressive rather than scared to let it rip. The Eagles shouldn't risk losing Payton to waivers, especially since Hurts is their only other quarterback under contract beyond 2026.
