So that’s Donovan McNabb, Ron Jaworski, Randall Cunningham, Big Dick Nick, Michael Vick, and Norm Van Brocklin. Are we sure about Vick being on there? I’d think Tommy Thompson goes on most top-six or top-eight lists, even though the younger part of the fan base has no idea who he is. Vick was the starting QB for only three seasons here, though he did have the 2010 Pro Bowl year.

Cool graphic though. Maybe they should do another spider chart for the six worst quarterbacks in franchise history, and display it as a cautionary tale of sorts, i.e. “you don’t wanna be these guys.” We’d throw Bobby Hoying on there. Kevin Kolb, too, and Mark Sanchez.

One thing that bugs me is how Nick Sirianni uses “compete” and “connect.” There’s a lack parallelism on the image. If we’re talking “fundamentals” and “accountability” then the other words should be “connectivity” and “competitiveness” to go along with football I.Q. It’s sort of how basketball players say I need to get my “mental” right or get my “wind” up. Technically, those words work when used in other ways, but the way they are typically phrased is wrong.

Anyway…
