What All-Time Redskin QB was most dominant?

[charlielyons]

since we are all in debate as of late about the QB situation or lack there of in Washington. who does everyone think was the most dominant QB in redskins history and why

[hagams]

According to 30% of the people on here, Colt Brennan.

Historians would say Sammy Baugh or Sonny Jurgenson, but I never saw them play. In my lifetime it would have to be Joe Theismann -- a consistent, season-after-season threat that you could always count on.

Since then, Mark Rypien in spurts. In 1991 he was dominant. But apart from that year he was far from consistent.

This franchise hasn't had much luck at dominant quarterbacks. Not many franchises have.

Gus Ferrotte. He took that hit from that big defensive...wall.

[DynamiteRave]

Sonny.

Or Sammy Baugh. He was like the old school Colt Brennan.

I'm glad you said "most" in your question cause I really don't think any were dominant. All had a low QB rating and most were never top draft choices. It seemed either Gibbs or whoever he had training them did an excellent job with them. Other then that Kilmer or Jergenson.

Theismans been the best that Ive watched,I think Brad Johnson could have been another if Snyder wouldnt have screwed that up

Joe T.

Don't get me started on the Sonny vs. Billy debate. There was no comparison. Sonny was hands down a better QB. Kilmer was a converted RB with a noodle arm. Always threw wounded ducks. Sonny could flat out tho' the ball! (Sonny's words!)

Never saw Baugh, but he must have been special.

No other QB we have had since Sonny could flat out throw it like Sonny!
He never dominated because he was always playing from behind. We had some poor defenses.

Ryp was very good during that one magical year we won the SB. Almost dominant.

I didn't see any of them play, but it's hard to compare Baugh to anyone else since his claim to fame is revolutionizing the QB position (as well as being one of the best punters the league has ever had and leading the NFL in INTs a few times), not necessarily being a really great passer or anything.

If you give me a vote, I'm taking Jurgensen, but then again, the Brad Johnson era is ancient to me.

Let me see here.

Brennan has never taken a snap in a regular season game.

Brennan struggled mightily in half of the preseason games he played in against 3rd stringers.

Brennan is struggling as a 3rd stringer in practice at Redskins Park.

Brennan has never practiced with the first teamers or otherwise developed a rapport with the receivers.

The coaches think Brennan isn't as good as Collins and have therefore placed him as the #3 QB.

To my knowledge, Brennan hasn't even dressed for a single game.

Campbell has a QB rating in the mid 80s, but has struggled against the #1, #2, #3 and #8 defenses in the league.

But, yeah, lets start Brennan. The Redskins fans' tendency to think the grass is always greener on the other side is alive and well.

The executive decision earlier was no more Colt Brennan threads. This is an attempted hi-jack. I'm not a mod, but I would probably keep this thread close to what it's title reads or it will go bye....

I saw Sammy Baugh play once. I think I was about 8 years old at the time. My only real knowledge of Baugh is the record books and those records/stats say he was the best Skins QB ever.

Here is one of Sammy Baugh's accomplishments that will never be equalled. In a single game, Baugh threw 4 TD passes and had 4 INTs also. He played DB as well as QB. Oh, yeah, he also led the league in punting a couple of times...

Sonny Jurgensen was the second best. I saw him play at least 50 games.
