    • He probably found out from Adam Schefter, who has a bad habit of being the spoiler basically revealing who's being picked before it's announced. No element of surprise when he starts talking.

  • i'm not very big on Penix, but he was drafted to a good organization for him. Gets to sit a year or two behind Cousins while also being able to come in afterwards with a pretty stacked offense. That being said, can't really justify the pick for the Falcons. Their pass rush is horrendous and they had a golden opportunity to address it and didn't.

  • But Penix is only like two years younger than Cousins... Joking. At best they're trying the Packers QB method. A lot of people asked "Why don't others just do what the Packers do at QB and draft a one to sit for 2-3 years to learn?" Well another team is trying it. Not that shocking. ATL gets 2-3 years of competing with Cousins, by the time his contract is up he'll be 39-40 and Penix will be ready to go (and only 25-26). At worse, they have a fall back plan if Cousins plays like Carr on the Saints.

  • I don't see why anyone would be empathetic for Kirk Cousins, who has been the closest thing to an NFL mercenary since he left Washington. He negotiates and signs only for large, guaranteed contracts, which he did twice in Minnesota. He left Minnesota for Atlanta solely because the Falcons offered him the contract with the largest guarantees. Cousins just got to Atlanta less than two months ago -- he has no built-in equity with the Falcons, and he had no such loyalty with Minnesota after six years playing there. Teams with much better quarterbacks who were entrenched in their organizations far longer than Cousins (Joe Montana, Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, etc.) made similar succession plans without involving the incumbent quarterbacks. Cousins' job is to help make Atlanta competitive and help further the development of Kyle Pitts, Drake London and Bijan Robinson over the next two years, and he is getting paid the market value of a quarterback of his caliber. He will be 36 years old at the start of the season and is coming off a ruptured Achilles injury. If Cousins thought he would still be in Atlanta playing until he was 40 years old, then he was delusional.

  • Call it a hunch, but assuming that he can stay healthy, I see Michael Penix as a guy who can play 10 to 12 years, but primarily as a backup who will compile stats being the guy who comes in when the starter is out for the season by game 8 or 9 or is signed as a stop gap until a franchise can draft their QB of the future. At best, I think he is a Ryan Fitzpatrick. Which ain't so bad.

  • You like that the Falcons spent 140million on Cousins and then took a 25 year old QB at 8? That makes no sense. I could make a case for McCarthy because he is young but taking a backup QB at 8 when you are trying to win now is counterintuitive. It also sucks for Penix because he is likely not going to see any significant playing time until he is 30 years old

  • Atlanta fans I`m sorry. Just a couple months ago it looked like the Falcons would have a pro bowl qb paired with the greatest coach of all time and now this. The offense will be good this year but the defense is going to get torched. They had an opportunity to fill a big hole and botched it to draft a bust at qb after just paying top market money for a qb.

Instead of trading 3 1st rd picks, when the Time Comes, Cousins retires or traded. They have a QB, who they have a 1st Rd Grade on, ready to play and knows system last 3 years.. Look at this draft, you know Giants and Minnesota wanted Drake Maye.. And didn’t happen, I wonder what Commanders and Patriots were asking? 3 1s and 2 2s, maybe…

  • I do understand the pick. I know we are all shocked by it but think that Cousins at 35 is coming off an Achilles injury. If he goes down so do the Falcons without a QB. Heinicke?Nah. Morris realizes you can’t win in the NFL with bad QB play. Falcons ignored this fact for the last two years and thought the “genius” of Arthur Smith could overcome it. If Fontenot loads up on defense with the remaining draft picks or can make a trade for an edge rusher, I feel all will be forgiven. Taking Penix and signing Cousins is a “win now and win later” plan.

    @Mark-sj3xb@Mark-sj3xb13 күн бұрын
    • If he goes down, then we draft a QB next year. If he doesn't and plays well for the next three years, then we essentially got nothing for a top 10 pick. And we have nothing to trade for an edge rusher but our draft picks. There is no such thing as a win now and win later plan. What we are doing is winning a little now, and winning a little later. This is how you become this decades Pittsburgh Steelers. Never good enough to be a real threat.

  • So what’s the plan here for the Falcons: If Cousins is ok and takes the team to the playoffs, yeah Penix sits a year but is probably expected to play in his second season. Or He stinks or gets hurt and then you shift in Penix. The main issue about both situations is that you paid this QB a bunch of money for the next 4 years and hamstring your cap for WHAT?! Plus it would be difficult to move off Cousins with his contract. Poor salary cap decisions being made in front of our eyes

  • Man I love an accurate QB. Its probably the biggest obstical to overcome. Guys do it, Dak is one of the more accurate QBs in the NFL now. Man if your strength is accuracy you have a huge leg up. The problem is, his ability to avoid the rush is really in question. He just couldnt move out of the way of one guy against MI. Colin makes it sound like MI was just destroying them, that was not the case. There was one guy most of the time and Penix panicked or couldnt move out of the way. I thought WA was the better team, and Penix lost that game. There are not a bunch of plays in the NFL where the QB doesnt have to make 1 guy miss, If Penix can do that he could be the best QB in this draft...he is such a great thrower. Of course 2 acl's on the same knee is a big issue as well...this was a bold move Cotton.
