Darrell Green the best ever Redskin corner of all time. He played 19 seasons as a corner that has to be a record for most seasons played at that positon. Also he played with only 1 team for his entire career. Note worthys Chris Dishman, Lemar Parrish, Pat Fisher, Mike Bass, Tom Carter, Vernon Dean, Joe Lavender, and Martin Mayhew. Not a bad list of corners.

Hands down Green is the best Corner in Redskins History. He was very fast, played bigger than his size indicated, and had great ball skills.

I voted, making it 40-0, Darrell. This is, as the OP stated, the easiest for us. As good as Fischer was, he didn't last 20 years & NO ONE in the history of the GAME, not just the Redskins, had his style, speed, or hands. Darrell was a TRUE shutdown Corner & when he was on the field, over 70% of the passes that were thrown were thrown away from him...& he still made QBs & WRs suffer the way that he did...and let's not forget Dorsett & how he ran him down (I swear there was smoke coming off his feet watching him run across the field to catch him...just wow). Darrell, by a landslide.

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.

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

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.
