Seemed that way. I liked Kilmer (given his limitations, he did well), but Sonny was great.

First Redskins game for me was Skins against Bears at the old Griffith Stadium.

here's an NFL vid:

Sonny Jurgenson to Charley Tayor - NFL Ultimate Connection

Those were great days. Sonny was one of the best defense readers of his day. With a so-so line and no running game to brag about he and Charley Taylor were amazing. Defenses always keyed to the pass play, made no difference to Sonny and Charley, long bombs, short passes for first downs Sonny and Charley did it with style in the face of rushes and double coverage on Charley.

My favorite Jurgenson comment: Sonny Jurgeson's reply to comment about his notable pot belly, "I throw with my arm not my stomach."

Thank you Charley...RIP.

Before they ruined the NFL, and before Snyder destroyed the Redskins, I loved listening to Sonny’s commentary. Great guy!

Charlie Taylor, btw, was a childhood hero of mine.
