Here is a list of 5 Best Quarterbacks in Philadelphia Eagles History
1. Donovan McNabb
McNabb’s tenure as the Eagles’ starting quarterback was highlighted by a 92-49-1 regular-season record and a 9-7 postseason mark. He guided the Eagles to four consecutive NFC Championship Games, a total of five, and a Super Bowl appearance in which they lost by a field goal.
McNabb became the NFL’s first quarterback to finish the season with over 30 touchdown passes and less than ten interceptions in 2004. He completed 64% of his throws for 3,875 yards, 31 touchdowns, and eight interceptions, enough for a passer rating of 104.7. Additionally, with only 41 carries, he scored three rushing touchdowns.
2. Tommy Thompson
Thompson was a part-time starter for eight seasons and threw for only 10,240 yards with 90 touchdowns and 100 interceptions. In 1947, 1948, and 1949, he guided the Eagles to three consecutive NFL title games.
3. Nick Foles
Foles made his NFL debut and cemented his place in football history as an improbable hero. His first year in the NFL saw him go 1–6 but still throw for 240 yards a game and complete 60% of his passes, making him the first rookie to do it in NFL history.
It wouldn’t be long before setting new records was routine for him. At the end of that 2013 season, he threw for 2,891 yards, 27 touchdowns, and only two interceptions, good for a league-best passer rating of 119.2.
4. Randall Cunningham
In his 11 years as an Eagle, Cunningham had a winning percentage of 63%. There were nearly 22,000 passing yards and 150-to-105 touchdowns to interceptions in his career. Cunningham was a dual-threat quarterback with over 4,000 yards rushing, 32 rushing touchdowns, and a yards-per-carry average of 5.5.
5. Ron Jaworski
Philadelphia reached the playoffs twice under Jaworski’s leadership, in 1978 and 1979, but lost in the first round of each round. Then came the year 1980, which was a time of awe-inspiring beauty. With almost 26,000 yards passing and five seasons of starting experience under his belt, he was remarkably sturdier than most quarterbacks.
