They cannot trade cousins because he has a no trade clause falcons are just too stupid for even thinking about this. Forget about the fact they actually did it.
“ I wasn’t shocked, I was Flummoxed!” Even though you know it’s coming it’s funny everytime😂
It's such a great bit that I've adopted it in my day-to-day vernacular. Wife asks "how's dinner" and I'm all "I don't like it...i LOVE IT!" and just going into a rant about how delicious cheese is and her ability with using cheese in dinner contexts. Trust me married bros, it'll get you laid EVERY TIME.

I liked that immediately.
It was a shot at Nick to, after the 2023 game 1 loss he said he was more confident that Lakers was going to win and they have never won a game ever since 😂😂😂😂
That and the close sweep is some of the funniest bball talk out there.
Yall get off lil cuz! Shoutout 989
Paying someone $180 million and then drafting their future replacement in the span of two months is wild
In what happens if Kirk struggles, People will be calling for Penix but you got 100 million guaranteed locked in Kirk.
Would only be truly wild if Kirk was in his twenties or early thirties. Kirk isn't going to be playing in the NFL 4 years from now.
😂😂😂😂
@@commonsense3921there's no guarantee Penix works out either so that logic is dumb.

Falcons will never recover from 28-3. That was a franchise killing loss
If they wanted to recover, a few years of not being an embarrassment is exactly what you need.
We never even had back to back winning seasons until 7 years before that Super Bowl, so appreciate you assuming the franchise was ever alive to begin with
Thanks to Kyle Shannahan and his awful playcalling. Dude is the ultmate choke job in superbowls.

