The time is coming.

Nick Foles is technically still a member of the Eagles, but not for much longer. A decision is coming soon on his mutual option, and whatever he and the Eagles decide, ultimately it will likely end with him playing for another team in 2019 (and beyond).

If Foles' Eagles career is truly over, it was a special one.

Was it the best one?

Now is as good of a time as any to figure that out -- is Foles the best quarterback in Eagles history? Who are the best quarterbacks in team history overall?

Here's our picks for the top-25 quarterbacks in Eagles history.

25. Davey O'Brien

Years with Eagles: 1939-40

Eagles stats: 22 games (19 starts), 2,614 yards, 11 TD, 34 INT, 46.7% completions

Why him: He has a prestigious college trophy named after him. He was not, uh, very good in the NFL, though he did make a Pro Bowl in 1939.

Martin Griff

24. Koy Detmer

Years with Eagles: 1998-2006

Eagles stats: 104 games (8 starts), 1,944 yards, 10 TD, 14 INT, 52% completions

Why him: Detmer was a career back-up and holder who might be most famous for his travel tendencies (he once admitted to only traveling with a tooth brush. He looked good in his only start filling in for an injured Donovan McNabb in 2002 before getting hurt himself.

23. Bobby Hoying

Years with Eagles: 1996-98

Eagles stats: 22 games (13 starts), 2,534 yards, 11 TD, 15 INT, 53.9% completions

Why him: Hoying isn't held in high regard relative to most of the players on this list but he was solid after taking over as the team's starter midseason in 1997. He was a disaster in 1998, though, and that was his last season in Philadelphia.

22. Kevin Kolb

Years with Eagles: 2007-10

Eagles stats: 19 games (7 starts), 2,082 yards, 11 TD, 14 INT, 60.8% completions

Why him: He was drafted to replace Donovan McNabb, but Mike Vick had other plans. At least he netted the Eagles a second-round pick in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals.

Don't Edit

21. Mike Boryla

Years with Eagles: 1974-76

Eagles stats: 22 games (18 starts), 996 yards, 6 TDs, 12 INT, 52.4% completions

Why him: Boryla was a Pro Bowler in 1975, though only lasted three years with the Eagles -- and four in the NFL overall.

20. A.J. Feeley

Years with Eagles: 2001-02, 2006-07

Eagles stats: 12 games (7 starts), 2,177 yards, 16 TD, 14 INT, 58.6% completions,

Why him: Feeley famously filled in after both Donovan McNabb and Koy Detmer were injured in 2002, going 4-1 down the stretch to help the Eagles win the division. That was impressive, and the Eagles were able to spin that into a second-round pick from the Dolphins.

19. Mark Sanchez

Years with Eagles: 2014-15

Eagles stats: 13 games (10 starts), 3,034 yards, 18 TD, 15 INT, 64.3% completions

Why him: Clearly, the Eagles didn't have enough quality quarterbacks to fill a 25-person list, though Sanchez was fine in 2014.

18. Jeff Garcia

Years with Eagles: 2006, 2009

Eagles stats: 9 games (6 starts), 1,309 yards, 10 TD, 1 INT, 61.7% completions

Why him: Garcia went 5-1 down the stretch filling in for an injured Donovan McNabb in 2006. He then guided the Eagles to a first-round playoff win over the Giants before falling to the Saints by three points. It was only one season, but Garcia saved the Eagles' season in a very Nick Foles-esque way.

Years with Eagles: 1996-97

Eagles stats: 21 games (18 starts), 4,478 yards, 22 TD, 19 INT, 57.7% completions, 1 playoff start

Why him: He went 7-4 taking over for Rodney Peete in 1996 and guided the Eagles to the playoffs. He threw for 300-plus yards three times that season.

Hilton Flores

16. Bubby Brister

Years with Eagles: 1993-94

Eagles stats: 17 games (10 starts), 2,412 yards, 16 TD, 6 INT, 60.3% completions

Why him: Brister was solid in 1993, guiding the Eagles to a 4-4 record in his eight starts, getting 14 touchdowns and five interceptions overall.

Don't Edit

15. Bobby Thomason

Years with Eagles: 1952-57

Eagles stats: 68 games (43 starts), 8,124 yards, 57 TD, 80 INT, 50% completions

Why him: Thomason wasn't exactly an accurate quarterback but he was a two-time Pro Bowler and led the NFL in touchdowns in 1953.

Don't Edit

14. Adrian Burk

Years with Eagles: 1951-56

Eagles stats: 70 games (37 starts), 6,203 yards, 55 TD, 77 INT, 47.6% completions, 6 rushing TD

Why him: Burk was a 2-time Pro Bowler and led the NFL in touchdown passes in 1954.

13. Sam Bradford

Years with Eagles: 2015

Eagles stats: 3,725 yards, 19 TD, 14 INT, 65% completions

Why him: Among Eagles quarterbacks with more than 25 pass attempts with the team (he had 532), Bradford is the team's all-time leader in completion percentage at 65 percent.

12. Rodney Peete

Years with Eagles: 1995-98

Eagles stats: 30 games (24 starts), 4,945 yards, 17 TD, 27 INT, 57.4% completions, 2 playoff games

Why him: His numbers weren't great, but the Eagles went 9-3 with Peete as a starter in 1995 and overall, he has one of the best winning percentages among QBs in team history (62.5 percent).

