Runyan is a good call though...loved that guy. Add Celek to the list, Mahe, too. Also, who could ever leave Urlakkerzzz!!1! off any Eagles list?
October 12, 20222 yr It's going to be subjective and depend on how old you are. There are other favorites from the past like Reggie White, Seth Joyner, John Runyan, Chuck Bednarik or others. Dawkins is more noticed for his on the field play and his fiery speeches on field. Kelce is certainly known for his excellent play on the field but the Center doesn't get noticed as much usually. He's more of a fan favorite because of his off the field involvement in the community with events, other local sports and the parade speech. He's certainly embraced Philadelphia and the fans. I like the comment that it's not a competition, more of putting certain players on the Mount Rushmore or top tier. Both are there easily.

October 12, 20222 yr Just to add to this, BWest is one of my all time favourites - his was the first jersey I ever owned, too. He was a brilliant player. Sheldon Brown, too - I loved that guy. Why do we need hierarchies?

The shame part, we have many GREATS from our past that deserve it, but if you go pre-80's... the majority of your current fanbase will have to squint their eye and say, "Who's that?" If you showed me a picture of Chuck Bednarik, I wouldn't know who he was, and I'm almost 50.
October 13, 20222 yr TO answer the OP... no. There will never be a replacing of Dawk. The guy was literally the living, breathing embodientment of an ENTIRE city.

I think Howie learned from Joe Banner’s front office demise after how the Dawk situation was handled… …then again, Banner didn’t learn from the Reggie White situation, so…

If you showed me a picture of Chuck Bednarik, I wouldn't know who he was, and I'm almost 50. I was thinking Chuck as well. Fitting for Philly that the 4 players would be 3 defensive players who all were tough and hard hitting, and the sole offensive player the hard working fan favorite lineman. Position wise 3 linemen and a safety. Sad that in the franchise history there's not a clear cut QB who would make the list. Any QB you'd name would just be endless debates, no consensus.

I never saw him play but Tommy McDonald was amazing interacting with fans.
October 13, 20222 yr I rate them the same. No need to put one above the other. Both leaders who bleed green.

Do the Detmer brothers count as one or two?
