    Rich, I look forward to your future Atlanta Falcons discussions and interviews that do not include the words "Michael Penix Jr." Surely you can find something else to discuss. Why don't you consider speaking with us about Justin Simmons, or Matthew Judon, or Jessie Bates III, or Grady Jarrett, or A.J. Terrell, or Kyle Pitts, or Bijan Robinson, or Tyler Allgeier?

    I saw someone in the comment section that I didn't want to reply to because there's no point, who said "rich cannot let this go." It's a totally nuts perspective to have that "rich needs to let this go." A multi-billion dollar organization made a decision that's absolutely wildly insane and that probably less than a tenth of a percent of people saw coming, it's worth talking about for years, let alone months.

      Goes to show how much of a professional he is, but I think it's going to keep him from being a complacent player. Knowing your job isn't secure at all times and is all dependent on how you play will surely keep you on your p's and q's. Kirk knows that the NFL is a business.

    Kirks job is to keep the money coming in before someone tells him he is just a career 500 guy and it's time to attach that label permanently. He has done a wonderful job supporting his family and being an upstanding human being. But he is just a good QB who will never be a champion on the field. off the field there are none better.

      Just like Matt Ryan and Vick right?! No superbowl for them.If you actually could comprehend football you would have saw that Washington was awful and the Vikings had the worst o-line allowing an avg 2.3sec in the pocket before being pressured and being sacked the most due to that. the nfl avg is 3.5 sec. Also the Vikings had no rb. During that cousins still managed to make it to the playoffs even though the opposing team knew he would throw most of the game due to terrible rb. Oblivious to the fact he lead the league in passing before injury with no rb. It’s ok special timmy😂😂😂
