Philadelphia has a rich history at the quarterback position. Donovan McNabb, Ron Jaworski, Michael Vick, Randall Cunningham, and Sonny Jurgensen all took snaps for the franchise long before Nick Foles, Carson Wentz, and Jalen Hurts became household names.
Only one of those players is a Super Bowl champion, and during a recent YouTube sit-down with USA Today Sports, Eagles legend Fletcher Cox was asked questions about the franchise, including who the greatest quarterback in franchise history should be. Cox named Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles as that guy without blinking or having to think about it.
The Super Bowl championship and a statue outside Lincoln Financial Field were the biggest reasons for Foles’s landing ahead of McNabb, Cunningham, Jaworkski, and others.
The recently retired Foles will finish with a postseason record of 4-1 during his final two years in Philadelphia, including winning MVP of Super Bowl LII. In place of an injured Carson Wentz, Foles went 6-2 in the regular season in his final two years in Philadelphia, leading the Eagles to two playoff berths.
Foles played 11 seasons for six teams, including the Eagles and Bears.
Foles has passed for 14,227 yards and 82 touchdowns, earning one Pro Bowl nomination, the Super Bowl MVP, and the Lombardi Trophy.
