Philadelphia Eagles Top 5 Quarterbacks of All Time
5th July 2024
(last updated on January 18, 2026)
Fly Eagles fly … on the road to victory! The Philadelphia Eagles have one of the most passionate, disgruntled, and tortured fan bases in the NFL. I know because I am part of it. Although they couldn’t repeat, the City of Brotherly Love is still kind of basking in the glow of a statement victory at Super Bowl LIX over the Chiefs. Started in 1933, the franchise has only won five championships, but they have been close many times. They are fifth all time in regular-season victories (649) and sixth in postseason wins (29). Since 2000, only the New England Patriots have had more conference championship appearances than the Eagles. This franchise has had some of football’s most legendary names, but this list will just focus on the signal-callers. Who are the best QBs in the history of Franklin Field, Veterans Stadium, and Lincoln Financial Field? Some of these slingers made the cut because they put up big numbers, and others made the cut because they led their team to championship glory. Before someone gets thrown in jail at the Vet, here are some of the top quarterbacks in Philadelphia Eagles history.

After his triumphant performance in Super Bowl LIX, Jalen Hurts had to be added this list of the top quarterbacks in Philadelphia Eagles history. In his five seasons as the starting QB for the Birds, he has a regular-season record of 57-25 with a playoff trip every season. That includes six postseason wins, two Super Bowl appearances, and a Lombardi Trophy. His career numbers are rock solid: completion % (64.4), passing TDs to INTs (110-45), passing yards (17,891), Y/C (11.6), and passer rating (94.4). An extremely mobile quarterback, Hurts already has four seasons of 600+ rushing yards. This beneficiary of the Brotherly Shove also has 318 rushing first downs and 63 rushing TDs (third in NFL history). To double down, he is already the all-time playoff leader in rushing TDs for a QB with 10. The reigning Super Bowl MVP outdueled Patrick Mahomes with a 119.7 passer rating, a 77.3 completion %, 2 passing TDs, and a tush-push TD to get the Eagles their second Super Bowl title. Jalen Hurts often gets ranked behind Allen, Burrow, and Jackson in QB debates, but he has something not one of them has, and that makes him one of the top quarterbacks ever for the Philadelphia Eagles.
