== Career Arc ==

The 1991 knee injury that ended his season represented the beginning of challenges that would mark his later Eagles years. The recovery demonstrated his determination, but subsequent seasons could not quite recapture the magic of 1990. The Eagles' organizational dysfunction during this period—coaching changes, personnel decisions that failed—prevented the championship runs his abilities deserved.<ref name="didinger"/>

His departure from Philadelphia following the 1995 season ended an era that had transformed Eagles football while falling short of the ultimate goal. His subsequent career, including a remarkable 1998 season with Minnesota that nearly produced a Super Bowl appearance, demonstrated that his abilities remained exceptional even after leaving Philadelphia. The Eagles' failure to reach championships during his prime remains one of the franchise's significant missed opportunities.<ref name="macnow"/>
