It would have to go to Green. however, had Champ still been playing for the Skins now, that may be a tougher decision.

Re: Redskins Best Ever Poll Series
 

Pat Fisher was one of my favorite redskins of all time. I wish I could have voted for him but it is so obvious that Green is the best cornerback this franchise has had.

# 28 D. Green , slow as a snail , but he could cover :) . Pat Fisher was also one hell of a football player !

It's clearly DG, but I think if Champ had played his whole career as a Redskin he'd be right there.

Maybe but Champ has been burned alot over the years. Alot more than Darrell Green ever was. Champs a good corner but hes not in Darrell Greens class imo.

He was?? Not that I've seen. In his prime, most QBs barely even looked in the direction of the receiver he was covering. There was a time when you could look up "shut down corner" in the dictionary and see his picture.

When he was in DC he wasnt burned that often but when he went to Denver there were numberous games where he was torched. Bailey has had a very nice career but I dont think id ever put him in Darrell Greens class when it comes to CBs.

Currently I wouldn't put him in DG's category either. I was just saying that if he played his whole career with the Skins, we'd be talking about him and Darrell as the two best corners in team history.

Re: Redskins Best Ever Poll Series
 

Ok, who's the smartass that voted for Chump Bailey?

Yeah id agree with that. The only thing I was saying was if Bailey had played his whole career in DC the poll still would have Green up by a insane margin.

Honestly id love to know who the 5 people are who didnt vote for Darrell Green.

Dude you either must be being sarcastic or smokin some bad $h!t. DG was fastest man in NFL for years..

Re: Redskins Best Ever Poll Series
 

Thread is good...but the question is a no brainer..why even ask?
Not only is Green the best Redskins corner of all time...he could possibly be the best redskins player of all time

Re: Redskins Best Ever Poll Series
 

We've had amazing corners over the years.

When Fisher retired, I believe he had the record for most games at corner (league-wide.) Then Green had it. And I remember during the '72 SB that they said that Bass hadn't allowed a TD in 2 years! It's a shame his career was cut short due to a back injury. Of course, in the end, you just have to vote for Green.
