Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

Mine is probably John Riggins. Glad we don't have to play him tomorrow!!!

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

That's a tough question. I would answer lots of them, but the guy I admire the most is Art Monk. By the way you guys had a pretty classy and one of my favorites in Steve Largent, Jim Zorn was cool too.

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

A toss up between art monk and doug williams.....but lean towards ART

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

Art Monk was the first reciever to surpass Largent's career NFL receptions record. Now a lot of guys have done it, but Monk should be in the HoF if you ask me.

Should have been a first time ballot. Wasn't Largent a first time ballot?

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

Ryp was my favorite because he had arguably the least amount of talent of any Super Bowl winning QB and chose to walk away to be with his terminal son.

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

Tough question, naturally. I have to go with an easy one: Darrell Green. A couple of real close second place guys are Art Monk, Monte Coleman, and Charles Mann.

That should be all time favorite PUSS along with Teri Glenn.

Gus Frerotte.

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

Darrell Green. Hands down. No Question.

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

John Riggins

For me, the run against the Dolphins is the greatest Redskins moment in my lifetime.

There are many others right there.

Sonny, Larry Brown, Charley Taylor, Darrell Green, Monte Coleman, Art Monk, Gary Clark, Russ Grimm, Pete Wysocki to name a few.

An old timer I like it, plus your name is awesome. I remember good old speedy, great returner!!

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

I was thinking of this just today. It is Sean Taylor. I saw Riggon, Green, Theisman, all the Hogs, Joe Washington...you name it....well, not Sammy Baugh. But definitely Taylor.

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

Probably Earnest Byner, slightly over Joe Washington and Shawn Springs

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

All-Time well since I've only been a Redskin fan since 2004 I have to say it was Sean Taylor.

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

And I assume we're talking about just players. Because if not then it's unequivocally Joe Gibbs

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

Sean Taylor. I wasn't coherent enough in the 80's/early 90's to really appreciate the Redskins for how great they were back then. I pretty much have only seriously started following since 2000 and since then, it's been all Sean. Followed by Chris Cooley. The guy has true Redskin tattooed all over him.

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

Riggo is my favorite all-time. Seeing Jacoby and Grimm pull for him on counter trey was a sight to behold. 70-Chip is my most joyous moment as a sports fan. Others on my list would include Monk, Green, Clark, Mann, and Jacoby from the Gibbs years of glory.

Without question, Sean Taylor was my favorite player during Gibbs 2.0. Watching him this season, I thought we were witnessing the evolution of a player who someday would be called the greatest safety ever.

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

You can't go wrong with Darrell Green.

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

tough question. i have too many to name just one. from joe gibbs, art monk, charlie brown, joe washington, john riggins, darryl green. to santana moss, sean taylor, clinton portis, chris cooly. even champ bailey and lavar arrington was on my list at one time.

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

[QUOTE=ncskinsfanec;401706]You can't go wrong with Darrell Green.[/QUOTE]

Agreed!

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

Sean Taylor, Darrell Green, and Ken Harvey.

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

The greatest cornerback in nfl history is my favorite redskin.


Too bad Ade Jimoh is no longer with the team.


My favorite player is either Darrell Green or Ricky Sanders.

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

Mark Robert Rypien and Darrell Green.

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

John Riggins, Darrell Green, and Dave Butz( had the same number when I played high school ball)

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

John Riggins, Art Monk, Darrell Green

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

Oh Man this list could long.
When I was five or six years old it was either Chris Hanburger or Larry Brown.
In my teenage years it was without doubt John Riggins.
In my twenties it was Art Monk.
My thirties it was Darrell Green.
My favorite current player is Clinton Portis.

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

Reggie Branch, but only because I see him a couple of times a month, and he let me hold his Super Bowl ring after he lost a bet with an Eagles fan a few years ago and had to wear a TO jersey.

It weighed more than my shoe.

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

Shane Matthews, Danny Wuerffel

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

Billy Kilmer was the first Redskin name I learned when I first became a fan. So he will always be up there. After that the list is long... Riggins, Mark Mosley, Dexter Manley, all of the Posse, Gerald Riggs, Cooley, Portis...

