Just me, but I put Theismann between 3rd and 7th on the list of Skin quarterbacks, depending on my mood. People overrate Theismann because he was an effective self-promoter, broke a long drought with a championship, and had his leg torn off on national TV. His stats were so-so, and a mediocre quarterback can win under Gibbs' system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's your #2 over Theismann? 7th seems crazy to me, the Redskins QBs have been terrible forever. Edited May 13, 2019 by MKnight82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stats were so-so, and a mediocre quarterback can win under Gibbs' system. He was also one of only two quarterbacks in franchise history to lead Washington to back-to-back NFL championship games (won one, lost one). The other was Sammy Baugh, who also went 1-1 in 1942 and 1943. Sammy is the obvious choice for best QB in franchise history, and I'm willing to go with Sonny Jurgensen for #2 ... but I'm kind of at a loss who would you put ahead of Theismann for #3. Mark Rypien? Yeah, he won a Super Bowl, but he was just as "mediocre" as Theismann was (Theismann is statistically better, but it's close). Billy Kilmer? Kirk Cousins?

Broncofan Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 To be fair Baugh and Theismann are the only jerseys that are retired so either way it’s a helluva tribute to Haskins no matter where you rank Theismann. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya I don't really understand this thread. It sounds like Haskins spoke to Theismann and during the convo brought up the number thing, but the only # the Redskins have retired is Sammy Baugh's. Theismann probably leaked the story to get some publicity lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a group with similar stats, and that group goes down to 7th. Joe is probably 3rd or 4th, but you can have arguments. It's not a slam dunk. The stats are not all that different, and the successes have been due to the team, not the quarterback. Eddie Lebaron went to 4 pro bowls on some teams that sucked.. Adjust for era, who's better? I dunno, and don't want to argue. So 3rd thru 7th avoids that. I guess, if it comes down to it, if I needed a quarterback who would I want? Adjusted for era, I'd say Sammy clearly, then Sonny. Mebbe Billy and then Joe. And even Doug could win the game with his arm, although his whole body of work is not high enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
