Greatest Redskin ever

[Scabs304]

Well ESPN has this poll going on for every team. I was sort of dissapointed that Sean Taylor wasn't the option. Just wondering who do you think the greatest Redskin of all time is?

I voted for Sammy Baugh and just don't think there is any other real pick that youcan make. I wasn't amazed by the homerism pick that was leading on ESPN though.

Sonny Jurgenson, Charley Taylor, Larry Brown, Chris Hanburger, Pat Fischer, Art Monk, John Riggins are all arguable.

Care to add Darrel Green and Sammy Baugh?

[craig01]

Green, Baugh, and Dave Butz.

[mohammed10]

Dave Butz? I hope that you're joking. OTW, add Dexter Manley!

then Charles Mann and Diron Talbert.

The ESPNation picked Darrell Green by over 1/3 which I found to be silly. I believe Sammy Baugh was the easy choice and that DG28 deserves mention, but no way he should be the runaway best redskin ever.

Really, the whole thing is silly anyway.

There are a lot of great Redskins, just not a single greatest!

Agree...perhaps it would better to ask who is the best 'Skin of the '80's, '90's and so on.

Then, you can have a more fruitful debate

To me, it's a tossup between Baugh and Green, with Art Monk rounding out the top 3.

For anyone that needs help remembering some of the older players, here's the list of 70 Greatest Redskin Players:

My only quibble with the names tossed around so far in this thread is that there are no offensive linemen. Say what you will about Riggo, Theismann, Monk, etc... but the key to our three Super Bowl titles was the play of the Hogs.

How about Joe Jacoby? Russ Grimm? Jim Lachey?
