With Gibbs out of the picture who is now the face of the Redskins' franchise?

I kind of still think Joe Gibbs is still the face of the franchise... and will be for the foreseeable future.

I guess it all depends on your definition of what the face of the franchise actually is. I kind of take it is the first person you think of when you here the word "Redskins".

As far as an active person, I'd go with Dan Snyder. I think the Sean Taylor tragedy kind of reinforced that notion.

I think Gibbs is who people most often relate to the franchise, I remember in one of these posts, counting down the best franchises in the NFL, they said the face of our franchise was Gibbs. However, now that he's gone, I think CP is trying to solidify his place as that new beacon. I believe the FO wants him there too. By asking him to stay and work over the entire offseason, and be the team leader, as well as his constant appearances on Eastern Motors commercials and the spot he did on NFL Network last night. It just seems that the new face is CP

I went with CP. he seems to have embraced that role this offseason. Last night on TA he even mentioned playing in the preseason :eek: and seemed ok with that.

I'm going with Portis too. He seems to have matured a bit and has taken on the responsibility of being more of a team leader.

I put Cooley. He's on the upswing of his career, and he's a unique and charismatic guy. I would love to say Campbell, but he seems so uncomfortable in front of the camera.

Portis is the best known active Redskins player, but I think Snyder is the person most younger people think of when they hear about our team. Think of it, how many times have you read an article that said something like, "Although Snyder is known for wild free agent spending sprees, this offseason...." Snyder is the official whipping boy of most league observers.

Chief Zee!!!!!


or Snyder

Portis

Don't forget Joe Gibbs is still on as a consultant -- a role that will likely increase dramatically when the season gets going.
