Hawkeye Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Different football generations. There are a lot of current Eagles fans who never saw Dawk play (that makes me feel ancient BTW). Kelce has a ring and that victory speech is classic but I'm sticking with Dawkins. For now. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJWolverEagle11 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Love Kelce but still Dawk for me 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beto_eagles Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I do like Kelce more, but I didn't watch Dawkins until 2002. No matter whom each fan likes better, it's nice to have two legends like them over the past 25 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwinavega Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Doesn't have to be an either/or deal. Kelce will join him in the Hall of Fame in a few years. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikepargo Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 No. And it's never going to be an either/or competition for one top spot. They'll be side-by-side, shoulder to shoulder at the top of that mountain. I've had a number of jerseys that I've simply retired as the players have moved on. But I still wear my #20, even though Dawkins is no longer playing. And once Kelce retires, I'll continue to wear #62 as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaBeach_Eagle Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Let's wait and see what he does/wears for the parade in February. Maybe that will help his case as #1 Fan Favorite. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 100% sure his last game will be as an Eagle. We are lucky to have him back this season. Even though I think he has a couple more left, I think it may be his last season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoop Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I love Kelce and all that's he's done. One of my favorites ever and I will miss him when he retires. Having said that, I highly doubt anyone will ever mean more to me as a fan than BDawk. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawkins had a few years left in him; Kelce is year to year. He's not going anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipples Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Love Kelce, but no he hasn’t surpassed Dawk for me. Dawkins is my favorite player of all time, and I’ll be surprised if anyone ever comes along that changes that. Kelce is probably #2 for me though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliny Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 1 and 1A. Dawk is my fav defensive player and Kelce on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that far a part, Dawkins last year was kelces rookie year. The one thing that kelce has that Dawkins doesn't is a ring as a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Norseman Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Probably showing my age here but Reggie White would be a close second behind Dawkins for me. Love Kelce, but its harder to watch a center's play on the field and create that mental highlight reel. It's his personality and that SB parade speech that really made him a favorite I think. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erie Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Both belong on the Eagles' Mount Rushmore. There is no choosing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie may edge Dawk for me, loved Reggie. To show my age, as a lot of people here already know, Harold has always been a top tier favorite of mine also. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully, I'm not old enough to have watched Chuck Bednarik...but he is largely considered this team's GOAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdman#12 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I'm not into all the rankings and comparison stuff that goes on these days.......When it comes to all time eagles, I have a bunch that I really liked and they played all different positions. Dawkins Andre Waters Stan Walters John Runyan Reggie White Jerome Brown Seth Joyner Jerry Sisemore Wibert Montgomery Bill Bergey Quick and Carmichael Harold Jackson Tim Rossovich And quite a few more.........some good teams and some really bad teams, but great memories.

I would move Reggie up three places and put Carmichael and Bergey into the top 5. Runyan is a good call though...loved that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eagles have had some really good hard nosed players that were, unfortunately, stuck in a bad organization. Jerry Wolman, Leonard Tose, Norman Braman were "business" men who really didn't care much about winning.....just maximizing profit or using the team as a social thing. People here complain about Jeffrey Lurie, which is ridiculous, since he is the best owner the eagles ever had and one of the best in the NFL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
