Ohh, first vote.
Sammy Baugh. Could have made a case for Monk and Taylor, but in the end, I went with the best passer in Redskins history.

I also went with Riggins #44.
His character & attitude was the deciding factor for me.

Despite how much i like Riggins and Monk, I just don't think they compare to Sammy Baugh, in fact, I would put Baugh up there as one fo the best ever in the NFL.

Wow, Sonny didn't even make the candidates list. This is a very tough vote. My final 3 came down to Lachey, Baugh and Riggo. I came in toward the very tail end of Baugh's career and I don't feel as qualified to evaluate him as the other two. Lachey was the best Redskins offensive lineman I ever saw, but there is just something about Riggo. He was perfect for the power running game. And the thing I liked best about him is that he never fumbled. In his entire Redskins career (what, maybe around 2000 carries), he put the ball on the ground TWICE! I believe I am right about this, since I think I saw every game Riggo ever played for Washington. Tiki Barber would be lucky not to fumble twice in one game.

58 fumbles in just over 2900 career carries...not quite as good as 2, but still VERY impressive. |

One only need to look at my Avatar to know who got my vote. How the Franchise leader in TD's can only get one vote (MINE) is beyond me.
With all due respect to Slingin Sammy, I find it impossible to vote for a player from an era when the average Defensive Tackle was 5'11 and weighed 190 pounds and probably ran a 6.2 40 (Unsubstantiated speculation as they didn't time people in the 40 back then). Slinging Sammy was great, there is no doubt about it, but I cannot in good conscience vote for a player from the era of Leather Helmets and Cardboard Shoulder Pads as the greatest Redskins player. If I could divide my vote between Pre-Superbowl Era and Modern Era, then Sammy would definately get the nod on pre-superbowl era, but alas, I cannot and so Charley Taylor gets my vote.
All-time Franchise leader in Touchdowns. All I ask is that you give that particular fact some consideration before logging your votes......

I voted for Sammy Baugh, although I believe Bobby Mitchell was the best ever offensive player.
