Who is the next Redskin to go to the HOF?

As far as current Redskins, or those of the last 10 years or so, since there haven't been any championships, I'd say you'd have to be absolute dynamite to get in the Hall. As far as I can tell, we haven't had those players.

I think once the likes of T. Gonzalez, Alge Crumpler, and Antonio Gates retire, Cooley will and should be able to overcome guys like Witten, Shockey, and Heap in stats. I think a Superbowl would really help Cooley's chance of becoming a HOF'er.

Forgot to mention Portis' lofty 130.8 career qb rating with 3 td's and a 60 percent completion percentage!

How does everyone view Champ Bailey? Do you count him as a Redskin? He spent 5 great years here.

hof no doubt, don't know about as a skin though since he left here unhappy. still wish he was in b & g, but we got a potential future hall of famer in CP.

I agree w/the earlier argument for Portis; when he's 30 or so he can become a solid 3rd down back and extend his career. He's already put up great #s plus he has the celebrity that the media likes.

Grimm is the most deserving that's eligible now. I honestly think Chalres Mann had a hall of fame caliber career he just didn't rack up big enough #s to get considered. He was a solid every down DE though & a team leader. Gary Clark deserves a look too, but I think the competition is too stiff at wr because the voters can't seem to agree on the criterion.

I would have to say Russ Grimm.

I think it's going to be a while before we see another Redskin go in. I honestly don't see any sure things out there on the immediate horizon.

[dmek25]

im with you. but if Portis can stay healthy, which is a huge if, he could have a shot

[Beemnseven]

If Portis' career ended now, no way he gets in to the Hall of Fame. At that point, I think we're basing his entry into the Hall on some sort of unforseen event -- like a Super Bowl win, and I don't even think that would be enough to get him in.

[MTK]

I saw someone mention Brian Mitchell and that's actually a solid pick to me, not sure that the Hall voters will ever see it that way though. They've got a serious grudge against kickers and specialists.

Aside from Russ Grimm I do not forsee another Redskin HOFer for quite some time. Maybe Chris Samuels. Clinton Portis might make it if he can have 2 more outstanding seasons (like he had in Denver) complimented with a few more decent seasons, and at least 1 SB ring.

What do you think Jason Taylor has to do to be considered a Redskins?

Say he stays here for 3-4 more years and wins a Super Bowl with us.. would that be enough to consider him a Redskins if/when he goes in to the hall, or will he always be a Dolphin?

[freddyg12]

I agree it's not gonna be anytime soon for the next skin. Grimm was at the top of his position for a long time & deserves at least serious consideration. Good career after playing too.

Portis really is on his way if he can continue to be a healthy every down guy for a few more years. He has the #s so far, the respect & star quality. Like others have said, if he gets a super bowl ring that could go far in voters minds.

one dude that probably won't get mentioned much but was an all around beast is Wilbur Marshall. He had tremendous years in Chi. & DC. In the 91-92, and 92-3 seasons he was as good as any LB in the game. If he'd been able to end his career on a strong note in DC I think he'd get some attention.

[Dgreen101]

Chris Sameuls or Clinton Portis are the next Skins HOF favs on my list. Portis just needs to keep it moving for a couple more years and sustain steady numbers, staying healthy ofcourse. Like others said, I don't see any of the Hogs getting in anytime soon which is pretty absurb.

[MPNRedskins]

Russ Grimm will be next. After that, I'm not sure. Jason Taylor, obviously, but he will most likely go in as a Dolphin. Of course, if we win a Super Bowl while Taylor is with us, he could go in as a Redskin.
