I like to post Redskin signings on here.... but wasn't sure if this one would qualify:

I would say....No.

Tidewater had Byner, Theisman and Rypien at individual signings over the last 8 -10 months, but they don't have any Redskin signings for the rest of this year.

I missed Bass. That would've been cool. I agree with you, it would seem to make sense to do more Skins, especially right after the Beach Blitz ? ? ?

Jesus, will somebody get arrested so I don't have to talk about Irving f-ing Fryar!

You didn't have to talk about him in the first place

I am bored so I decided to check out this lame thread since I can't sleep. My answer to your question is no. He was only here what? a couple seasons if that and only had a limited amount of receptions. I think he had a TD or 2, but not much production for the time he was here. Was a waste of space like Andre Ware for the most part.

I fail to see the connection between Irving Fryar and Andre Ware except that you list yourself as "from the Detroit area." Fryar had a productive (if unspectacular) career whereas Ware never accomplished anything. I guess we should let this thread die, but I just wanted to make this (useless) observation first.

So do you consider Timmy Smith a true Redskin?

Anybody who sets a major record that still hasn't been broken en route to a Championship is definitely a true Redskin.

He never did anything else so why wouldn't he be Redskin 4-Life?

Does anyone seriously consider Vince Lombardi a Packer coach? He coached the Redskins for a season. They don't even show him with the Packers in the Hall of Fame. It's just Redskins' pictures and stories.

So of course, Fryar is a Redskin. His stats are Redskin property.

Are you kidding? He was the FACE of the Pack from 1959 to 1967, and one if not the most successful coachs in American football ever. Winning 5 NFC championships.

He retired for a year. Then returned to coach the SKINS for only ONE year, passed away shortly after. He is a HUGE part of the packs history!

Yes Fryar WAS a SKIN from 1999-2000 of a 17 year career, 2 seasons and played 30 games, at the end of his career and his stats were OK at best. Yes, his stats will go down in SKIN history books, but he's a 2 season SKIN that will be remembered, more for just finishing his career here. Not doing much of anything.

Vince I'm sure had forgotten his time with the Packers by early in his first preseason with the Redskins. No one serious about football still attaches Lombardi to the Green Bay Packers.

I mean, a team from a small working class town in Wisconsin - named after meat packers? That, compared to team named after the proud first Americans, playing in our nation's capital?

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.
