Who is the next Redskin to go to the HOF?

The Squirer John Kent Cooke or Bobby Beathard. Owners and GM's get voted in.

With the splash that Donte Hall made and what Devin Hester has sustained for the last few years that puts Mitchell on the outside looking in. Mitchell a much better career than Hall, but I dont think we'll see him get in. 80's players is a toss-up to me Grimm and Jacoby. With our free agent history and subsequent lack of draft picks in the mid 90's-current it is tough to single out a player that might get in since we dont have too many legitamate franchise born and bred players.

If Portis gets to the 12000 yard mark it may be him, he could get to 9000 yards and over 70 Td's this year. If he averages 1100 yds a season with 8 td's over the next 4 years in a skins uniform hes looking at 12,100 career yards and 95 Td's and he will be 30 years old at the end of it. Good numbers plus factor in one of the best backs in years in picking up the blitz, and his nose for the end-zone you have a real arguement.

Compare to Ricky Watters who is a borderline HOF that will probably never get in:
10 yrs, 10600 yds, 78 rushing td's, 4248 rec yards, and 13 rec td's.
But a negative media image and sometimes reperesented as "soft".

Shaun Alexander:
7 yrs 9400 yds, 100 td's.. soft rep, and in career purgatory right now

If Portis maintains steady numbers over the next 4 years, he would set himself apart from Watters, and even Shaun Alexander I believe.

Nice post and good argument. If Portis sustains this level of play for another 6 years he'll land extremely high up on the NFL all-time rushing list. Health is a big factor there, of course.

A ring would look good for his candidacy though!

Not my favorite redskin but I think Chris Samuels will be the next redskin.

Jacoby and Grimm are much more deserving.
Mitchell also deserves to get in.

At one point, I thought Gary Clark deserved it too.

Good point about Samuels....I was thinking which one of the current Redskins would be HOF worthy. I can see Cooley having an HOF career...I must say that sometimes he is overshadowed by the likes of Alge Crumpler (when he was in ATL), Shockey, and Jason Witten.

the late mr cookesince he brought 3 lombardi trophies to dc.grimm,jacoby,and moseley all deserve to be in the hof.let's not forget joe bugel.does gary clark have a chance?

I think it'd probably be Samuels if anyone.. I don't see any of the Hogs getting in, which is pretty ridiculous IMO.

Portis will probably have HOF numbers but unless he wins a couple of SB and/or wins a few rushing titles and/or makes 3-4 Pro Bowls he won't make it. When looking at RB of his 'era' the names Tomlinson, Bettis, Alexander and Barber (ugh) will be mentioned before him for the HOF.

I would like to see one of the following:

Hanburger
Fischer
Grimm

I don't think Samuels has any chance. His entire career he's always been outshined by at least one other tackle within the NFC each season. Samuels has never started the Pro Bowl. Between Seattle's Walter Jones and St. Louis's Orlando Pace, it's hard to say Samuels has ever been the best LT in the conference at any time.

Jonathan Ogden, Jones, and Pace all deserve it before Samuels does. I can't see it happening for him - they just don't vote that many linemen in.

Gary Clark.

He has more receptions, yardage, and touchdowns than Lynn Swann and John Stallworth who were both recently voted in.

Not only that, Peter King, the man who for years denied the vote for Art Monk until he came to his senses, always said that as a beat reporter for the NY Giants, their biggest concern was Gary Clark.

Clark also has more receptions than Hall of Famers Don Maynard, Raymond Berry, and Fred Biletnikoff. And has more yardage than Lance Alworth, Paul Warfield, and Raymond Berry.

Gary Clark deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

One of the hogs. Either Jacoby or Grimm. I doubt they will let both get in but just one would great
