The all-time "Face" of each NFL Franchise

Recommended Posts

Could we add D. Green to the skins list, I think of #28 when I hear the skins name.

That was my 1st thought as well but a case could be made for Sonny, Riggins, or JKC also (That;s JACK Kent Cooke - not JOHN!)

Here's my list:

NFC East

Washington - Gibbs

Dallas - Landry

N.Y. - LT

Philly - Reggie White

NFC North

Chicago - Butkus

Detroit - Barry Sanders

Green Bay - Lombardi

Minnesota - Tarkenton

NFC South

New Orleans - Archie Manning

Tampa Bay - Derrick Brooks ???

Atlanta - Glanville - kidding - I'd say Vick.

Carolina - Probably Mills, but I'd say it's too early for them to have a "Face"

NFC West

San Fran - Rice

Seattle - Largent

Rams - Eric Dickerson

Arizona - An empty stadium

AFC East

New England - Brady

Miami - Marino

Buffalo - Kelly

N.Y. - Namath

AFC North

Pittsburgh - Bill Cowher's Chin

Ravens - Ray Lewis

Cincy - Chad Johnson

Cleveland - Jim Brown

AFC South

Texans - Too new to have one yet

Colts - Unitas or Manning

Jacksonville - Too new

Oilers/Titans - McNair - MVP, AFC Champ trumps Moon

AFC West

Denver - Elway

Kansas City - Okoye - simply for his Techmo Super Bowl supremacy. I once ran for 3400 yrds and 68tds w. the Nighmare. He had 1200 by wk 2!

Raiders - Al Davis

San Diego - The money powder blue unis - will be Tomlinson before it's all over - for now I'd say Coryell or Fouts

Atlanta- Micheal Vick

Houston- Andre Johnson or Domanick Davis.

Eagles- Randall Cunningham I guess...don't really know their history if they got one at all. It would be Donavon McNabb if he won/wins a Super Bowl.

Cowboys- Defintly Emmit Smith

Jacksonville- Brunell

Bucs are probally Jon Gruden not Derrick Brooks.

Arizona- Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin share this title. Could be Matt Lienart if he pans out.

Redskins: That old guy who dresses like an "indian" and pretends to choke the guy dressed like a Cowboy when we play Dallas.

Falcons: Jeff George yellin' at the coach on the sidelines. Or Deion Sanders

Cowboys: Their cheerleaders. Or Deion Sanders

Panthers: That one guy who played for that one coach that one season. Yeah, him.

Eagles: The moronic bimbo who threw a beer at Portis' mom. Scratch that...the moronic bimbo who threw the beer getting the snot ****slapped out of her afterwards by Portis' mom.

49ers: Joe Montana. Or Deion Sanders.

Bills: Scott Norwood (heh)

Giants: Joe Pisarcik (heh heh)

Cardinals: An empty chair.

New guys here. Love the site already. This is the kind of thread I can sink my teeth in- this is perfect sports bar/road trip type stuff. Looking at some of the responses, I can tell there are some youngins in here :D Here's my list. I know I'm suppose to pick one, but some of your answers are sensible as well. Looking forward to posting and chatting with all of you soon!

NFC East

Washington - Gibbs/ Riggo (tie) Riggo's face after breaking McNeal's tackle is burned in my mind...good times.

Dallas - Landry

N.Y. - LT

Philly - Reggie White

NFC North

Chicago - Ditka

Detroit - Barry Sanders

Green Bay - Lombardi

Minnesota - Tarkenton

NFC South

New Orleans - Archie Manning, soon to be replaced by Reggie Bush

Tampa Bay - Coach McKay

Atlanta - Vick. Before him, I had Billy White Shoes Johnson or Bartkowski on the mind

Carolina - Kerry Collins...sorry, the team's too young, I can still see him throwing bad passes in the uni.

NFC West

San Fran - Montana...arms raised, nuff said

Seattle - Largent

Rams - Eric Dickerson running through the middle of the line, goggles n' all

Arizona - OJ Anderson (from the St. Louis days), maybe Jim Hart. If you're only going by the team since they've been in AZ, then it would probably be Larry Centers

AFC East

New England - Belichick/Brady

Miami - Shula

Buffalo - O.J., sorry, it's the way it is

N.Y. - Namath

AFC North

Pittsburgh - Noll

Ravens - Ray Lewis

One team that everyone has with modern players is Atlanta. they've been around since the late 60's. Everyone has said Vick and Jamal Anderson. One guy said Billy White Shoes Johnson and Bartkowski. But the true face of the Falcons is LB Tommy Nobis. He was a monster in the 60's, but was overshadowed by Butkus, Nitschke and the fact that Atlanta was an expansion team. Nobis gets my vote for Atlanta.

