5 Most Likely Marcus Mariota Replacements as Jalen Hurts' Backup

3. Easton Stick

Perhaps new Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore is going to be more interested in bringing a familiar face with him to Philly.

He got to watch firsthand as Easton Stick made four career starts for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2023. While those starts didn't go well for the Chargers (losing all four), the 28-year-old did show some promise.

Stick’s play isn’t why the Chargers lost. He completed 63.8% of his passes with 3 touchdowns and 1 interception, posting a 85.6 passer rating. His efficiency numbers are lacking because he was not pushing the ball downfield, but that came in part because he wasn't getting any time to throw. His average time before being sacked was just 3.36 seconds, which was below the NFL average. 

Stick isn't necessarily a "Kellen Moore guy," seeing as he was already in L.A. for three years before Moore arrived.

But Moore will have had a better look than just about anyone at what Stick brings to the table, and if he's a guy who proved in practice and the meeting rooms that he's a top-tier clipboard holder, Moore will know it.

That means Stick could be had for a bargain if Moore does believe in him.
