Philadelphia’s mayor says he won’t jinx the Eagles ahead of their Super Bowl appearance by placing the team’s jersey on the statue of William Penn atop City Hall.

Democratic Mayor Jim Kenney said Tuesday he wants the city’s football team to win the big game. But his spokesman tells WCAU-TV he didn’t want to risk putting the jersey on the statue.

The city placed a Phillies baseball cap on the statue during the 1993 World Series and a Flyers jersey on the statue during the 1997 Stanley Cup Final. Both teams lost.

The Philadelphia Eagles have never won a Super Bowl. They face the New England Patriots on Feb. 4 in Minneapolis.

Kenney says he plans to watch the game in Philadelphia.

The QB spectrum in the NFL is at an interesting juncture right now. Many of the established players at the position are getting older http://www.indianapoliscoltsteamonline.com/bobby-okereke-jersey , playing alongside younger talents at the position who have only registered five years or less in the pro ranks. There is a clear disparity between the QBs who are old and young, and it's adding another layer of depth with each passing season, sure to continue into the upcoming 2016 campaign.The question is, how much do the leagues old guard of elite QBs have left in the tank http://www.jacksonvillejaguarsteamonline.com/jawaan-taylor-jersey , and how many younger talents at the position are developing at a rate which will replace them? It's actually a fairly even split, and has shown to be the nature of the NFL over the years, that most of the game's stars are completely replaceable. Not all of (in fact, most) of the declining names on this list had unproductive seasons last year http://www.jacksonvillejaguarsteamonline.com/gardner-minshew-ii-jersey , but factoring in their age, and reasonable projections for subsequent years, and their drop off could start to show rapidly. The rising stars at the position on here have exhibited at minimum one season where they produced at an upper-tier level, or at least showed flashes of brilliance which could materialize in the years to come.A fair amount of the QBs in the league also fall into a kind of tweener category http://www.losangelesramsteamonline.com/darrell-henderson-jersey , meaning they are directly in their prime right now. They likely won't get much better, but they probably aren't going to start their slide for at least the next couple of seasons. This would apply to QBs such as Andy Dalton, Matt Stafford, Matt Ryan http://www.minnesotavikingsteamonline.com/irv-smith-jr.-jersey , etc. For obvious reasons, they aren't included on here.So take a look at how the stable of NFL QBs currently stands. Ranked below are 8 QBs on the decline, and 7 on the rise.
