What Position Has Seen the Most Talent
Alright I don't start many threads and rarely are they meaningful so I thought I would start this one. Since I am so unorthodox I decided to do this on my 5001st post instead of my 5000th...alright I f'd up.
So here is the question: Over the history of the Washington Redskins which position(s) have enjoyed the most talent and why? I will say the Defensive Backfield because all of the players listed below are part of the 70 greatest redskins. Sammy Baugh Mike Bass Pat Fischer Darrell Green Ken Houston Paul Krause Mark Murphy Brig Owens In addition to these guys we have also seen more recently. Champ Bailey Sean Taylor Deangelo Hall Carlos Rogers Laron Landry Ryan Clark Fred Smoot (before he went to Minn) Dieon Sanders (even though he sucked then). Edit: I forgot Shawn Springs There are others but this post is already too long. Last edited by KLHJ2; 05-23-2010 at 04:10 PM. |

Re: What Position Has Seen the Most Talent
...and don't forget CB's Joe 'the bird' Lavendar and Lemar Parrish were also very good in their prime. I believe they were pro bowl selections back in the day?

Offensive line?
Chris Samuels RandyThomas Derrick Dockery Jon Jansen Russ Grimm Joe Jacoby Mark May Jeff Bostic Jim Lachey Daryl Grant George Starke Raleigh McKenzie Mark Schlereth Turk Edwards Ed Simmons Dick Stanfel Ray Schoenke Trevor Matich Ray Brown Tre Johnson Ethan Albright Terry Hermeling Ed Simmons probably others... Hopefully Trent Williams will be on that list someday.

Re: What Position Has Seen the Most Talent
In terms of sheer talent, WR - imagine lining up these three all-time greats as the two WRs and slot:
Charley Taylor Art Monk Bobby Mitchell What team could field a better top three?

Re: What Position Has Seen the Most Talent
Ok I'll play along. If thinking about throughout the yrs also I'd say position wise maybe OL, or LB. I will say we have been through our fair share of QB not all of them would be called greats though and thinking about it maybe RB.
Larry Brown Riggins Washington Davis Portis Allen Byner Betts Mitchell There were many others probably not called great or even good. One example would be S. Alexander, I think he was a great RB just not with us. I think he was past his prime with us. |

Re: What Position Has Seen the Most Talent
I don't have great perspective to answer this question, but I'd say the Redskins have more quality LBs in their history than it really seems like.
