HoyaSkins28 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 A while ago I posted who I thought was the greatest QB in Skins history (Jurgensen #9). Now I'm asking whose the best Running Back? This is a tough one. I would say John Riggins but of course CP and Stephen Davis aren't far behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish50 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 John Riggins. You just couldn't stop him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket442Olds Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Clinton Portis is good, but hes still too young to put in that Category. If he stays healthy and has some more good seasons then he might be up there with #44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoEd Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 WTF? John Riggins is one of the best to ever play the game, let alone Washington. This is a no brainer roll on diesel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuckDallas81 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 definately Riggo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F Landry Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Alright, I am just a young-buck, and never saw Riggo play... But if he is so much better than CP, why does he not hold the Redskins rushing record... It does help that Riggo played behind one of THE best O-Lines EVER... :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does help that Riggo played behind one of THE best O-Lines EVER... :2cents: Riggins does own the career record, just not the single season any longer. Also keep in mind Riggins played with a few other decent backs too, Joe Washington and George Rogers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portis&taylor Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 never saw riggo play but i think players now are much faster than in the past making it a little tougher so i say CP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptimeskins-11 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Jamie Morris anyone? Just kidding. Riggens, S. Davis, Larry Brown. But if Portis stays heathly I say in 5 years not only will he be one of the greatest Redskins of all time, But one of the greatest running backs of all time.

EnFoRcEr_uPu Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 If he continues the way is, Portis will be. Right now it probably is still Riggo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazhog Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 :coach: You have to put Larry Brown on any List of Great Redskins Running Backs Yes, you do!!!

ZoEd Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 during Riggo's day 1500yds was unthinkable. CP is one bad MFer too, but different styles. It's like watching a middle weight fight compared to watching a heavy weight fight. They're both exciting but two totally differnt fights. Riggo would just demoralize a defense. Run after run after run after run........... Until you were so tired of trying to bring him down you just wanted to quit. On a side note, I will say that little Joe Washington didn't get the credit he deserved. Our side of the 50, give it to Joe. Once we got inside the 40 Big John all the way. It was beautiful thing to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeZee Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Riggins all day!! Then after that I'll go with Byner or Davis. You guys remember Terry Allen and George Rogers?? I liked both backs but I wouldn't give them a best ever title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graniteFallsNCskins Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 mike thomas is another good back,but brown and riggo were the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had the greatest skins season ever last year, and The last I heard the Dirtbags(what a gay name) weren't the Hogs. If CP can string together a couple more good seasons he will blow Riggins out of the water. Right now he is a potential HOF with those numbers, 4 straight 1300 seasons, Did 44 do that? That was a little harsh, but i felt like blowing some steam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
