RFKFedEx Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 IMO, Taylor was not significant enough to warrant a statue for his namesake at FedEx Field. Statues are for the greatest of the great, HOF's and cultural icons, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InsaneBoost Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Then how do you explain Rocky having a statue of himself in Philly? He was a fictional character... not even real... Thats because they have to make up for their 0 superbowl trophies in one way or another, simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 :doh: Manley had a far far far greater impact in Washington than Sean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morneblade Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Thats because they have to make up for their 0 superbowl trophies in one way or another, simple. I busted out laughing on that one! Ouch, that's gotta hurt in Philly!:laugh: Still, maybe not a statue, but they could do something to honor Sean. He was the best at his postion in the league, and he was still so young, the sky was the limit for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSunday Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I love the idea of a statue. He was a great player, though I do understand that there a great many other Redskins that had a greater impact on the team over the years. However, Sean Taylor's death is still the greatest tragedy to ever to happen to the Redskins family. The way in which he died as well as his on field prowess together is enough in my mind to justify a statue of him. This is what I mean,people can not seperate fantasy from reality.Good football player yes,THUG.....yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Laurie parades around w/their two Halace trophies the way Danny does w/our Lombardis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redman Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Yeah, I'm all for it, but only if it's an equestrian statue with two hooves raised, and Taylor is depicted on it decked out in his full football uniform, with a helmet, cape and sword. Seriously folks, let it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjbrown Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I can understand the sentiment about having a statue to honor Sean. I have cried many times over his tragic death. But I do not think a statue would be appropriate. I think a statue should be reserved for someone who has done the most for an organization over many years. Sean Taylor was an awesome player and may have very well ended up in the Hall Of Fame...unfortunately, we will never know how great he might have been.The team has done an outstanding job in handling an unprecedented event...but let's be honest...there are dozens of players that have had a much larger impact over several years with this team that argualbly deserve a statue due to their "on-field" accomplishments...Sammy Baugh, Joey T. Riggo, The Posse, The Hogs, Mosely, Manley, Mann, Billy, Sonny, George Allen, Gibbs, Jack Kent Cooke, etc. The Ring Of Honor is appropriate. My same thoughts. As much as I miss and appreciate his body of work. A statue should be reserved for someone who entire body of contribution to the team/organization far exceeds all others. Joe Gibbs or an owner or a combined Green, Monk, Jacoby, Gibbs, G. Allen, J.K.Cooke statue. Gibbs has brought three SB wins and four appearances to the skins. If anyone gets a statue it should be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HogNose Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Just create a Sammy Baugh statue of the drawing below. It is all we need if a statue is created. He was the complete package. He is the Redskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
