David says
Futty
Shane Harris says
Darlington Nagbe is my favorite Timbers player.
Georgia says
Bright Dike, obviously. In a city like Portland, who wouldn’t love a name like that?
Chris says
Steve Purdy
J.D. Yeager says
Darlington Nagbe, because of the sick goal he scored against K.C….
Ed H. says
Tough call. I’d have to say Gleeson. He stepped it up when he was needed, and is a Timbers prodigy, coming up through the U-23s.
Futty is a close second, though. (For very similar reasons.)
Peter says
Captain Jack Jewsbury. Consistent, reliable, and has a wicked distance shot.
Andy Yaxley says
Captain Jack: when of our most reliable performers. Without his assists and goals, well we would be a lot worse off!
@osubeav says
Jeremy Hall
Tim C says
Bright Dike. He’s a beast and will flatten defenders…
Cedric says
Troy Perkins. The man can deal with the pressure.
Izzy says
Futty!
Jeremiah says
Jack Jewsbury. Imagine what the Timbers would look like without him…
Cassandra says
This is extremely difficult, but I have to go with captain Jack.
Tim Holiday says
Jack jewsbury
Diskin says
It varies a little….but for RIGHT now…Mr. “Good Hands” Perkins. I’m still agog over his masterful performance at Chicago! He’s gettin’ a poster for that!
Caroline says
Kalif Alhassan. Most exciting to watch along with Nagbe and he doesn’t have any votes!
Althea says
Troy Perkins. I choose our keeper because he is a consistently great player. I’m frequently astonished by the quality of that man’s saves.
Dougal says
Chara has really shown some great growth this season, I have been super impressed with his end line to end line play in the last few games.
Jeff says
Kalif Alhassan. How can you not love a guy that will beat two players, take off for goal, then trip over his own feet? Definitely the best representative of our team.
Matt says
Has to be Sal Zizzo. No Timber brings more energy to the game than Sal.
Leo says
I’ve been a really huge fan of what I’ve seen from Troy Perkins! He’s been the lone bright spot in a really really bad area of the team and watching him make incredible save after incredible save after our defense breaks down is great.
Andrew says
Kalif Alhassan!
Phil says
Jack Jewsbury…he is just smooth out on the pitch and delivers a great ball. Plus he seems like such a quality guy off the pitch too.
Nick S says
Darlington Nagbe, the young gun
Matt says
Captain Jack Jewsbury, without a doubt. He’s been consistent, great from distance and knows where to get the ball so his teammates have a good shot at a goal.
Scot says
Troy Perkins! Without him, we’d be sitting with Vancouver at the absolute bottom of the table.
Rory says
Bright dike!
Ryan says
Darlington Nagbe. Up-and-coming superstar. He’s gonna be huge.
matthew tabacchi says
“FUTTY” Danso
Bryce says
Adam Moffat
Jones says
Perlaza is my favorite and excited about a healthy Dike!
Benjamin Wehage says
Captain Jack! He has pinpoint accuracy. He’s team first. He was still very disappointed after he got selected for the All-Star team because it was the same day we lost to Seattle. He is humble. And represents Portland very well.

Kenny Cooper!
