    Randall > 5

    Mr. Foles did what Mcnabb could NEVER do despite having multiple Hall of Famers carrying his out of shape ass.
    If you're going to reward a head case who never got us to the trophy but was a stellar athlete for a couple of years, you might as well go with Randall, he was ridiculously gifted. The worm burners that McNabb threw, the strobe light training glasses, the head case comments...

    Randall was a head case but he really reinvigorated the franchise along with Buddy. DMac and FF were like a bank takeover.

    I'd put Randall in there, I don't know if he's already there. Leave Donnie out.

      Great points! Donnie is also probably lower on list than Jaws. Jaws also got to a supe and had some terrific years turning around the franchise. He’s also done way more for the franchise over the years since and truly loves the team.

        McNabb had at least two things going for him.

        First, between 2000 and 2004 the Eagles had great defenses statistically in points allowed.

        Second, between 2000 and 2004 the rest of the NFC East was historically bad.

          Just going on facts (which are tricky because of playing for different franchises and stuff), Jaws is a distant third behind these two.

          Career stats

          Randall: 207TDs/134INT 29,979 yds 81.5 rating 4900 rushing yds
          5: 234TDs/117 INT 37,276 yeds 85.6 rating 3400 rushing yds

          They're basically the same guy. You should slow your roll on Jaws though:

          179 TDs/164 INT (ouch) 28,190 yds 72.8 rating

          So on the whole I'd take the enigmatic Randall over the petulant McNabb and have Jaws MC the event.

              Bwah

              McNabb touting the Eagles as predicted winners of the Super Bowl is weak compared to a statement that Wentz love should be tempered after one win?

              I'd like to see you at the other table in a court room.

                I think they should have retired Cunningham's number myself.

                  Seems that if it was left up to you the players would have letters on their jersey because we would be out of numbers!

                    You'd have Jaws and Bubby Brister over DMac. (I still don't support DMac, but if you're going to put him in you've GOT to put in Randall.)

                      I love Randall! Randall is IN, Mcnabb is not. In other words Mcnabb is OUT!

                      Mr. Foles is also IN to be very clear

                        BDN has a special category

                        The man shouldn't have his number retired. He should be fucking sainted.

                          He also was a glory hog, passive aggressive and threw teammates under the bus. Every other retired number still carries on the eagles spirit and supports the franchise if alive. Mcnabb does not.
                          I have a bad drinking problem and give even less effort in terms of conditioning. I do, however, have a pair of those funky strobe light sunglasses for driving. Makes me quicker. And I play with dog toys occasionally, but that's only when I'm visiting my favorite hooker.

                            I love Nick but in no way should they retire his number. That's just dumb.

                              I agree. That's why I say he's in a separate category. Saint him. Give him free lemonade for life, give him money for a church, but unless he does it three more times...