Lol Wild’s smoothest intro
If penix becomes a great nfl qb then this will look like a genius move. Only time will tell. Atlanta was not a dallas turner away from a Super Bowl lol.
Exactly. Dallas Turner probably isn't even changing point spreads, and people think taking Penix over him is like an all-time bad move already. If Penix works out, this move is great.
that division is ripe for the taking so trying to win now would be the best move
Penix is 24. Time is not on his side. What's the game plan, he sits two years before playing? Penix would be 26 before ever seeing the field.
The problem is the contract you gave Kirk will lower your ability as a team to support Penix
@@codyb.3015one of the best edges in the draft vs probably the third best qb in the draft ?
I was flumixed 😂
I believe it's flummoxed!
Which makes it even sillier because the spelling is silly
@@luckywright7285lol !!
So true...many teams don't even try to win the super bowl
My cowboys definitely don't
What's the point in trying when you know Mahomes and company are just gonna win no matter how hard you try? What's the point of even caring when you know who's gonna win the Superbowl before the season even starts.
@@SoccercrazyigbomanI'm starting to think Jerry didn't push Jimmy Johnson away because he was taking too much credit but because he was winning too much.
@@persistentlypathetic6820we just saw the Niners take them to overtime, the eagles lose by 3 and the Bengals outright beat them. They are dominant, but they aren't the Russell Celtics
@@EnanoPancracio but the pressure of playing them is just too much. Unless you have a historic defense like the 2021 Buccaneers. Bengals beating them felt like such a fluke. That whole Superbowl run they had felt like a fluke considering they maybe should have lost to the Raiders in the Wild Card that year if not for some questionable no calls from the officials
Brou almost made me spit out my coffee at work 😂 “I was flummoxed”
coffee ☕️ 😂😮
Every team WISHES to win the Super Bowl, but not every team WANTS to win the Super Bowl.
@francmittelo6731 Some pretend to try... Cowboys 👀
Every fan wants to win the Superbowl, but franchises don't really care, as long as they partake of the 20 billion NFL banquet.
And keep their jobs
This is the best show on American television.
undisputed better
Undiisputed better?! Mmm..let me see the TV ratings............
@@mr.e5312 You’re a monster.
McAfee pisses on this 😂
Nick actually brought up the point everyone else defending the Penix pick is ignoring. GB drafted Love in the mid/late 20s, not with a top 10 pick. That’s not an investment you take as an ‘insurance policy’
The difference is negligible if it ends up working out. Like if Love had been taken 8th overall but ended up working out, we wouldn't be saying the Packers were dumb for using an 8 And the Packers got criticized at the time for taking Love too It's only over the last year that people even started giving them credit for that. (Which will be the case for Atlanta as well if Penix works out)
Also The falcons never thought Penix would still be available at 8th. They wouldn't have been able to get him in the second round so it was the move they decided to make .
It literally does not matter… And as a fellow Vikings fan, we should’ve taken Michael Penix. Ourselves… Trading up with Tennessee, once New England said no, and decided to stick and pick. But no, it doesn’t matter where he was taken, if it ends up working out, and it’s not like they are particularly needy on the offensive line or at receiver, the receivers that we’re going at that spot in the draft… And with the defensive scheme that they run, it’s not like they needed any pressed corners. A pass washer? They can get that next year or later in the draft, or in free agency, but nothing matters if they don’t have the quarterback of the future after Kirk cousins… Because they saw what Kirk cousins this to the Vikings: he kept them far enough away in the draft, from being able to select in the top 10 without giving up a boatload
this show has been something i watch everyday since i was 17, im now a 23 year old and still watch everyday smiling. thank you guys pls never change this show
Penix would have been taken before Atlantas 2nd round pick.
I was convinced the Rams were gonna take him
That’s why you trade back to like pick 24 and get him there
Atlanta got calls to trade back cause the teams wanted penix. So they took him instead. They had no intention of taking him before the draft started.
Aka they had FOMO
But they took him with the 8th overall pick.
Happy Friday Wildes 👋🏻
I WAS FLUMMOXED😂😂😂
That “WHAAAT?!?!?” from Brou was from the soul. I watched that part about 15 times already…lol
Great chemistry as usual
Well at least penix can’t get injured if he doesn’t play lol
Yall believe Nick is really 6’1?!! He looks 5’9 on a good day
The history of the NFL shows that having a good QB and a good QB waiting has ALWAYS worked out.
The problem is most of times you knew the team was gonna be looking for an heir apparent to current qb (e.g. favre/rodgers). You also didn't see that team just pay a guy a boat load of money and then draft a guy with a high 1st round 2-3 months later. That's where this situation is different
Surely a good problem to have.
I love Nick's sense of humor.
But not as a Person.
I don't
Makes sense to me, Kirk just had big injury, sucks in the playoffs. And they put a 2 year option into his contract. Obviously they want to let penix sit for a year or two, and if he ends up with more potential then Kirk by his second year, they will let Kirk go.
Falcons did have a private workout with Penix, allegedly, where he threw for them and they were blown away and someone there said they hadn’t seen someone spin it like that since Matthew Stafford
Ayyyo “Wildes is harder on Ham than I am” is Wild *Cam voice* 😂
They didn’t show it but Wild’s read to intro the Michael Penix topic was amazing 😂
Penix is actually smart but they shouldn't have signed Kirk for the contract they did.
After the two years and his 90 mill guarantee is done it will basically be cheap based off of what other top QB’s getting paid
@@yokoblitt2157Penix will be 26 in 2 years that’s old

Exactly. Mitchell is the better Texas wr prospect.
@@sy12 The main knock on AD Mitchell is that he doesn't make much of an effort on the field unless he knows he's being targeted. Great WR, bad football player imo. Pickens comp is great.

We're gonna witness history this season. A 3-peat for the first time ever.
Luckily, we know Mahomes doesn’t really need receivers to do it.
Love to tell u patriots did it twice buddy lol
No they didn't? They won 2001, didn't make the playoffs 2002 then won back to back in 03 and 04 then LOST 05. They won 2014, didn't make the sb 2015 won 2016, lost in sb in 2017 won 2018@@jarredallsopp602

