Redskins cards on eBay
 

I was browsing through lots of Skins cards on eBay and came across something really odd.

Apparently Heath Shuler was a chameleon.

Oh man! I might ask him if he'd sell those Shuler and Westbrook cards separately.

Re: Redskins cards on eBay
 

Oooh, I can't wait to get my Gus Frerotte rookie card! ;)

Re: Redskins cards on eBay
 

That's pretty funny Buster

Re: Redskins cards on eBay
 

I'm really trying to figure this out though.

Did we have a *darker-skinned* QB who wore #5?

Is this a sick photoshop joke?

Re: Redskins cards on eBay
 

If only shular and westbrook worked out...

And tom carter.
Our GM sucks :(

Its the lighting. Look at the burgundy stripe ont he sleeve, Its darker in the second photo.

Seriously, Shuler looks a lot like Brunell. Take his name off and put Brunell on there and I don't think I'd know the difference.

Except for the fact he was a giant douchebag and more fragile than Pinkston, Westbrook actually played well when he was actually on the field.

Re: Redskins cards on eBay
 

In '94 (the 75th anniverary patch year), our QBs were Frerotte, Shuler, John Friesz and Brian Mitchell ( :) ).

Re: Redskins cards on eBay
 

I have a few of those cards somewhere. Reggie Brooks was one of the biggest one year wonders I've ever seen. Great rookie year... then nothing. I still scratch my head over that one.

He didn't look fragile when he was beating Stephen Davis during training camp though.

Yeah, he was such a disappointment...I was so excited when we drafted him.

Re: Redskins cards on eBay
 

Yeah, that was a dick move on his part.

Anyone have some info on if he's still cage fighting these days?

Re: Redskins cards on eBay
 

I met Tydus Winans in LA one time and he said Tom Carter was the greatest athlete ever. He also said Carter had a 48 Inch Vertical!

Here's an excerpt from webskins.org concerning Brooks:

"[I][COLOR=blue]However, his fortunes would change when Norv Turner took over for Richie Pettibone. Turner wanted a back that was more consistent with his runs. He was used to Emmitt Smith gaining yards every time he touched the ball. While Smith never really broke the big run he rarely lost yards and was always going forward for a gain. Brooks was a different type of back. He was in the Barry Sander's mold of lose a yard, lose four yards, gain twenty yards. Brooks's yards came in chunks--not small pieces. In a Norv Tur ner offense controlling the ball is a key, and a running back like Brooks wouldn't be effective doing that. But that's not what sealed Brooks's fate. [/COLOR][/I]
[I][COLOR=blue]He made what Turner calls the "big negative play" i.e., the fumble. On several occasions during the '94 season Brooks made the "big negative play" and put his team in very precarious situations. His playing time drastically declined. He was benched in '9 4 for Ricky Ervins, and with the signing of Terry Allen in '95 Brooks's career as a Redskin was all but over. He had played in all sixteen games as a rookie carrying the ball 223 times. Over the next two seasons he would carry the ball only 102 times playing in only one game for the '95 season. He was let go during training camp in '96.[/COLOR][/I]"

I just did some searching on your question, because I was wondering too.

Apparently it was a one-time thing.

[QUOTE]Westbrook fought an MMA match on February 25, 2005 during a King of the Cage event. He submitted Jarrod Bunch with a Rear Naked Choke at 4:55 of the 1st round.[/QUOTE]

Not the most reliable source, but the best I could find. There were plenty of fight announcements online...but all for that same date.

Yeah I do remember that his style of running wasn't what Turner wanted. He was definitely a home run type of runner and they couldn't get him to take the 2-3 yard gains when they were there.

Re: Redskins cards on eBay
 

I actually just went through my card collection recently.

I must have 100 cards of Ricky Ervin, Micheal Westbrook, Shuler and Ferrotte

Pretty depressing really lol.

Re: Redskins cards on eBay

Re: Redskins cards on eBay
 

I might have to check my old cards when I get home tonight. I probably have some pretty good ones from the early 90's.
