Top 3 Eagles Quarterbacks!

 

Below are the top 3 quarterbacks in Eagles history.

3. Randall Cunningham

Randall Cunningham played 11 NFL seasons with the Eagles and being the starter in eight.. Within those 8, here are his stats:

Passing Yards: 22,877 yards

Rushing Yards: 4,482 yards

Rushing Touchdowns: 32 touchdowns

Passer Rating: 78.7 rating

It may also be noted that Cunningham took the Eagles to the playoffs 5 times in those 8 years however only one playoff win. He lastly has 3 pro bowls in those eight seasons. His legacy also matters as he was the original dual-threat QB that would pave the way for other dual threat quarterbacks such as the next 2 on this list. The reason he makes 3 on this list is the fact that while he was good, he could not get over the hump of the divisional round even with great talent of the Eagles.

2. Jalen Hurts

Some could argue that through his first 5 seasons, he is the greatest Eagles quarterback in their history, but as of right now, our number one pick has a slight edge.

Within those 5 seasons, he has over 17,000 passing yards, 121 passing touchdowns, over 3,000 rushing yards, and 63 rushing td's. Now of course Cunningham's stats are better but also consider how close Hurts stats are and he has played in 3 less seasons. We also have to give arguably the most important stat when discussing quarterbacks and that is super bowls. Hurts has been to two and even winning one of them. Cunningham won only one playoff game, while Hurts has already won six. Hurts has been to the playoffs every year through his first five! Only 6 other QB's can say that with one of them being the QB below . 

1. Donovan McNabb

When reviewing all the stats, you have to give the best QB in franchise history to Donovan McNabb. With the Eagles, he started 11 seasons thereby having the best passing stats of any Eagles QB. He is a 6 time pro-bowler and has 9 playoff wins under his belt. In 2004, he won offensive player of the year and most impressively, has played in 5 championship games over is tenure with the birds. In 2004, he also went to the super bowl but barely lost to the patriots. The following offseason, he graced the cover of Madden.  His resume as of right now just clearly outshines any other QB and therefore I declare him the best QB.
