12 things we learned from the Eagles’ third preseason game - BGN
4 - Josh McCown should be the Eagles’ No. 2 quarterback. McCown’s final stats: 17/24 (70.8%), 192 yards (8.0 average), 2 TD, 0 INT, 122.2 passer rating. To further appreciate those numbers, let’s add more context. The 40-year-old McCown only came out retirement last Saturday to sign with the Eagles. He took limited reps in just three practices and one walk-through prior to tonight’s game. Pretty impressive. McCown delivered some real accurate strikes on Thursday evening. His fade throw to JJ Arcega-Whiteside was a beauty.
