Win or lose Sunday night, the Eagles current backup QB Josh McCown has earned himself a spot with the team next season. Now whether that’s as a player or a coach, is up to him.

The 40-year-old veteran has been a huge difference-maker for the team this season. McCown has personally made sure to lift the burden off of Wentz’s shoulders as of late. He assisted Robert Davis and Deontay Burnett in understanding the playbook in such a short time after their call-ups from the practice squad.

He’s also been a huge factor in the development of Greg Ward’s game.
