7. I didn't know that. Traded from the (then) Redskins to the Eagles for Sonny Jurgensen.

The article is wrong when it says Jurgensen led the Eagles to the 1960 NFL Championship over the Packers. Jurgensen played in all 12 games, but only had 44 completions that year. Norm Van Brocklin was their leader and starting QB. The next year he started coaching the Vikings.

IIRC Jurgensen was one of first modern passers. He could sling it. He always ended up in competition... brush Jan 2024 #8

He was a slinger. He played more like the AFL QBs of the time rsdsharp Jan 2024 #10
