Best player on team?

[“Misdirection”]

my vote goes to samuels, he gets the run game goin and he makes sure nobody hits campell, w/o him we would have a considerably slower offense than usual

[jsmith2003]

Portis, when healthy. Moss would be a close second for me.

Exactly, Portis when healthy (most of time) is a game changer just being in there. Defenses HAVE to prepare/game plan around him, that means more close play at LOS, and that opens up Moss and Company (cooley/el/Lloy etc) If you gameplan to cover our receivers CP will crush you, and let's face it, when he rushes for 100+ we are 15-2, I'll take that.... CP baby!! Let's not forget even without him rushing, he can protect campbell something we NEED to have, and allow for those deep bombs to El and Moss

HAIL

Sorry for forgetting you Cooley. I should have looked at the roster when making the list. Figuired I forget somebody thats why I put other on there. Looks like Cooley and Betts are getting votes.

[SkinsFan48]

Thats funny...I like Landry and all but the guy has not even played an NFL game yet...How could he be a close number 2.......LOL

At present, I would have to say its Sean Taylor and Landry a close second.

[SkinsFTW]

Springs was the best player but he can't stay healthy.

Portis was the best for most of 05.

I'd say the guy you can count on being consistently better than anybody else on the team is Samuels. Nobody else is even close yet but maybe Landry can be eventually.

But it depends on what kind of player you are talking about too.

Smoot has proven to be quite the player. He did set up the Love boat thing and he talks all kinds of **** so you know he's a big time player. :D:D

[909997]

portis is our mvp

[Thoth]

I hate to parse language, but what do you mean by best?

I'm going to negate importance of position, and just think of positions, and what players on other teams immediately come to mind as better.

CP, sorry, two or three other backs who are healthier come to mind.

Samuels is a very good tackle, not a great one.

Moss, injuries again, great player, but there are at least 3 or 4 other recievers I'd take.

You can do this same exercise everywhere on D or O.

Cooley, surprisingly, is pretty high, for me, as most of the really great TEs are older.

But he isn't my choice.

In my book, it is between S. Taylor, and L. Landry.

I think there may be safeties slightly better, but not by much, and I think Taylor will continue to improve.

Honestly, though, I love Landry. 22, already seems to have the maturity (none of Taylor's antics early in career) of a veteran, the poise and intelligence of one, takes the big hit only when there (a shortcoming of Taylor), makes the tackle rest of time.

I can't decide, but since L. Landry has no full season, I'd go Taylor.

[CaliSkinzFan]

i'm gonna say portis is

[Sticksboi05]

True, but if we're on defense, I want Taylor on that field. Monday Night Miracle, Santana's catches rocked, but if Taylor doesn't get that hit on Crayton, we still lose.

If Taylor doesn't recover that fumble in Philly, we may not have made the playoffs.

If Taylor doesn't get that fumble in Tampa, we don't win that game.

If Taylor doesn't get that that return against Dalls, we don't win that game.

Moss is a 9, but Taylor is a 10.

Very true but you don't got nothin' on this.

Wow, 2 pages and a list of players....and not 1 mention, not 1 word of:

CHRIS COOLEY. The dude is the most consistant weapon on the team. He gives it 100% every single game, harldy ever makes a bad play (i know he had a drop or 2 as some of you are quck to point out), blocks well, and converts little plays into huge gains.

People like to say ST because he changes games or makes game winning plays. So does cooley.

He bails out our QB more than anyone and is a model citizen.

Seriously, pay the man his money.

I'm gonna have to agree with Skins24 here. The man is CLUTCH!

[Guest RideorDieChic]

Taylor and Portis are both impact players

Cooley and Moss are work horses...

*drum roll*

my vote goes to : Sean Taylor [hands down]

p.s. is funny you forgot Cooley yet have players who haven't played a down with the team i.e Landry and others. Cooley ought to be a tad up in harms with your short memory. *smile*

[Bang]

In my opinion, I think our best player is Randy Thomas.

He's a monster, and he gets overlooked. The guy is one of the best guards in the NFL. His pass blocking is excellent, and his run blocking is best on the line. He pulls WAY out in front,, very athletic, very MEAN and very strong.

Defense

#1 Fletcher

#2 Laundry - I know he hasn't played a reg season game yet but I have a really good feeling about this kid. 3 games in, the whole league will be talking about him. Your are going to hear his name more the Taylor in part because he is the SS.

Offense

#1 Moss

#2 I can clump almost the rest of the offense after that. I'm hoping Campbell is #2. Cooley is up there but so is Portis, Betts, Randel, Etc.

Players I think would do amazing things if given some touches.

Rock and Sellers. I would really love to see Sellers get a series a games this year. If he gets a first down. Run him a few more times. 3-4 rushes in a row, 1-2 first downs, the stadium would be going nuts.

This is the best roster we have had since Gibbs returned. It's really nice what we have grown into. This feels like a Gibbs roster.

It may have taken them longer then any of us would have liked, but I think this front office finally pulled it off and Gibbs ran a great camp and offseason.

[Longbomb]

I was going to go with Landry as well. However we need to see him in a real game. Lots of people are picking him for the Def. Rookie of the year. If he's that good I'd say have an awesome year and be the Defensive player of the year. I hope he's half as good as people are touting him to be:applause: ST is going to have a monster year flying around and not so much delivering blows but getting pics. Think about it...Shawn Springs healthy, Carlos Rogers. The possibilities are endless. But that's from a HOMER:D

[hands11]

Almost a perfect bell curve.

Landry 15 6.61%

Moss 38 16.74%

Taylor 74 32.60%

Portis 46 20.26%

Samuels 25 11.01%

[Hail Gibbs]

When did Orlando Pace retire?

Whoops I meant willie roaf. My mistake.

[RenegadeTK]

my favorite player is taylor, and i think he has the most potential

but best as of today.... i gotta go with santana moss

[Taylor 21]

Ethan Albright. No question.

:laugh::laugh:

Sean Taylor. Definitely. But Landry and Fletcher arnt far behind.

[MumboSauce]

I think Portis is the biggest difference maker. Then Samuels and Moss. Taylor next, not quite there yet but a dynamic player and should be even better this year. Before long I hope it's Campbell and Landry.

[dizzinator53]

The tarantula and then Santana

[Touchdown Redskins]

Sean Taylor without a doubt. Not to butt heads with people, but he's won the Eagles game (2nd game, '05), the Tampa Bay game (playoffs, '05), and the Dallas game (2nd game, '06) with many fewer touches than CP.

[terpfan]

1. Samuels

2. Taylor

3. Moss

4. Portis

5. Fletcher

6. Thomas

7. Cooley

8. Washington (when healthy!)

9. Griffin (ditto above)

10. Springs (ditto above)

[Petey_Crack]

Portis when healthy is the glue that holds our team together and a close second is ST, no doubt (Cooley 3rd)

[Petey_Crack]

Defense

#2 Laundry

Yeah dude, our dirty jock-straps definatly are the backbone of the D

[Rodriggo]

Wow. I can't believe Santana Moss isn't running away with this thing. I mean this guy has been nothing but amazing since he got here. The first reciever since the Posse to actually merit comparision to members of the Posse. The guy hustles and he makes big plays. 14-13, The Jax game last year, The Seattle game in 05, the game at KC in 05, the guy is big time. All the while he's catching passes from Mark "I was washed up three years ago" Brunell. Without a doubt the best player on this team.
