Norm Snead - 5 (led team for 7 seasons, but only 5 since 1966)
Michael Vick - 3
Roman Gabriel - 3
Sam Bradford - 1 (and current starter - haha)
Mark Sanchez - 1
Nick Foles - 1

Mike Boryla - 1
John Reaves - 1
Pete Liske - 1

The Eagles produced 14 pro bowls, led by Donovan McNabb with 6.

I went Eagles on the top end and Giants on the bottom end, but these heats are getting really close.

Yep. At this point I have to look at the crappy quarterbacks each team has had to see if I can find an obvious tiebreaker there.

I find myself looking for good short-timers who blow the curve. The Giants, for example, had Fran Tarkenton for five years, which I think may actually be better than having Simms or Manning for 11 years.

Philly UP/Cinci out.

Will this poll ever end?

-Yes
-No
-Not Sure
-Maybe
-Why do you care you never voted
-Not until Kate Beckinsale says so
-Can you think of something better until football starts for real
-Go back to DC thread you poof
-What do you have against Poles?

Ironically, there were more candies than teams....

I never want it to end, but since we're eliminating two teams per round, I would expect that we'll go through roughly round 16 or 17.