Haha Nick’s face when Brou said he didn’t want any more banners lol 😂 I love it 13:14
The Saints, Falcons, Panthers, and Bucs have all played a superbowl in my lifetime. I'm not sure any other division can say that.
NFC SOUTH!! GO BUCS
I love the Penix pick. It’s the most important position in sports
I like the player but the organization failed miserably by spending 180 mil and then switching course. They had plenty of time to identify Penix as their guy before FA. Then you could sign a cheaper short term option (flacco minshew brisett) until he’s ready to go.
Wildes still believes in Mac....jeez.....come on Wildes, take your loses
They forget, Chiefs has Hollywood Brown as well. Two fast men with hands
No kidding drafting penix with cousins is the most "we aren't trying to win now" move
These 3 are the best😂 "flummoxed"
Penix Jr is qb2 … really wanted to see him play next year
He will be in by week 6
You still might.
Im from NE and i wanted to cry when they took Maye
I'm finally glad to see something usual happen in the NFL draft
We forget Mahomes was a backup when he started. That was so valuable to his growth on becoming who he is. The masses follow each other's opinions like little sheeps.
sheeps
The situation isn’t close to the same. Chiefs easily dumped Alex the next year. Kirk has a big contract and no trade clause. They’re going to be paying him big bucks and won’t get the benefit of the rookie deal when he becomes the starter.
Same as Luck under Rodgers
@@Kyle36147Aaron Rodgers & Greenbay & Luck
Penix is older and more experienced than Mahomes was, he doesn't need to sit for multiple years in the NFL
Kirk is literally a two year rental and they’ll hand the keys to Penix when he’s 26.
Right people overreacting to this
Then why would you give all that guaranteed money for a two year rental ?
@@Joseph-pv8mrgoing market rate for a qb1 . It dosent matter bro was 35 anyways . Out of 5 seasons I say he get you to a nfc championship game max . By that time he 40. Falcons needed a qb period. Been kicking getting a young qb down the road since Matt Ryan
@@Joseph-pv8mr A veteran, above-average starting quarterback who has played at an occasional Pro Bowl level is going to cost $45 million per year in today's NFL. There is a major difference between having Kirk Cousins as a team's starting quarterback vs. having spare parts such as Desmond Ridder, Taylor Heinicke and Marcus Mariota as a team's starting quarterback.
A two year rental at $90 million guaranteed?...Penix isn't promised to be good and has a longer history of injuries at 24 years old than Cousins does at 35.
This show needs to be on the morning instead of undisputed...the chemistry is great
What makes the whole “I wasn’t” bit with Brou so hilarious is the choice of words he uses to describe what he actually he is 😂😂
My favorite take on Penix is that the Falcons are like the Packers with Rodgers and Love if Rodgers was worse and Love was worse
Penix if he ends up with good coaching will be better than Love. But starting out in Atlanta, that's a huge if..
First off Penix is a better prospect than Love so let's not act like when Jordan Love came out you or anyone was talking about him as a franchise QB. He never looked as good in College as Penix, not even close. At least make the comparison make sense. Every time a team drafts a QB it isn't just like the Packers
@@LonghornsLegend I agree Penix is a better prospect, but tbf, he's still QB4 like Love was. I think this was a good pick tho, just like the Love pick was a good pick. More teams should prioritize the future.
this is what I keep stating...Love & Rodgers scenario
Bro Cousins is coming off an TORN ACL , am I the only one who can see with the falcons are doing ?😭
Then don't give him over 100 million
Cousins is a 90 million dollar hit to the salary cap and hurts signing better players. if they were concerned Cousins health then don’t sign him. Penix has had three season ending injuries, Cousins has had only one.
@@styner3 my good brother in christ, there will be no cap hit in 2 years , his contract is front-loaded, secondly they need help DEFENSIVELY, there was nobody worth drafting high in the 1st round or, Nor was there any key defense guy worth going after in free agency. You can pay 100 mill for a qb that will be gone in 3 years or 75 mill for a linebacker AND STILL need a qb to win games. They got ahead of the curve.
Penix ended every year on the IRL so not a great move
i love that we all know the word Flummox lmfaooo
Brilliant Brou!
Flummoxed is nasty work. I need Brou to increase my vocabulary every time now 💀
lol.
Lols, penix will sit 2 years and end up being the best qb of this draft.
Flacons took the most pro ready qb of the draft to have him sit....i'm flummoxed too
These guys are the best !! Ten toes down !!
Jerry Jones has early dementia or something
well he’s in his 80’s smart one 😂
Lol it isnt early
They drafted a lineman...
@@arieldiaz9310 lol, yep the early dementia was when he pushed out Jimmy Johnson.
The only way this makes sense is if the Falcons wanted to trade the #8 pick, but didn’t get the offer they wanted. Maybe they trade Penix to another team mid-season
Lol
I love the show and especially watching it on KZhead. One thing though the volume is always soooo low
I bought a pretty nice older car, next day I bought a brand new car that I'm going to keep in the garage for a couple years
Cuz I saw Aaron Rodgers at the Jets
You can’t win a Super Bowl with Kirk Cousins
oh i wasn’t aware you come from the future, can u give me tommorows lottery numbers
@@mr.e5312 Ok, it is all but statistically impossible to win with Cousins as qb. You are right there is no such thing as 100%, but Cousins is one of the biggest losers at qb in football. Those guys just don't win.
Or win playoff games.
Josh Allen’s accuracy improving is an elaborate illusion.
The wheeze @ 3:11 (so good)
So, let me get this straight. You tamper with MY quarterback, take him away from me, pay him 100 million guaranteed, sign him for 4 years, and then draft a 24 year old LEFTIE with the eighth overall pick!? What the heck, Falcons!?
it’ll buffer out
Not happy with JJ McCarthy?
@@marleycoldburrHell no. Who wants a yt qb. JJ is absolute trash
@@marleycoldburrDon’t mistake my love for the only franchise QB of my lifetime for distaste with the future second franchise QB of my lifetime.

