Redskins Mt. Rushmore

For some of you that interested in who was responsible for the redskins golden years in the late 80's to early 90's, here's a section of articles on Jack Kent Cooke.

Although the didnt coach the first one on the list has to be The Squire. He built the franchise to lofty heights from which it has since fallen.

JKC
Sonny
Riggo
Gibbs

Who would you put up there?

Here's mine:
Darrell Green
Art Monk
John Riggins
Joe Gibbs

Yeah, no doubt those would be the four that I saw play/coach.

However I would definitely consider Charles Mann (I was such a huge fan of his when I was a kid), and it's hard for me to not think of Sean Taylor, even though he was only with us for such a short time.

Green, Gibbs,... uh.. Portis and Moss?

I wish I could've lived through the years of Monk and Man, Coleman and those guys..

Hard to argue. Actually it isn't. I can't think of anyone even close to those four.

Taylor, Green, Clark, and Cerrato...HAHA

I may be wrong but I thought he still held some of the Redskins records. Wasn't he paired up with Riggo. Riggo being the diesel would run over people hard hitting HB and Brown would be the fast shifty RB?

Like I said we could put alot of people up their but most would be from the SB yrs I would guess. Thiesman was not the greates QB but got the job done. Riggo was a beast at RB. Green is one of the best CB's. Hell I remember him getting the nod to play in his first game and had to run back a kick off or punt. I remember him jumping/hurdling people and taking it to the end zone. Then later they questioned him about the run and he said something like yeah coach's told him don't be hurdling people anymore. Cause I think he broke his ribs on that play. Then came out the next game and played.

Mann, Manley, the smurfs. Those were the days. The end zone high fives.

I guess I'm the only one who would pick Doug Williams. Man made history with the Skins being the first African American QB to win a SB brought the team back in one quarter to win a SB. No big deal. Mosely....one of the only straight on soccer style kickers and one of the last. Those were the days. I hope we get a new generation of SB players to talk about.

I don't think you're thinking of Charlie Brown...maybe Larry Brown?

Charlie Brown was a Pro Bowler...Twice! He only had one 1000 yard season though. Other an that he was pretty average.

Beathard was the best ever and has the SB's (7) to show: KC, Miami, Washington and SD. That's why he should be in the HOF one of these years. JKC (the squire) without a doubt!!
