Great QB.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Great QB and the Washington version of Michael Irvin....a complete, unabashed homer.

 

[Cmac]

With full respect.......RIP Sonny from a Cowboy fan. There was no rivalry without you.

Know the name but before my time. What a resume. Only played for two teams. Philly and Commanders. Good stuff. Rip.

For those who are almost as old as I am, the Iggles made one of the worst trades in NFL history. Probably somewhere back around 1962.

Sonny had been the back-up to Norm Van Brocklin, who was the QB on the Eagles' 1960 championship team. Van Brocklin retired and, for some inexplicable reason, the Birds traded Jurgenson to the 'Skins for, wait for it, Norm Snead. It's not even debatable who got the better of that deal.

Sonny would have been the perfect replacement for Van Brocklin as both were of the 'mad bomber' variety of QB's.

RIP, Sonny.

Body by Budweiser, but a tremendous throwing arm. Jurgensen was a terrific passer. Lombardi's last QB. RIP

HIM AND SAM HUFF WERE MY WEEKENDS IN THE FALL RIDING IN THE CAR LISTENING TO THE DEADSKIN GAMES.

A more nonathletic QB you would not find outside of Peyton Manning.
But he had a gun and most important of all he had the mind
RIP Sonny

RIP Sonny. Had a quite wonderful throwing arm, looked effortless.

He never played for the Commanders!

It’ says he played for Washington on his page?

 

[RS12]

Sonny looked like a fan who got off his couch and went straight onto the field. Had a beer gut but he could threw some absolute dimes. Always gave the Cowboys problems with ususlly a worse roster. 12 and 13 career record vs Dallas. RIP.
