Jurgensen played for the Eagles from 1957 to 1963, and was their starting QB for his last 3 seasons there.
He was traded to the Redskins, and was their starter from 1964 until George Allen arrived in 1971. (I always thought that Allen preferred the newly-acquired Bill Kilmer over Jurgy, but Sonny was injured early in 1971, thus losing the job to Kilmer.)
Jurgensen started all but 3 games during his first 7 seasons with Washington. He stayed on as a backup for 4 more seasons, starting as many as 4 games in three of those years.
He was a 5-time Pro-Bowler (4 with the Redskins) and led the NFL in passing yards 5 times and in pass completions 4 times. He also passed for more then 400 yards in a single game five times, and threw five touchdown passes in a game twice.
Jurgensen retired after the 1974 season, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1983.
After his playing career he became a broadcaster, first for CBS and then 38 seasons for the Redskins.
