How long have you been a Redskins fan?

I'm actually genuinely curious of what fans thought of Riggins his first few years here, before he helped us get a ring. When he was (at the time) a high-priced free agent, with quirky behavior, questionable practice habits, skipping a year, the team doing ok but nothing all that great. Just wondering what the fan reaction was to Riggo's first five years here

I was pretty young at the time so while I loved Riggo I was a little to young to be as critical of his behavior as I tend to be now with players. Who knows how i would feel about a player like Riggins now...I suspect if he carried the Redskins to the Super Bowl I would tolerate his quirky behavior.

Portis has just always rubbed me the wrong way...I don't think his play has ever backed up the salary and status he has on the Redskins. I don't like the seperate set of rules that seem to apply to him or his perceived close relationship with management. All of it together makes a strong case for him being a team cancer.

See the practice thing is something that seems to have come to light recently as an explanation for why Portis has struggled. The funny thing is we praised Kendall, who skipped virtually every practice that didn't involve shorts, and yet we criticize Portis who's practice habits seem to be at least on par with Kendall's, if not better.

So I guess the question is how do we feel about practice?

Ironically I think Portis is still on some level a team player. To me it seemed like there was no one happier for Betts and Cartwrights success then Portis was during the Bronco's game. I personally think it's time to say goodbye, but I don't think Portis is as big of a distraction as we make him out to be.

really, back then no one cared how much Cooke paid for talent. it was like if we needed a player, we got them. and the team was kind of average, along with Riggins play. there wasn't near the publicity around back then. so you could only gauge fans reaction to the people that you got to interact with.

Yeah, what with message boards and 24-hours news now times have changed.
