Sean Taylor was and still is for me personally.

I think it is for a lot of people. I dont think a "face of the franchise" is really for the Redskins fans... its more for everyone else. I've had a lot of conversations with people about how big of a Redskins fan I am and a good handful (who really are barley even football fans) brought up Sean Taylor, so because of the attention that incidnet received, I think that could be a good case.

My opinion right now is Cooley, but I could see it being Haynesworth pretty quickly.

I say we make Doughty the face of the franchise. No one will care. Then we can continue to fly under the radar.

Well its definitely still Portis but Cooley and Campbell are definitely up there. Haynesworth could also take a big spot if he is a beast. And of course Sean Taylor will be up there for awhile.

By mid-season I say Campbell. For now it's Portis.

Now: CP
Future: Edgar Allan Orakpo

If you click info on your TV during a Primetime game during the season. It will say "Clinton Portis and the Washington Redskins battle (other teams star player) and the (other team)

Portis by default. As of now he the one on our team that can be relied on for putting asses in the seat.

Personally I think it has switched from Portis to Cooley.

Am I just senile or am I the first person on this thread to put in a vote for Albert Haynesworth? I mean the thread title is Annointing a new face of the franchise. Who better for that role then our $100 million man.

The only problem with Big Al is he's not media friendly. He's a great player, but he won't talk to the media and he doesn't do anything stupid to get on TV. Great for the team, but he doesn't become famous.

You got a point there. Though if he has a big season he'll probably be elevated to Reggie White status. As far as the media goes I think Chris Cooley is easily the face of this team. CP was for a while but the one thats really putting himself out there at this point is Chris. Hell at one point I think Jansen was the face of our team especially when he was in the studio for ESPN on draft day (guys going to be an awesome TV personallity).

Also it seems that Chill Will was the first one to put out a vote for Haynesworth so I guess that makes me senile.

If you're basing it on being media friendly then I'm choosing D. Hall assuming he has a good season this year and makes the Pro Bowl.

i gotta disagree here, the other guys listed as "faces of franchises" dont do stupid things to get on tv, they dominate on the field a la brady, manning, urlacher etc.

Yeah, I think I meant to say they put themselves out in the media. AH doesn't put himself out there. He doesn't do commercials, he doesn't talk to the media or seem real friendly to the media. He could be a guy like Urlacher if he continues to play at this level, but even Urlacher did that dumb badminton thing and other commercials. He doesn't have a famous personality, like he wants attention. Tom Brady is popular because of his looks. Manning does a ton of commercials. There's nothing that unique about AH other than his play. Peyton does do some dumb stuff on TV ...
