blackice7x Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I got to meet Mr. Green when he was up at a training camp right outside my town. He was a very nice person and he lead the team. Although I did not get his autograph he was very polite and he has lots of talent. I have not met Moss but if I had the chance I would take it. These players are both great play makers...but which do you like more? Moss or Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackice7x Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 I think I like Green more. I like watching defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teller Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Twenty years. Three Lombardi trophies. The tipped pass in the end zone to beat the Vikings. The punt return against the Bears. The true love of the community and the Redskins. And a shutdown corner in every possible sense of the word. Darrell Green, hands down. Don't get me wrong, I love Santana. It's a special thing to have a true game breaking receiver. We haven't had that for a long time. But he's got a long way to go to make the contribution to this team that Darrell Green has. Ask me in 20 years though, I might have a different opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSkins Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 :sucks: How can you even mention Moss with DG in the same sentence after only 6 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.A.M.F. Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Hard to compare, Moss hasn't even been here a full year yet. Green was the definition of a Redskin for... 20(?)years. After Moss' career as a skin is over (lets hope a long time from now) then this question will be answerable. If forced to answer now, it would have to be Green.

blackice7x Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 Good point. But its easy to see that Moss is going to be a big player for the Redskins. If he sticks with the Skins for multiple seasons it is likely that he will have break many records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinzRool Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Darrell Green is a Washington Redskins LEGEND. I realize that you are too young to realize how great of a player, person, and part of the community he was, but you simply cannot compare the two. Moss has been great in the 6 games he's played so far. :applause: Darrell Green was great for 20 years! :allhail: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teller Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I just did the age/post count check. blackice7x, don't take it the wrong way that most of us 30+ year olds are picking Green. We saw the first round of glory days, you didn't. Thanks for being a fan and sticking with your team, even though we've sucked most of your lifetime. I know you're excited seeing the Redskins turn the corner. So are we. But just ask some of the older guys, you haven't seen anything yet my friend. Enjoy the ride!

Dalecitymike Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Darrell Green did a lot for the District of Columbia community, and still does every year. He was a shutdown cornerback that qbs wouldn't throw in his direction which hindered his stats a bit. It's hard to compare a CB to WR in the first place, and no disrespect but this is a dumb thread. I love Santana Moss he is the best WR we've had in decade! We haven't had a WR in the top 5 rankings in mid season in over 10 years, ( I think, but not positive on that statement). I would pick DG, because of how classy he is and his talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsfanxxvi Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 too early to tell, but Green is the type of guy any father would want their son to be. Let alone the fact that he was the best corner in THE HISTORY OF THE GAME!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor ToughLove Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Who do Redskin fans like more...Santana Moss or Darrell Green??? How about about Casey Rabach or Jeff Bostic??? How about Chris Cooley or Don Warren??? How about Chris Samuels or Joe Jacoby??? I smell alcohol in this post. Ignore this post and let it go away.

hoskins Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Are you kidding? I love Santana but I wouldn't put him in the same sentence as Gary Clark yet, LET ALONE DG. No doubt Santana has potential to be a great Redskin. Maybe even a ring of fame Redskin some day, check back in 10 years. But no way you can compare him after 6 games to all the great things DG has done on and off the field. No way. The only current Redskin I would compare to Darrell Green would be Coach Gibbs himself.

aejm1400 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Green. Is there any other way to answer this unless Moss is a great Skins player for many years to come, which is why I agree with the ask me in 20 years option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any other way to answer this unless Moss is a great Skins player for many years to come, which is why I agree with the ask me in 20 years option. Unfortunately, the days of a player being wit hthe same team for 20 years are past. Sadly, Santana will not retire a Redskin :mad: . Nobody will ever be like Darrell Green. So truthfully you cannot compare the 2. Here is to hoping that Santana Moss will be one of the tp Redskins to ever play in the B & G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 yeh, i agree with the majority here, why did you pose this question? I was glad to hear you had a greet meeting with Green, but how can you ask if we like Moss more? Green was the face of our organization, and played well even at his age, I felt confident knowing he was back there. Now 7 years down the road if Moss has an illustrious career, he'll be one of my favorites as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panel Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 20 years VS. 6 games, hmmmm. It will be almost immposible for Moss to come close to green, and a long time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifelong Skins Fan Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Oh my. I think Champ Bailey characterized Darrell best when he said, " When he started his first game as a redskin I was three. And he is still over there doin it" Over the last couple of years there has been talk of Darrell joining the coaching staff or front office. Is that still kickin around? If a young DB could not listen and learn from Darrell he should be summarily dismissed. :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy Not to slam anyone here currently. I anxiously await our next player with Darrell's character. I would say Jon Jansen is a better comparison right now than Moss or anyone else who comes to mind.

He's a youngin' -- He was only 12 when Darrell retired, and not even born when he started his career!!! blackice -- just so you know, asking that question around here is like asking if anyone wants some Ben & Jerry's at a fat farm (only one answer).
