Who is the face of the redskins in your opinion?

Joe Gibbs but Jason Campbell is sure moving up the ladder for me.

I will also say Joe Gibbs, and the fact that Jason Campbell is moving up for sure.

I also will have to chime in on the Clinton Portis talks....noone was a bigger supporter of CP than me during his 1st 2 years here....I loved him being our back, but after his injury plagued year in 06, to me he still doesn't look 100%....I know our line is in disarray right now, but he still doesn't hit the holes like he used to, doesn't have the burst he used to....and I'm afraid he's going to be the next Fred Taylor.....a good running back that stays injured off and on enough to keep him from being a really great running back.

As much as I hate to, I have to agree to all of the above. Portis , IMO, WAS the face of our franchise his first 2 years because, really, he was all we had. He definitely doesnt look 100% now. Just like you said, he doesnt hit the holes like he used too. I love CP but, I would rather have him healthy than not and not being the Clinton Portis we all know he is.

I would think that Sean Taylor is the face of our franchise right now. A terrific athlete that comes here with problems and has not only seemed to solve them and calm himself down, but has found a good niche' in our system, hence him being the NFL's INT leader.

Campbell with continue to grow and soon become the face of this team but, as of right now, IMO, its #21.

Sorry, but this is kind of a silly thread. This is a team w/o an identity. Gibbs can't really be the face of the team because he has no personality and he's becoming somewhat of a laughing-stock around the league for the coach who does not have to worry about job security regardless of how utterly awful his team is. That's not really something anyone wants to identify with, let alone be associated with.

Geez dude. You're one unhappy person. Did your mother not hold you enough when you were a kid?

MTRedskinsFan · 10-28-2007, 08:26 PM

Guys, I've been advocating an end to the Gibbs era since I joined the site. He's over and it's gonna be OK in the long run. The players never really got behind Gibbs, especially on the offense where he spends most of his time. I don't have an explanation for it, I'm just describing the picture (I know you guys see it too even if you don't want to admit it).

Long run view, there's sunshine. Saunders is a proven offensive man (and in the last decade too) and when he actually gets to run it like he ran KC there's a real good possibility our offense will take off. Otherwise, there are some solid coaches to be had out there: Cowher, old Marty.

twinskinsfan · 10-28-2007, 09:22 PM

I have to agree with him. Gibbs needs to pass the play calling duties to someone else. Maybe the captain of the Cheer squad, the band director. head custodian, and thats just the start.

I know, such a repetitive subject, but it is on topic every week, so something must change.
