I might be completely wrong, but I don't have enough faith in a Bruce Allen led draft for him to unearth a hidden jewel of a quarterback in the latter rounds. Not unless they're going by the scouting that Scot mcCloughan was doing before everything blew up. If they don't draft a quarterback, I'm going to go with the hope/assumption that they truly do want to get a long term deal done and plan to do whatever it takes to get it done before the final deadline. Right now, my faithometer on that is registering at about 25%.

Lower round QBs turning out good have always been a rarity. For every Tom Brady there are hundreds that don't make it. I want no part of those odds even with Bobby Beathard picking.

The reports are Allen's offers have been a joke, way under market. So of course Kirk passed, that hardly means he does not want to be here as many claim. Make him a fair offer that reflects his market value and then we'll see. And yes that offer will probably make him the highest paid QB. But only until the next good QB's deal is up.

Redskins are hosting a game on Thanksgiving for the first time in history. They will be playing the night game (third game) on Thanksgiving. Probably will be on the NFL Network. Luckily for me, I have Verizon Wireless and they have made a deal with the NFL to carry games and the NFL network through their app on the phone. So, I can at least catch the game on the phone if I had to. Otherwise, I don't have cable or satellite, so I don't have the NFL Network and I really don't have to deal with illegal streams this year.

You're in luck ... it's on NBC. I'd have been really surprised if it wasn't.

Not a great schedule for Kirk's baby due date.

@ Rams week 2.

Ahhh, yeah, I went back and checked and you're right, NBC! Awesome! I know in the past, when they first started adding a third Thanksgiving game, it was played on the NFL Network. So now, we have a great Thanksgiving planned. Eat turkey, take a nap, wake up to watch the game!

Oh man, I was going to use to again this year to test these streams. Oh well, good for you.

So the draft is here, the day when the Cleveland Browns ruin some fine young men's lives.

Wow, they just mentioned the Browns wanted to get Kirk Cousins? How could that be, strange stuff going on with this draft!

Dear Lord what were the Bears doing? This draft shows how teams desperate for a QB do stupid thing, which is exactly why Washington needs to tie up Kirk Cousins. Redskins appear to have gotten the steal of the draft at their biggest position of need, very happy.
