I think it says more how many people, including me, wouldn't take McNabb.

The lists should only include players contributions as eagles.  I.E. how good were they when they were here.

A HOF player who was washed up when here is dumb to include.

I wasn't old enough to watch Carter when he was here, but not sure dude who had 1500 yards over 3 seasons should be on an ultimate eagles list.   Was carter, at his best an eagle, better than quick at his best as an eagle?  No.

QB Eagles

2010 Mike Vick had one of the greatest Eagle QB seasons of all time. He was better than he ever had been in Atlanta, kinda like when Randall went to the Vikings and had his best season as a 50 year-old guy.

2011-2013 Vick was nothing special. C'mon. We all saw it.

Quarterback rating is strange sometimes, but it's usually a decent guidepost. Here's the top 10 Eagle QB seasons of all time, minimum 10 starts:

2013 Nick Foles - 119.2
2004 Donovan McNabb - 104.7
2017 Carson Wentz - 101.9
2010 Michael Vick - 100.2
2006 Donovan McNabb - 95.5
2009 Donovan McNabb - 92.9
1990 Randall Cunningham - 91.6
1980 Ron Jaworski - 91.0
2007 Donovan McNabb - 89.9
1961 Sonny Jurgensen - 88.1

You'd have to build the team around him, starting with Alshon Jeffery and Chad Lewis to catch all those worm burners.

The man. The myth. The legend.

Rome

Foles won a Super Bowl.  He's #1 until someone else does.

What the hell are you talking about?  He's one of the most exciting football players I've ever seen.  He threw a beautiful, accurate long ball, and was outright stunning in the open field.  Without looking it up, he's top three all time QB rushing yards, and has to be up there for rushing TDs as well.

Vick's not accurate. I don't remember the stat, but at Atlanta, his completion percentage was probably closer to 50% than 60%. Also, I don't think he ever threw for more than 3,000 yards in a season.

Early in his career, the only reason he was fun to watch, or even able to be an NFL QB, was because of how fast he was. Though I do think he became a better QB under Reid's tutelage.

What I'm surprised most of all from these lists is how frequent Vick appears on their lists.

He was fun to watch the first year and up to the Miracle in the Meadowlands III...but after that, pure trash. I felt bad because refs and the NFL had it in for him. But otherwise, he wasn't a good QB at all.

He wouldn't be on any top 10 QB's for anything.

he would just be a third qb....could add a skill set unseen ever in the nfl...wild cat...goal line looks...short yardage

also the eagles have an embarrassing QB history...who's ahead of him as a 3QB?

Other than San Fran, I can't really think of a team that's had a high number of great quarterbacks.

The man. The myth. The legend.

Rome

Dallas had Staubach, Aikman and Romo.  That's a damn fine list.

if you romanticize 2006 you can argue garcia...foles is justifiable...for the old heads you can do jaws...your cousin and your cousin only will want 5

but in terms of pure talent its not a debate
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

they have other guys but no one that can add anything that wentz and randall dont....cept vick...he was in a class by himself as far as specific skill sets

Looked it up.  He's #5 all time rushing TDs for a QB (super bowl era).  Randall is tied for #6.  McNabb is #10.  Three of the top 10 were Eagles.

He's #3 all time QB rushing yards.  Donovan is #7.  Randall, #1.

Thats two different ways that Vick is top ten of all QBs, not just Eagles QBs.

Sorry, I meant to say, he wouldn't be on any of 'MY' top 10 QB's for anything. I know he was one of the best stat wise, but just never felt we could win with him.
