Darth Tater Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 His knee was down but it was extremely questionable as to whether or not anyone touched him before the ball came loose. Not relevant that no one touched him. When a QB intentionally puts his knee down, the play is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enter Apotheosis Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 yea, i'm guessing it was a mute point for the most part, since no one on the Broncos defense picked it up or tried to advance it down field or make any issues of it at all, at least during the game.just curious if that game would of played out the same way had someone picked the ball up and ran it in for a TD. Moot point :pfft: Actually, a player on the Broncos did pick it up and start running the other way but the play was whistled dead by that point.

HawaiianTime Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I went with Sonny first primarily because when you listen to him in the booth, he gets so worked up, he sounds like he wants to strap on the pads and sling it for the Redskins. You gotta love that in a retired player. Then of course Sammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hates that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'Em84 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Baugh no question. But then you have to look at RINGS IMO either Joey T or Doug Williams....there is a lot of love for Sonny he was great but never won a ring so kinda scratchin my head over his votes. Marino never won a ring but he was better than Big Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostofSparta Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Sammy and Sonny for me, and it wasn't even close. This franchise has been sorely deprived of quality QBs except for the handful listed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Easiest pick yet. Baugh and Sonny. The only two bona fide franchise caliber QB's we've ever had, and two of the all time greats anywhere. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluefood Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 And personally, I don't care that Baugh's already been chosen as the team's punter and corner. The man was the most versatile player in history and, maybe, the greatest player in the league's history. It's tough to argue against Baugh.

LeftCoast Skinz FAN Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I went with Slingin' Sammy Baugh, a true Redskins legend and Doug Williams, Super Bowl MVP. The hardest part would be to decide who would start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msak24cardss Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I went for Sonny & Joe. I'm sure Sammy was right up there, but I never saw him play. I still remember Hobble & Wobble and the over the hill gang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasjhughes Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I'm sure Sammy was right up there, but I never saw him play. I didn't see him win the NFL title as rookie in 1937 either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember Hobble & Wobble and the over the hill gang. Whether you saw him or not is a moot point. The man not only dominated in three different positions, but he lead the Redskins to an NFL title in his rookie season and made the passing game a legitimate strategy in pro football. Before that, it was nothing more than a trick play/desperation move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mania Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 KDawg, I love all those guys, but for me Doug Williams is a hero unto his own. Hurt and hobbling, comes back in to the SB and sets the game afire. BTW, was he the SB MVP as one of his credentials. As for the second guy because simply of his stature in Redskins history, Slingin Sammy Baugh, maybe the greatest ever to take the field as a Redskin. Forget Redskins, Baugh may be the greatest player to take the field....PERIOD!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Sonny was more talented than Joey T but I don't like him much at all. He was a bit of a malcontent and a lazy player and his teams never did anything of note. Its not like he was playing with a bunch of nobody's either because he got to throw to Bobby Mitchell and Charley Taylor for a while, plus he got to play for Lombardi and Allen. Plus I absolutely can't stand listening to him on the radio, and I'm not going to lie, that factored into my decision too. I love Theismann and voted for him because he was the QB during the greatest era in our team's history and his personality was a big part of what made us us. Theismann didn't have close to Jurgensen's natural talent but he had ten times his charisma, toughness, and moxie. IMO the 1982 season was by far the greatest in team history, and if you were to ask me what the three most spine-tingling moments in our history are: 1.) Riggo's Run 2.) We Want Dallas 3.) Theismann's block that sprung Joe Washington for a game winning touchdown against the Giants after getting his teeth knocked out in the first half. All of those were from the '82 season, and I love everything about that 1982 team, even though I wasn't born for another three years after it. There's not a doubt in my mind that Joey T would be the consensus choice along with Baugh if it weren't for a bad day in Super Bowl XVIII and that disastrous Monday Night game against the Giants in 1985.

Going Commando Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Also I'm surprised nobody put an "other" vote in for Eddie LeBaron, or that he wasn't one of the available choices outright. He's just as deserving of votes as Williams, Kilmer, and Rypien are. I know it sucks he was stolen from us by the Cowboys, but he can't really be blamed for that--that happened because of Marshall's foolishness. LeBaron was a special player, he and Gene Brito were pretty much the ONLY good things at all about the 1950's for us. LeBaron was pretty much the living embodiment of the old school Football Hero: decorated war hero, scrappy player who achieved against long odds, exciting talent, two way player, tough as nails, etc. He went to three Probowls for us as well.

LApunkrocker72 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I voted for the two Hall of Famers: Sammy Baugh and Sonny Jurgensen. If the Redskins would have had a defense and a running game in the 60s, I think Jurgensen would have won at least one or two championships.