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

mosley, butz Riggo and Green

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

I can't really choose one. Art Monk, Dave Butz, and Riggo are definitely among the best. Sean Taylor, however, was simply amazing to watch. He made plays on the ball AND would deliver knock-out hits. He made me smile so many times and yell "oooooooooohhhh," that he's definitely on the list, if not at the very top of it.

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

remember how Dave Butz use to have his kid carry his helmet off the field? that was cool.

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

Darrell Green is a punk ass bitch. I love nostalgia, but he doesn't deserve all the praise he gets. Yeah, he's fast, yeah he caught Tony Dorsett, and he was a great football player. I was at a private car show in Manassas and saw him walking around with one of his boys. I walked up to him, and said..."Mr. Green, can you sign my hat?" and he said..."No Son, I don't do autographs." So, I said "ok, thanks anyway." Shook his hand, and started to walk away. Then this mentally and physically challenged boy carted up to him in his motorized wheel chair, and the boys Mother asked him, and he said "No, I don't want to be seen, and I don't do autographs."


Point is, is that he is fake as hell, and this youth charity he takes on is probably because of his guilt for so many times he did shit like that. I promise this story is true, and will swear on the bible. Not many people know him like that, so I just thought I'd like to say that because I'm just really tired of people being on his nuts.


Now, my favorite Redskin? I've been watching since 91, and I'd have to say Kurt Gouveia. He was a nasty linebacker. Reminded me of the old Steeler D. Close second would be Dex. Dex has more emotion than I think any of the old Redskins had, with exception to Donnie Warren. I also met him at a car show oddly enough. It was at the MCI center if I'm not mistaken. After a brief convo with Warren, he looks like he hates life for not playing for Gibbs anymore. I like those guys.

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

mine is cris samuels
too bad seattle wont have any penetrations this afternoon

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

For me it's Art Monk, hands down, not even close. Charles Mann is second, and then my third team consists of a bunch of guys: Doug Williams, Darrell Green, Wilber Marshall, Ken Harvey, Monte Coleman and Kurt Gouveia (anyone else remember the announcers always used to say it "Goo-vee-aay"?).

Though I admired Doug so much for that win in Denver, I always really preferred Stan Humphries to Ryp. I really rooted for him in that Super Bowl when he got the chance.

I've made mention several times of my less than stellar encounters with DG off the field, still I can't deny his impact on the field and what he meant to the success of this franchise. You take someone like Dana Stubblefield for example who as a person was always great to me and probably one of my favorite people to deal with, but as a player I can't consider him a favorite because really what did he do for the team on the field?

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

Joe Gibbs.

Re: Who is your all-time favorite Redskin?
 

Also, to counter the DG story, I will say that I met a lot of current and former guys from the late 80's / mid-90's Redskins at a charity signing event at the Elks Lodge in Frederick MD when I was a teenager. Russ was there, Joe was there, I think Monte Coleman was as well, Tre Johnson and Jumpy Geathers, that whole crew, but none of the "superstar" marquee guys Art, Darrell, etc.

One very vivid memory I have about the event was that they were there to do a charity raffle for a sick child, but they also had agreed to do some autograph signings (for free). At some point, very early in the event, a lot of really snotty kids started sort of ignoring the auction part and started trying to get the players to sign STACKS of papers, cards, etc. It was the first time I realized, "hey, people are trying to take advantage of this, this is kind of fucked up". A lot of the older guys from the Elks lodge who had organized it were kind of stunned as the kids mobbed the players and you could tell they had lost control of the event.

Joe Jacoby stood up and just BOOMED out a loud "HEY!" and everybody in that room just froze. He then very calmly but sternly admonished the kids, reminding them what they were there for, a sick kid who they were trying to raise money for, and told them to sit down and ONLY after that auction would they sign autographs, and they weren't going to be signing stacks of index cards and merchandise, that people had better be considerate of their fellow fans.

The whole event went off without a hitch after that, it was pretty amazing. I think that was probably the time I realized how important "The Hogs" really were, and what kind of leadership qualities all those guys had.