That was good Chris I wasn’t shocked😂😂😂😂
GOATED SHOW 💯
Really looking forward to the “rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated” moment for the Bills this year.
I agree with Nick. Im a falcons fan. I dont mind Kirk. I dont mind Penix. I do mind both in the same off season. The timeline doesnt add up.
Nah we good we went from having no QB to having 2 I’m fine with it it’s basically a two year rental with Kurt
Best sports show they dont just say nonsense debates they are funny great show
Another Great Show!
i was FLUMMOXED
All the NFL Pundits forget Wash drafted Cousins when there starting QB was RGIII Double Standards
... and people thought that was absolutely bizarre at the time. Nobody thought Cousins was going to be an NFL starter for 2 decades at that point.
This makes me happy as Panthers fan! Way to go Falcons...
If the falcons were worried about how Kirk would come off his Achilles injury, they wouldn’t have paid him 180 mil 😂
The problem is that we forgot about the process of drafting a future plan. Bring ‘em in sit em behind a vet and develop them for 2-3 yrs . It’s genius if it works out.
Brou gets that off EVERYTIME 😂
Oh boy Drake Maye is now Wildes new Mac Jones lmao
Yo brou is legit hilarious 😂
as a Falcon fan.. It was something.. then you think about the RT now being the blindside.. and our RT is so bad.. good pick
Wildes with the counter research lol
If Cousins is healthy, if he plays for three years and then it is time for Penix. But Penix will be 27 and a first time starter, would a stud defensive player be a better decision for now ?
Nick Wright is one of the most UNLIKABLE tv personalities ever
Penix will be 43 by the time he starts.
If Kirk Cousins gets injured or doesn't play well...Michael Penix Jr is not looking back🤞🏾
Great pick , we were not a Dallas turner away from a Super Bowl, cousin is 36 coming off a major injury he at best got 2 yrs left ..
Facts and we still got the DL in the draft we just drafted a DT in the 2nd and an Edge in the 3rd it’s been a solid draft so far
Insurance policy just in case Kirk’s injury is a problem
The best part of this segment is knowing that if the Bills had drafted Worthy, Nick would be lighting them up 😂 Also, apparently the Niners waved the white flag to the Chiefs, because they also traded picks with them.
You nailed it. It's almost like these teams will trade with any team if it will make their own team better.
The Niners aren’t in the same devision as the chiefs. They can make it to the Super Bowl without going through them first. I’m sure the bills have a plan but giving someone who’s beaten you in the playoffs three times in the last five years what they want is a bit odd
Kirk has the best manager ever this man has Finessed the league for years.
Buffalo wasn't taking Worthy at 28 and they felt Worthy would fall to KC at 32. They got a value swap for a player Buffalo thought was going to KC any way
Penix jr is their backup plan just in case cousins gets injured.
So you waste a top 10 pick for a backup, instead of adding a guy who can help the team now? That's why this is wild. I like Penix as the player but if they liked him and had him on their radar then don't sign cousins or for that kind of money
Nick trying to be the Keanu reeves of sports casting 😂😂
Just realizing I’m in deep on this show. I feel like I’m buddies with these guys.
I like Penix. He will start a few games this season.
Everyone says "Why Penix" It should be "Why Kirk"? You had: Gardner Mishew Russel Wilson Justin Fields All 50-95% cheaper. Kirk is expensive AF and created an unnecessary controversy.
I honestly dont hate the penix move.
