Who is the face of the redskins in your opinion?

redskinz79 · 10-27-2007, 08:48 PM

This season has been pretty wild so far. Our defense is top notch, yet our offense seems to sputter weekly. We're 4-2 so no complaints right? Who do you think has contributed the most to our team. And also, who would pick to be the face of the Redskins this season so far?

STBonecrusher21 · 10-27-2007, 09:03 PM

A poll would work with your thread. I would probably still say Coach Joe.

Skinsfan1967 · 10-27-2007, 09:20 PM

Coach Gibbs without a doubt.

GridIron26 · 10-27-2007, 09:47 PM

I agree with those two, Coach Gibbs without any doubts.. But if you want a player, I probably would have to say Sean Taylor right now because he is the most true player.. However JC is on pace becoming face of Redskins..

Paintrain · 10-27-2007, 09:48 PM

Campbell is becoming the face of the Redskins, but for today it's still Joe Gibbs

EternalEnigma21 · 10-27-2007, 09:58 PM

portis is the face of the skins, even if he hasnt had a hundred yard game and stellar stats... he's the most physical buy on the team and he plays his ass off when he's in the game.

Campbell is coming into his own, and if he continues his progressions, I think he'll be the guy, but he's not quite there yet...

Clinton Portis will never ever be the face of any franchise let alone ours. He is a great player, but he is a mercenary. He has no loyalty to anyone but himself and he will be the first to tell you that. Football is a business to Portis in many ways and he has every right to see it that way. Gibbs is the face of the franchise and if Campbell can take his place we are going to be very happy for sure.

Actually Portis is a team player. If you listen to his interviews he's always talking about the team as a whole. Even when asked questions about his carries and the running game and sharing the ball with Betts, he talks about the running game as a committee and welcomes the 2-back system. He's a very vocal leader. I admit though, he does have a bit of an ego and probably more arrogant then what a true redskins player should be, but we're in a league of premadonnas and he does give this team some character ^^ But I don't think he's selfish at all, he just wants to win.

As for the face of the franchise, it is Joe Gibbs easy.

As for Portis. You can make the case that he is a mercenary, but then again you can say the same thing about almost every other player in the NFL. They all want to win or they wouldn't compete, but they go to the highest bidder.

jsarno · 10-27-2007, 11:52 PM

I guess Gibbs would be the best answer, however, I don't think we have a face, or at this point, an identity.

Never said he wasn't a team player. He is absolutely.

EternalEnigma21 · 10-28-2007, 12:41 AM

most people tend to think that someone who "is a mercenary and has no loyalties to anyone but themselves" arent the best team players...

I think he's a great team guy who has given this team everything he had to give for the last several years...

He's never publicly bashed this team for throwing his HOF career off track, and has done everything we've asked him to do and more, including playing hurt and being one of the best (if not the best) blocking running backs in the league..

actually the more i think about it the more absurd your statement sounds... there are alot of backs that play much more conservatively (blocking, tackling, not running out of bounds) to preserve their careers over the interests of their teams winning football games... Hes the antitheses of everything you describe, AND, if you ask coach gibbs and he were to give you an honest opinion he'd probably tell you that clinton is the face of the skins and he wouldn't want it any other way...

Ijaeger · 10-28-2007, 01:38 AM

Dan Snyder.....j/k, Gibbs 100%

GTripp0012 · 10-28-2007, 01:54 AM

Undoubtably Gibbs, and if thats his only role on his team at this point, he's still doing a damn good job.

skinsguy · 10-28-2007, 02:35 AM

Joe Gibbs. No matter the outcome of this tenure, he will always be the face of this team.
