Publisher's Synopsis
Sixty-five quarterbacks have taken snaps with the Philadelphia Eagles from 1935 - when the Eagles switched from the Single Wing to the T-formation - and the end of the 2014 season. Inside the covers you'll find tidbits of Eagles history, like the misconception surrounding the Frankford Yellow Jackets, the mongrel team that was the Steagles, the wheeling and dealing that took place between Philadelphia's Main Line and the Broadway stage that bankrolled the birth of the Birds. You'll find trivia like which Eagles QB was rumored to be linked to the JFK assassination, who coached a team in the Super Bowl, who appeared in a John Wayne movie, and who is the grandfather of a pair of Hollywood movie stars. You'll find thumbnails on all 65 quarterbacks from Davey O'Brien, to Roman Gabriel, to G. J. Kinne. And you'll find the author's subjective list of the 12 Best Eagles QBs of all time. You may not agree with his rankings. But if you're an Eagles fan, you should find the book informative and interesting.