Years with Eagles: 1964-70

Eagles stats: 85 games (81 starts), 15,672 yards, 111 TD, 124 INT, 51.6% completions

Why him: He never played in a playoff game -- he quarterbacked some bad Eagles teams -- but he's one of only four quarterbacks in team history with 100 touchdown passes.

10. Roman Gabriel

Years with Eagles: 1973-77

Eagles stats: 53 games (38 starts), 7,221 yards, 47 TD, 37 INT, 55.8% completions

Why him: Gabriel was stellar in his first Eagles season, coming to Philadelphia after a trade from the Rams, where he spent the first 11 years of his career. In 1973, Gabriel led the NFL in yards, touchdowns, completions, attempts, made the Pro Bowl and won Comeback Player of the Year. He was never that productive again, though he had a decent 1975 season.

9. Mike Vick

Years with Eagles: 2009-13

Eagles stats: 54 games (42 starts), 9,984 yards, 57 TD, 33 INT, 59.5% completions, 1,998 rushing yards, 15 TD, 1 playoff start

Why him: Vick's 2010 season was something special. He won Comeback Player of the Year, made the Pro Bowl and had one of the best single-game performances from any quarterback of the last decade. It's when he had 333 passing yards, 80 rushing yards, 6 combined touchdowns and a 71.4 completion percentage in a Redskins win.

8. Sonny Jurgensen

Years with Eagles: 1957-63

Eagles stats: 83 games (39 starts), 9,639 yards, 76 TD, 73 INT, 54.4% completions

Why him: He didn't become the Eagles' full-time starter until 1961, when he put together one of the best single-season performances for a QB in team history: 3,723 yards and 32 touchdowns (with 24 interceptions). He was named both a Pro Bowler and All-Pro. He became a Hall-of-Famer mostly for his 11 years with the Redskins.

7. Tommy Thompson

Years with Eagles: 1941-50

Eagles stats: 88 games (44 starts), 10,240 yards, 90 TD, 100 INT, 51.4% completions, 6 rushing TD, 4 playoff games

Why him: He remains fifth in team history in passing yards even though he last played a game for the Eagles nearly 70 years ago. He led the Eagles to three consecutive NFL Championship games (pre-Super Bowl) which is significant.

6. Carson Wentz

Years with Eagles: 2016-present

Eagles stats: 40 games (40 starts), 10,152 yards, 70 TD, 28 INT, 63.7% completions

Why him: Barring health, Wentz should end his career as the Eagles' best quarterback of all-time, or at least challenge McNabb. He already is sixth in team history in passing yards and he's only 40 games into his career. He's a truly special talent who might even have an MVP award in his future. He has yet to play in a playoff game, though.

5. Ron Jaworski

Years with Eagles: 1977-86

Eagles stats: 142 games (137 starts), 26,963 yards, 175 TD, 151 INT, 53.3% completions, 7 playoff starts

Why him: He only made the Pro Bowl once but he was the Eagles' starting quarterback for a long time and was solid for most of it, especially in guiding the Eagles to the Super Bowl in 1980. That season, he passed for 3,529 yards, 27 TD and 12 INT.

4. Norm Van Brocklin

Years with Eagles: 1958-60

Eagles stats: 36 games (36 starts), 7,497 yards, 55 TD, 51 INT, 54.3% completions, 1 playoff game

Why him: Van Brocklin only played three seasons for the Eagles,and at the end of his career, but he was stellar all three years. The Hall-of-Famer was a Pro Bowler in all three seasons and an All-Pro in his final one in 1960. He doubled as the team's punter, too. He won MVP in 1960

3. Randall Cunningham

Years with Eagles: 1985-95

Eagles stats: 122 games (107 starts), 22,877 yards, 150 TD, 105 INT, 55.7% completions, 4,482 rushing yards, 32 TD, 7 playoff games

Why him: In a lot of ways, Cunningham revolutionized the quarterback position. He was Mike Vick before Mike Vick was Mike Vick. He had a cannon for an arm, was ridiculously athletic and has the numbers to support this ranking. He made the Pro Bowl three straight seasons -- 1988-90 -- too.

2. Nick Foles

Years with Eagles: 2012-14, 2017-18

Eagles stats: 40 games (32 starts), 8,703 yards, 58 TD, 23 INT, 62.9% completions, 6 playoff games

Why him: Oh boy. Where to begin. Foles has a Super Bowl MVP on his resume, holds two NFL single-game records (passing touchdowns, consecutive completions) and made a Pro Bowl in 2013, when he was simply stellar (27 touchdowns, 2 INT, a Pro Bowl MVP award). He's one of the best playoff quarterbacks in NFL history and will be a hero in Philadelphia ... forever. He also has never been the team's (or any team's) starter for a full season and spent most his career with the Eagles primarily as a backup. He certainly has a case for No. 1, though.

1. Donovan McNabb

Years with Eagles: 1999-2009

Eagles stats: 148 games (142 starts), 32,873 yards, 216 TD, 100 INT, 59% completions, 16 playoff starts

Why him: Was he clutch? Maybe not. But for the bulk of his career he was one of the NFL's best quarterbacks, even if Eagles fans never really wanted to appreciate that. By every statistical measure, he was the franchise's best-ever quarterback. He made six Pro Bowls and was one driving force behind all five NFC Championship appearances, and that Super Bowl. For McNabb's sustained excellence over a long period of time -- a period that was the winningest in franchise history -- he deserves the No. 1 spot.
