I'd have to check the stats. Has to be either 91 or 83. That 83 offense was unreal.
I , like you remember Bobby in 67 , my more firm memories are when Lombardi arrived at age 7
I remember the original B. Mitch as a tailback with Cleveland, the combination of Jim Brown and Mitchell was something the league had never seen before. I actually loved the Browns back then, even though they fell second to my hometown guys. After being traded to Washington they moved him to flanker and so thereafter teamed him with the incomparable Charley Taylor who also started out as a tailback.
wow....why isn't he in the hall of fame again? surprised Brian Mitchell isn't either.My fellow board members, for your enjoyment!

GARY CLARK 240 YARD RECEIVING GAME (WASHINGTON REDSKI…
For as much as we all hope that guys like Gary Clark, Brian Mitchell, and Joe Jacoby deserve induction into the hall of fame, we have to put aside our burgundy and gold fixations and try to see these guys through the eyes of those who vote them in. Soberly and factually there's no earthly reason why big Jake and Brian Mitchell aren't already in the hall. Clark on the other hand was never seen as elite, even though he was a four-time pro-bowler, one-time first-team all-pro, twice 2nd team all-pro, and a two-time SB champion, he was never considered a finalist for the pro football hall of fame much less even make it as a semifinalist. Call it voter bias if you wish, or perhaps voter ignorance, but these are the facts when it comes to our own Gary Clark. BTW; if you simply google... "Why Is Gary Clark Not in the Hall of Fame?" this is the very first thing that you'll see; Clark had the misfortune of playing alongside hall of Famer Art Monk, so he was outshined a bit. Clark has also become lost in history thanks to the explosion of the passing game after his career ended.
Arguably the '91 team could be the BEST ever to play! Rypien was slinging the long ball to Monk, Clark & Sanders. It was impressive how deep and often we threw it to those 3. Remember the playoff game vs Falcons scoring 56 points? The Skins offense beat the brakes off Jerry Glanville that day and it was awesome. We now have a similar trio and we don't go deep very often.
Sheehan always says according to analytics the 91 team was the best of all-time.
I have a few years on you. Bobby was here in 63 when we moved here. I think Charley was drafted in 64. Charley was drafted as a RB but clearly his position was WR. What a duo. Jerry Smith arrived a year later. Jerry should be in the HOF. He isn't I believe primarily because he was gay. They had no RB until 69 when Lombardi figured out Brown couldn't hear the snap and fixed that. Everyone in the stadium knew they were going to throw the ball. Later Sweet Pea Roy Jefferson took Mitchell's spot.
Woooow! You had the balls to say aloud what I didn't. Clark was that dude. Lol
