Is it just me or does it seem like every #Redskins beat reporter has no idea what the team is gonna do and they just link them to a different QB each day because they need to get clicks

I mean, can someone pay me to say they like every top QB prospect in the draft? https://t.co/0HIUQms1St
Is it me or do some fans not have a clue how this works? Do people not have a clue that there are multiple scenarios that exist because ... they pick 15th? Is it me or is it really hard to understand we need to cover many scenarios? Is it me or is it that difficult to understand?

I'm just not real crazy about these QBs.
My Ryan Finley scouting report boils down to "yes, he is indeed a QB of the sort who is drafted by NFL teams."

When determining what NFL coaches think of QB prospects, I ask, "What would this QB look like to me if I believed I had magical powers to make all of his flaws disappear?"

2) What @OSUCoachMeyer told me: "His football intellect is over the top." (Board work w/teams reflected it)

Even a negative Nats fan has to admit that considering the team lost Trea Turner in the first inning of game 4, has had major bullpen drama and started 0-2, sitting at 6-5 coming home is admirable.

After two outs - 108.00
After three outs - 72.00

The Nats clobber the Phils 15-1. Winners of 2 straight and 4 of 6.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) April 11, 2019
✔️15 runs on 17 hits without a homer
✔️Adams knocked in 4, Rendon drove in 3
✔️Hellickson pitched 6 scoreless with 6 K's.
✔️Bullpen worked 3 one-run frames w/ 4 K.
✔️Rosenthal got a batter out for first time.
The #Nats have outscored the #Phillies 23-0 in the last 12 innings.
