Redskins Starting Quarterbacks
1932-1949
Remember the days of quarterback stability? When the position first evolved in the NFL, the Redskins were fortunate enough to draft Sammy Baugh in 1937 (their first year in Washington). Baugh’s glory years dominate this page.

1932 |
Honolulu Hughes |
In 1932 Hank “Honolulu” Hughes threw 11 passes for the Boston Braves, far more than any other Brave. To put this into perspective, in 2008 Jason Campbell three over 500 passes. If anybody can help me find a picture of him, I would greatly appreciate it. |

1933 |
Jim Musick |
Jim’s “rookie” card is 1933 Diamond Matchbooks Silver #67. Musick was also quarterback of the Boston Braves |
|
1934 |
Steve Hokuf Steve’s “rookie” issue is the 1935 National Chicle Premiums #17 shown to the right. In this picture Hokuf is actually the defender making a huge tackle. The picture on the right is a 1934 team issue picture. As you can see, they were the Boston Redskins in 1934. |

Bill Shepherd |
I cannot find anything out there for this Boston Redskins quarterback. Any help would be appreciated. A picture from a game program would be perfect.
