agreed. i take issue with the clod who compiled this collection of dung for 3 reasons. first, he should know that the bears won fog bowl 20-12. secondly, how the heck can you put mcnabb in both good and bad. no way does he belong in the bad. lastly, how does jon harris not make this list. besides hi disappointing career, what i remember most is ESPN frantically searching for game film and one of the experts stating that he did not know what to say because he didnt have him going until the 5th round.

So McNabb made it on both lists. I just wasted 10 minutes of my life reading this genius tidbit.

How bogus. I vow never to participate in one of these BS stories that make you hit the arrow and scroll through the list. Why not just publish the list that we can scan? They have nothing to say so they draw it out. BS!!!!

I thought the same thing. I'm pretty sure I remember the birds losing that one too.

Bernard Williams and Antone Davis should be 1 and 2 worst.

Mamula was a bad draft pick but not a bust. He had a few productive years. He just did not live up to expectations.

Kevin Allen should be the alltime worst...not mamula.

This best/worst article should be on a top ten worst for philly com.

Honestly this list is garbage. I 2nd the Bernard Williams and Antone Davis. Where is Jon Harris 25th pick from Virginia in this list??

This was a stupid list. Putting McNabb on the Worst list shows that someone was trying to be cute but didn't want to take the time to actually put some thought into the list. Agree that Mamula on the list is a mistake. He didn't produce at expected levels, but he did play. Top 5 should include Bernard Williams, Kevin Allen, Bruce Walker (DT from UCLA that Kotite drafted in 2nd round who did not even play his senior year because he had been suspended for theft. Didn't even make it out of camp) and Jon Harris (DE from UVa who wasn't even watching the 1st round of the draft because he did not expect to be drafted so early). After that, it's a coin flip between the People's Champ and Antone. I'll go with the Champ. Too much talk and not enough production.

How is Mcnabb best and worst??? As far as I'm concerned, he's one of the best. Helped to make this team relevant again.

Best picks were fair. Worst picks were junk.

I don't understand why these shortsighted writers like to feel clever by continuing to put MKamula on such a list. I know he didn't play as well as we had hoped but he still played decent for five years. The 31.5 sacks he had were a lot more than many DE's league wide. The Eagles made many worse 1st round picks than him, Leroy Keyes (2nd overall)among them.

Didn't they draft some guy named Reggie at one time? Where is he?

seriously...McNabb on both lists? He may not have been a Super Bowl caliber QB but he wasn't one of their horrible picks. How about John Harris? Bernard Williams? Antoine Davis? Philly.com is garbage.
