Mickalino Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 With the change of guard this offseason, there will be some important holes to fill. Darrell Green and Stephen Davis are leaving us, so who will take their place as the token Redskin Darlings ? Sam Shade will most likely be gone as well, so who will be the next Whipping Boy ? And you cant say "whoever becomes kicker." These offseason decisions are really heavy, arent they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Terrell seems to have a solid foot in the door as a whipping boy. Champ, if he'll stop returning punts, could takeover the darling role. And Ramsey if he plays even halfway decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Diggler Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 I think Lavar gets a little more credit than he deserves. He is an ESPN highlight reel waiting to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stricknine Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Well, if Smoot keeps getting toasted, hes my whipping boy. Gardener has a damned good shot of being a darling. Especially if he continues to manhandle the entire Cowboy O-line by himself.:notworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennesseeCarl Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 If Smoot repeats the 2002 Campaign, he'll become the whipping boy. Skaggs will be gone, so someone else will have to be 'Rudy Du Jour'. I could see Loverne become whipping boy of the offensive line if he's still out there. McCants could emerge as a favorite. I like the kid and I loved the way he fights for YAC. Gardner seems not to have won fans over. There's a big undecided group on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southtown Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 I think the darlings will be: Ramsey McCants Whoever the receiver is on the practice squad Whipping boys could include: B Smith (if he plays one more year) D Thompson (if he is re-signed) F Smoot (if he gets off to a slow start) Z Flemminster R Wynn Non-Redskins darling will be whatever 'stud' guard we passed on in the draft.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 At least in my mind, no one will ever replace Matt Stevens as my all-time whipping boy. That guy got burnt on every other play and still somehow caught 6 or 7 deflected balls for INTs and was in the right place at the right time for fumbles too. Then, to cap it all off, he goes to New England and wins a SB! I hope we get him back so I can curse him for seasons to come.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dchogs Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 terrell and bsmith as whipping boys champ, lavar, and ramsey (depending on how he does) will be the golden boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CD167 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Hell, I thought Danny Wuerfell was the official Redskin's whipping boy! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK SkinsFan Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Redskins Darling will be Daryl Gardener Whipping boy has to be Zeron Fleminster or David Terrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlanta Skins Fan Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Darlings: Daryl Gardener LaVar, if Lewis leaves McCants Russell Whipping boys: Terrell, if no safety is drafted to replace him Any WR drafted in the 2003 first round Helton (unless two good interior OL players are added) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montilar Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 What, no Ladell Betts in either the darlin' or whipping boy catagory? I thought for sure someone would list him somewhere... If he doesn't come through he should be the whipping boy as that'd mean a 2cd rounder was wasted. I'm thinking he at least becomes competent as Davis' replacement; maybe no 1400 yds. but hopefully he builds on his finish this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gridironmike Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Champ and Lavar are the ..ahem..darlings? I say Tre Johnson too if he stays. Whipping boys...Terrell and Fred Smoot if he doesn't shape up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought for sure someone would list him somewhere... It's just that its still too early. He needs more time to truly solidify himself into one of the 2 categories. I think the unofficial prerequsite for being in one of those categories is to be with the team at least 2 full seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gridironmike Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 I say we make the Tuna our "whipping boy!" Honorable mention to Jerrah, McNabb, and Fassel! Our darlings can be the First Ladies of Football! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBMGreatOne Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Darlings: Ramsey, Betts, Gardner, Gardener, Arrington, Champ Whipping boys: Whoever plays left guard unless it's a draft pick, David Terrell if we don' upgrade FS, and Derrius Thompsn if he doesn't stop fumbling.

PCS Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Hmmmmmmmm tough questions indeed. Darlings eh? MaCants is DQ'd becuase he's already a darling. (I had crushes in High School that were less intense than what a couple of posters have demonstrated for this guy). Champ because he already is. ( this is a promotion from early this season for some, which in turn was a demotion for some from the season before last.........got that? ) New? ramsey...almost automatic. Betts get's a promotion from being a whipping boy this year. Smoot too since the sophmore jinx should be gone. (this disqualifies him as a new whipping boy.... he already has been one). whipping boys? Pretty much what CBMGreatOne said...except it could go for almost all the receivers and the D.C., whoever that may be, because he probabely still won't play enough man.
