Check Marshall's numbers as a Skin vs. a Bear

I don't see how Olkewicz didn't win MLB. I missed that poll.

One vote for OLB has to be Hanburger; 9 Pro Bowls, 5 1st Team All-Pro selections, all as a Redskin. Harvey would be second, 4 Consecutive Pro Bowls as a Redskin. Marshall was a dynamic player, but only five years here and 1 Pro Bowl. Arrington - negatives outweigh positives. He gets a -1 from me too.

With any poll it's completely subjective, but if we're voting for best all-time Redskin, a player's production in B & G should only be considered IMO.

You make a valid point. Both Hanburger and Marshall were great players as Redskins but Chris was here longer and did more in B&G. Chris Hanburger should get the nod but he probably won't because only old farts like me saw him play.

Marshall was one bad mofo. He get's my vote.

I'm going to have to go with Wilber on this one. I can't tell you how many games as a kid I'd scream out "WIIIIILLLLLLLBEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR" after an awesome stop. Was a tough poll because I loved Monte Coleman as well, but Marshall was one of my favorite players.

Wasn't around to see Hanburger but all of those Pro Bowls speak for something.
