Gart Monk Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I was listening to Arrington & Dukes discuss CP's legacy with the Washington Redskins and think that it basically comes down to whether or not he should be immortalized on the Redskins Ring of Fame after his career is finished here. Thoughts? http://1067thefandc.cbslocal.com/2010/11/24/the-lavar-arrington-show-with-chad-dukes-112410-hour-3pm-4pm/ R.O.F. members http://www.redskins.com/gen/articles/Redskins_Ring_of_Fame_43585.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I'd need to know all the names that are already up there which I don't off the top of my head, but I'll say no. Without knowing the exact names, I'd probably guess that all the names up there are beloved, legends, or contributed to winning Super Bowls. Neither of those two things apply.

WhoRUSupposed2Be Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Sure, why not add some new blood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USS Redskins Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Yes - especially if he is able to heal up and make the team next year and break Riggo's team rushing record. Riggo was great but he ran behind the Hogs for a number of years and Portis ran behind the Scumbags - err.. dirtbags - who had one great player among them, Chris Samuels. The Skins O-Line has been crap for years and he still produced yards and delivered some killer blocks, protecting the QB. Portis has been the only offensive bright spot on this team since 2004 (except 2006 & 2009) and he has been one of the toughest RB's ever. Save the space on the Ring.

OnlySkins4ever Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 How is Doug Williams in and not mark Rypien? Mark had an entire season of great play rather than just the Superbowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander PK Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Yes. He has largely been a bright spot among 7 mostly difficult seasons. If he is done, 2nd all time Redskins rusher has certainly earned him his spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sekhmet728 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Yes, and I think putting his name right next to Sean Taylors would be most appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spade Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Who are the people against him being in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I would think so. Perhaps not immediately, but his numbers and longevity with this team are substantial enough. Portis' downsides... not practicing, skipping offseason stuff, and his treatment of fellow coaches and players will be absorbed in history and what will be left is his achievements which include a bunch of thousand yard seasons... one really nice Riggo stretch in 2005 (put the team on his back) and incredible blocking... although that will likely be forgotten.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 If Lombardi's in, for a mere season that didn't end in a championship; then our second best ever rusher deserves to be. And I aren't slating Lombardi before anyone jumps. He went a long way to changing the attitude of this franchise around in that year, which rolled on with George Allen and Coach. Just saying. Hail.

HOF44 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 So I guess you'll eventually vote no to Cooley also huh If he is never a big factor on a team that goes deep into the playoff, then no, I would not vote Cooley either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmerz Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 No, absolutely not! Any RB who received 40 carries a game would rack up those kind of stats. Other than a ton of YDS what else has he done for this team? Not a Skins legend...IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chachie Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 How is Doug Williams in and not mark Rypien? Mark had an entire season of great play rather than just the Superbowl. Excellent point. I think Ryp will make it in one day. He's a fine gentleman to boot. On topic- Hellz yeah CP should go into the ROF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky21 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Should not even be a question.+1WTF? The guy is second all time in rushing yards in team history.

Truant Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 There is no question. He should absolutely be in. I'm surprised Rypien is not in. That should be on the short list of things to address ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
