Brian Mitchell
During the local Comcat pregame show before the Panthers game, Brian Mitchell was a guest and was praising the move Snyder made in hiring Gibbs back. He also said (shockingly) that if he made the HoF, he would go in as a Redskin. He even said that even though he left on bad terms in '90, that in retrospect, he was always a Redskin at heart.
Now after reading this article in the Post, I see he's still out of work after being cut by the Giants last February. Gibbs drafted him, Mitchell loves Gibbs, and it's looking more and more like his old #30 will be available again soon (poor Iffy). Do you thnk he's coming back? It sure as hell wouldn't shock me.

I don't. We have one of the best return men in the game, Mitchell has lost a step. If they bring him in, bring him in for FO duty.

Why not? Only Payton and Rice have more total career yards.

i don't think so... I never thought of him as dominating.
By the way... he left after the '99 season. The Redskins drafted him in '90. |

The Skins should sign him so he can officially retire as a Redskin.
He should have never left, another classic move by Danny boy. |

BM was here through those horrible years in the 90s and was our ONLY bright spot. He was the only guy I would look forward to watching every weekend. Then as soon as the Skins become good again (or so we thought) they dump him so they can bring in f*&*&n PrimeTime!! It always bugged me and I've continued to cheer for BM every time he touches the ball. Even when he plays the Skins I cheer for him to run one back in our face (he's the only guy that fits this category). I'd be thrilled to have BM back in any capacity, and would definitely like to see him retire a Redskin. |

Snyder was young and learning. He thought the big name would attract people, and I guess thought he had a lot more than that left!
