Does anyone consider Irving Fryar a Redskin

If Vince had run into Bart Starr in the street, he would have smiled, and shook his hand, I am sure. But then he would have turned away and rolled his eyes, and thought, "What an embarassment this so called "Starr quarterback" is. Here I am, coach of the Washington Redskins, and he comes up to me, like I am supposed to be someone who cares who he is."

Playing in snowy Wisconsin must have seemed like a dream at that point. Vince was now coaching the Redskins.

Yes, he had won the first two Super Bowls, but they weren't even called Super Bowls then. He led the Redskins to their first winning season in a long time, surely his most proud accomplishment.

lol..... well, there are times you just have to walk away....

he bounced around so much its hard to figure out what team he gets associated with. maybe the patriots?

[Carnage]

he was good for us, although obviously way past his prime. I had to live in philly a bit, and he was pushing a announcing career there.

[bigSkinsfan61]

I don't consider him a "real redskin". Very little production when he was here. I wish we had him at the start of his career.

NO! New England Patriot!

[Redskin Rich]

I like to post threads when Skins players are doing signing events... I just wasn't sure if he was worthy of such a posting... He was with us 2 or 3 years and I have seen him at a game or two on the sidelines since.

I think if I was going to have him sign something it would be a Univ. of Nebraska mini-helmet. He did pop around the league a bit and his best years were in Miami and Philadelphia (though he spent the most time with New England). I looked up his stats and he actually had better numbers in D.C. than I remembered.

|1999 was | 16 | 26 254 9.8 2 |
|2000 was | 14 | 41 548 13.4 5 |

No. He only played the 1999-2000 season with us at the very end of his long career.

Being he was drafted by the Pats in around 84 or so and played I think till 92 with them, that would have been his longest tenure with any team. He should be a retired Pat.

No way is Fryar a Redskin. He played for way to many teams and really didn’t do crap while he was here.
On another note there is no way is Timmy Smith not a Redskins. Not only did he help us win a S.B he went off setting SB rushing records in the process. It’s sad he never really played much after. But he sure picked one hell of a day for his shooting star go bye.

[Redskin Rich]

OK, OK... I get the point... This is not something that should be posted for a Redskin signing... but that is why I made the thread title as I did.

[wolfeskins]

i do not consider fryar a redskin.

Exactly. Irving Fryar. Please...

[SmootSmack]

Humor seems to be lost on a lot of people here, eh Oakland?

Fryar is more so a Redskin than Andre Reed but less so than Henry Ellard.

I am sure there should be no attempt to be light about subjects like this Fryar question. This is deadly serious stuff. If I was irreverent about this grave and vital question, then I think an apology on my part is due.