Arizona, O.J. Anderson, Jim Hart, Terry Metcalf, Dan Dierdorf come to mind, but Safety Larry Wilson could be said also.

I remember reading about Nobis, he was a strong LB back in the day. Good call.

I do think of Hanifan, Hart, OJ, EJ Junior, even Roy Green when "Cardinals" are mentioned. I always like to think of Terry Metcalf as a Redskins though :helmet:

I also think of Neil O'Donoghue, their kicker during that time. He killed us with some kicks during those years.

(St.Louis Cardinals: Conrad Dolbler)

Detroit: Barry Sanders' two runs against the Bucs

Green Bay: the goal line plunge to win the Ice Bowl

Minnesota: Alan Page(?) running the wrong way with the ball

NFC South

Atlanta: 2 legit 2 quit

Carolina: for some reason, that tight end they had for a hot second

New Oleans: "Playoffs?"

Tampa Bay: those hideous old uniforms of theirs

NFC West

Arizona Cardinals:

(Los Angeles Rams:the previous Eric Dickerson goggle comment)

San Francisco: Montana to Clark to beat Dallas

Seattle Seahawks: Shawn Alexander

St.Louis Rams: Kurt Warner & Dick Vermeil(sp) celebrate in Atlanta

AFC East

(Baltimore Colts: that old footage end zone splash to beat the giants)

Buffalo: Scott Norwood missing that field goal to beat the gaints

Miami: that idiotic play of that kicker's fumble that led to a Skins touchdown

New England: Madden going out on a limb & openly criticizing Belicheck and Brady for going for the win, before they won, in their 1st super bowl win

New York Jets: Joe Namath wagging his finger

AFC North

Baltimore Ravens: Ray Lewis and his pre-game chant

Cincinnati: Ickey Woods doing the Ickey shuffle

(Cleveland Browns: Jim Brown)

Cleveland: Tim Couch crying

Pittsburgh: Jack Lambert's toothless closeup (the poster shot for football)

AFC South

(Houston Oilers: "the house of pain")

Houston Texans: beating Dallas on ESPN Sunday Night Football

Indianapolis Colts: Dickerson trashing the broncos on Halloween night

Jacksonville: injuries

Tennessee Titans: the Music City Miracle

AFC West

Denver: the drive (& the fumble)

Kansas City: Hank Straham(sp) talking about matriculating the ball down the field

(Los Angeles Raiders: Bo Jackson running wild on the seahawks on MNF)

Oakland Raiders: Madden being hoisted upon his players shoulders

San Diego: Kellen Winslow being carried off the field by his teammates

(Seattle Seahawks: Steve Largent's catch)

Honerable Mentions: Washington-Doug holding up the helmet, Philadelphia-Reggie & Jerome, Chicago-'Brian's Song', Green Bay-Lambau leap!, LA Rams-Deacon Jones & Crazy Legs, B-more Colts-John Mackey, Cincy-Boomer, Cleveland-those fans maiming that ref, Pitt-Cowher's(sp) chin, Houston-Glanville, KC-Derrick, Raiders-that awful MA run, Denver-"This One's for John"

For the Cardinals I say Jim Hart.

Another guy for Atlanta would be Jeff van Note.

Cincy-Anthony Munoz, regarded by many as one of the top 3 lineman ever to play.

Munez would be vote was it not like right after he retired they had like a dozen losing seasons?

Good list....I would only add the following:

Philly- Reggie White

Bears- Hales- No NFL without him

Tampa Bay- LeRoy Selmon (sp?) Only HOF the Bucs have in addition to their overall #1 draft choice back in 1976

Cincy- Anthony Munzo

Oilers/Titians- Has to be Earl Campbell here....the younger generation really needs to see him play....blows away anything McNair or George ever did in that uniform.

Earl Campbell was a horse. Imagine trying to tackle a dude with 38" thighs!
