I was kidding. I am the happiest guy in the Greater Washington region. Someone tell GDripp. He can tell the Seattle message board how incredible Touchdown Jesus is.

In my opinion they never should have let Bramlet go. Jordan Palmer is so green and so far from being developed that he's no good for this year.

I prefer to reserve judgement until I know what we are getting in this deal.

That's the key part of a "trade" or any "exchange".

Also, you spelled my name wrong.

This feels legit to me. If it was Mitchell that got the scoop then it would have come from one of his old coaches - perhaps Don Breaux. This would make it more likely because, IMO, the only way it would prove to be false is if Snyder and Cerrato were trying to foist this on Gibbs by creating a media avalanche with the leak. Mitchell has no relationship with Snyder. I doubt they are on speaking terms. I think some deal will be coming.

Well my only question is still why even play Brunell more than a couple series if we know he will be traded? Wouldnt we instead want Collins and Palmer in more to get reps.

I mean, do we want to boost his value by letting him play or something? It still doesn't make much sense. Now if they went straight to Palmer or Collins right after JC's drive then this story would fall much better in place. Not saying you are wrong angry, but I am just confused.

I think he played as long as he did because it was in Jacksonville.

I also don't think there are any firm trade details in place, and I'm not even sure it's really going to happen. Seattle is interested and the Skins are listening, that's probably the extent of it right now.

triple x reporting that channel 4 said Brunell played his last game as a skin and brunell is open to seattle and Bram Weinstein says Redskins are emphatically denying the trade

[70Chip]

Comcast now confirms an "inquiry" earlier Thursday from Seattle. Brunell has been told nothing. Redskins, Wapo denying trade ...developing

Perhaps there is an an internal disagreement over what to do about Seattle's "inquiry". If this is Vinny's baby, Gibbs could still shoot it down.

It's possible that no "official announcement" can be made until the Seahawks game tonight is completed.

I like Brunell, solid back-up and class act. But I really hope he's traded. When he struggled here just about everyone rushed to heap blame on him (even for things he shouldn't have had to take the blame for) but very few people are ever willing to give him credit for anything. He deserves better than the treatment he's gotten in DC...and I'm tired of reading threads about him.

I agree I feel terrible when he gets booed or reporters ask him stupid questions, like today when they asked him directly about this issue on Comcast post game...

I give him his props for Dallas, 2005. Probably better at this point if he goes, but I still can't see Collins doing much.

Did anyone see brunell get interviewed after the game. The guy said "I want to wear this jersey still, I believe in what the Redskins are doing... and I want to be a part of this team" (paraphrased). I really feel bad for the guy.

I really love Brunell as a human being, but as a QB, I'm well finished with him. Godspeed Brunell.

[hooskins]

I love Brunell, why would they ask him that question? Wtf is up with that...

[hooskins]

Yeah I looked at Seahawkshuddle.com and they have nothing yet. I am too lazy to register and post it up there.

[hooskins]

So I just posted an iquiry thread about it in the Seahawks forum Seahawks Huddle - Home of the 12th Man :: Home to see if they know more about this. I gave them the link to the channel 9 article.
