Ex-Skins Receiver To Return....
 

......okay not really! hahaaha!!!

But my question is, if you could pick ONE ex-Redskins receiver to come back and play for the Redskins, who would you choose?

Its a tough question, but I think I would go with Gary Clark. He was always our "homerun" guy. Art Monk would be a very close second.

Charley Taylor!!

Art Monk is my favorite Redskins of all time. BUT! While he is no where near, and dont take this the wrong way, he is no where near the skill level of Art Monk, D.McCants is the TYPE of reciver that Monk was, so I have to go elsewhere. We need a big home run threat, so Gary Clark would be ideal. I was a huge Ricky Sanders fan when I first started to like the skins too. I used to have the coolest poster when I was a kid of " the Posse " it had Clark, Monk and Sanders all dressed up in western gear over their jerseys. I would seriously give my left pinkie toe to get that thing back, I have no idea where it went.

Really a tough call between Michael Westbrook or Albert Connell. LOL

Desmond Howard.

I would pick Monk, but a close second would be Clark. Now TE would now doubt be Didier.

Anyone from the Posse.

ASOLUTLY! :biggthump

I'd take Monk and junk Gardner

Chris Doering.


What?

Gari Scott from preseason

Derrius Thompson

Maybe I'm the only one here old enough to have seen him in his prime, but Bobby Mitchell was just an outstanding WR. Big,fast. great hands, and ran with the ball after he caught it, Like Charley Taylor, he started his NFL career - and played his collegiate career - as a running back..

SC, how would you rate Mitchell and Taylor vs. guys like Monk and Clark?

Matty:

I think Mitchell was the best of the four. Taylor and Monk and Clark are all excellent WRs and it is hard for me to separate them.

If you force me to do that, I'd take Monk then Taylor and then Clark. But remember, the differences between these three is VERY small.

IMHO...

2 words: Ricky Sanders!

Looking back on it one guy I sort of wish we kept and who is still playing in the NFL today is Keenan McCardell

Gary Clark he's a alsome player he chould go over the middel and catch the ball and get hit and do it again!

It would be a close call for me between Monk and Henry Ellard.
Monk is one of my favorite all-time players, and he could always be counted on to make the clutch catch on 3rd down and keep the chains moving-- something that has been sorely lacking in the Redskins offense.

Ellard is another one of my faves, and he's also another receiver who spent his career moving the chains. Working with the fabulous trio of John Friesz, Heath Shuler and Gus Frerotte, he was able to post three consecutive 50+ reception, 1000+ yard seasons for the Redskins from '94 through '96...

Plus, I'd love to see another one of those post-touchdown backflips he was famous for.

I just wish one of these guys would come back and show the current bunch of stonehanded receivers how to catch.

ellard were a pimp!!!!

alvin harper.

Monk wouldn't just bring good hands, he'd bring back what it means to be a redskin...and no one forget about downtown Charlie Brown...he was pretty good

Andre Reed

Ellard ran the tightest routes I've ever seen. Even though we had him on the downside of his career he was still a lot of fun to watch.

He wasn't an Ex-Redskin???

I must say I was surprised to hear Henry Ellard's name, but you guys are right, even on the downside of his career, Ellard was a good acquisition for us. Just like Gibbs wanting to have a "veteran" QB to help with the younger QBs on the team, I think it's just as important to have a veteran receiver out there to act as a mentor for the younger receivers or the receivers that are going through slumps.

Andre Reed finished his career with the Skins in 2000. Didn't do anything impressive. But he did have a solid career and he is technically an ex-Redskin

But, I wouldn't take him above Monk, Ellard, Taylor, among others.

Wow I guess he did, I honestly must have blocked him out! I remembered Friar playing for us for a couple seasons I think, and Alvin Harper (which didn't impress me at all), and of course Henry Ellard. I guess he had gotten lost in with all the big time names we aqcuired like Dion Sanders, Bruce Smith, and Jeff George.

Has to be Gary Clark for me. He was superb for a short ass.
