Packers Face Backup QB Dilemma with McCord and Taylor

The Green Bay Packers are facing a challenging decision regarding their backup quarterback position as the regular season approaches. General manager Brian Gutekunst must evaluate the performances of Kyle McCord and Tyrod Taylor, with McCord showing stronger results during the preseason.

McCord, a second-year quarterback who joined the Packers in January, has completed 68.6% of his passes, while Taylor has only managed 50%. The Packers signed Taylor to a one-year deal worth $2.5 million to back up franchise quarterback Jordan Love, but McCord's impressive play raises questions about the team's roster strategy.

Additionally, the Miami Dolphins are in need of a backup quarterback, and they may be interested in claiming McCord if the Packers decide to waive him. The Packers could choose to keep three quarterbacks on the roster or release Taylor to promote McCord to the backup role. The upcoming joint practice and preseason finale against the Arizona Cardinals will be crucial for McCord's chances of securing a spot on the team.
