Best Redskins Quarterback of the past 20 years

That's not a great list, can't help you with the rankings. Some of those guys were at least OK, but their time with the Redskins wasn't the prime of their careers.

Donovan McNabb was great...just not for the Redskins.

Mark Brunell was very good...just not for the Redskins.

Kirk Cousins was (is) very good and put up some great numbers. Threw some really bad passes at key times.

Jason Campbell put up some good numbers, especially for a young QB.

Alex Smith was very good in his one (shortened) year with the Redskins and then got his unfortunate injury.

RG3 was very good..for one year.

I'd say probably Kirk Cousins out of that entire list with Jason Campbell second.

RGIII probably had the best season as a Redskins QB out of that list. One season but none the less.

Cousins by a country mile.

Alex Smith.

Agreed. Alex Smith has been a very good quarterback everywhere he has been. He wins games. He suffered a very unfortunate injury. Hopefully he can make a comeback.

It’s easily rg iii. He had other teams in the division drafting players to stop him. Then he got hurt.....

The first and worst thing that happened under the Snyder era was getting rid of Brad Johnson after winning the division in 1999.

He went on to win a Super Bowl with Tampa Bay in the 2003 season.

They had a number of QBs that had success before the Redskins and the Redskins pretty much killed their career.

Mark Brunell, Donovan McNabb, Rex Grossman, Alex Smith (injury), Case Keenum.

RG3 had one good year.

Kirk Cousins started all 16 agmes in his last 3 years and passed for over 4,000 yards each year.

Won the division once. Had a lot of injured teammates each year.

Cousins was the most productive Redksins QB in the last 20 years.

Brad Johnson was the best QB they had as a Redksin.

Best career of the group is probably McNabb.

Glad to see some redskin love on the board. I too am sad all the time, but love my Skin's. I grew up with Sonny Jorgenson, Billy Kilmer, Joe Theisman, and Mark Rypien and RIGGO (not a QB but he has to be mentioned) and Doug Williams. These guys were great competitors and had great teams to back them up. Since then (and your list) the Redskins have been the place to go to end a career and I felt bad for Alex Smith coming here.

HTTR &202 & Riverboat Ron & a new Defense oriented team!

very steep ideas, I really like

They not the Redskins anymore.

They changed their name to WTF. 🤔

The main issue in Washington isn't the QB, it's the owner. Cowboys and Indians used to be must see TV because the teams were both solid. Now it is a show of which owner will ruin which team the most. Jerry Jones has morphed into Al Davis in his late years. Other than Alex Smith, it is worth noting that the only other two that had a modicum of success were Shanahan acquisitions. I like riverboat Ron. Hopefully he is given the latitude to be successful without interference from the owner.

Worst was clearly George Armstrong Custer. Got bottled up in the pocket one too many times.

Based on the time in Washington only:

Smith

Cousins

Johnson

Heinicke

How do you not have Taylor Heinicke on your list, by the way? He accomplished more in one losing effort than 80% of those QBs did in their entire dreadful Washington careers.

Browns fan here.

Our QB list is worse than the Skins lol. Dating back to Testaverde/Kosar/Tomczak.

I always wonder how the '85-'89 Browns would have done had they beat DEN and faced the NFC East Giants and Skins...

Alex Smith. No one else even close.

John Beck, baby!

He never got the opportunity in Washington, but Sage Rosenfels was one of the best.

Its still so funny that the ol' ball coach thought, nay, was certain, that he could just plug in any former Gator QB .

Did he think Vanderbilt and Ole Miss were on the schedule?
