    Penix should demand a trade, this is a bs way to start his nfl career, Maybe he could sit behind Cousins and learn for one year, but that's it, then demand that either he or Cousins gets traded if he proves himself to be starter material, which he likely will. He could be like CJ Stroud this year if he was playing. Really, he should demand a trade now, make it clear that he won't play for the Foolish Falcons no matter what.

    I get why everyone is freaking out over this situation but it’s not that big of a deal. It doesn’t hurt to have two quality quarterbacks when the rest of the league barely even has one. They could they could trade Penix in the near future or they could trade Cousins in two or three years. Either way they could easily add more value than a first round top ten pick. Most first round draft picks aren’t up to par with the average level of competency for their position as a starter in the nfl.

Plus you're not making your team better right now. Their defense has been garbage for quite a while. They could have gotten an elite rusher that's ready to step in from day one. The message you send to your team is I don't care about winning right now with Cousins. And you create an issue with Cousins if he struggles and fans pleading for Penix.
      And I like Penix a lot, but if he couldn't physically hold up in college how is he gonna hold up in the pros with grown men. He has a pretty slight build. Tore his acl twice already and also separated his shoulder a couple times.

      The point is that he doesn't need to improve. Being picked at #8 and being told by experts throughout the past two years is that he's pro ready, only to have to forcibly sit for the first 2-3 years of his pro career. It limits his chances and time to put up clout for his second contract which EVERY draftee is wanting from the get-go.
      No one is questioning Penix and where he was picked. What they're questioning is the spending of $180 million on a stop-gap.

      Rookie contracts are a joke, he now has less leverage for his resigning contract, bc if Kirk starts 3-4 years, Penix will have no snaps in the NFL, Penix should’ve gone to the Raiders and started immediately. Penix will be almost 29 by the time his rookie contract is up

      @michaelcorcoran8768 Před měsícem

      Well, I mean it could absolutely impact his earning potential. If he doesn't get enough snaps in the 4 years... Obviously you probably rather get picked eighth than 20th but he'd probably rather get picked 9th to a team that it would actually play him then 8th.
      The difference between getting picked 8th and 13th is pretty marginal in terms of finances.
      " Being able to learn and practice" as a backup is not a good thing for a quarterback trying to maximize his earning potential.

    One million percent disagree.
    There are a handful of outliers who "get it" right out of college and are able to operate an NFL offense from the get go.
    Then there are most QBs who come into the NFL who need time and mentoring and nurturing and practice and preseason reps to "get it"
    Penix is one of the lucky ones who has that time built in to his development.
    He's got a chance.
    Most are rushed in and discarded.
    Maybe Penix is one of the rare ones who "has it" from his inception in the NFL. The odds, historically, are big time against that.

      2. Jeebus Forking Cripes... the Michael Penix Jr. whinging is getting on my nerves.
      The mistake wasnt drafting Michael Penix. The mistake was signing Kirk Cousins for $100M. Dude has earned more than Tom Brady, but only has 1 playoff win.
      3. *Cousin Kirk fans are already lining up their usual excuses:* If Kirk Cousins doesnt win 2-3 Playoff games, they will simply claim that not wasting an 8th pick on an Edge rusher, is the reason why Kirk Cousins failed. 😅🤣😂 *FACT IS* With or without Michael Penix Jr Cousins should be winning a Divisional playoff game.
      4. People are pretending as if Falcons drafting Laiatu Latu or Dallas Turner would have been the piece for Kirk Cousins to take the Falcons to the Superbowl. Kirk Cousins could have JJ Watt and Nick Bosa and he still wouldnt go to the Superbowl.

    Dan's delusional takes:
    1) Thinking ATL are Superbowl contenders with 1 extra edge rusher --> they're closer to a full rebuild
    2) Thinking ATL has to start Cousins for 3 years --> he has won 1 playoff game in his entire career
    ATL has a new coaching staff. The pick is a little strange but if you LOVE Penix and multiple other teams loved him (by asking to trade up) then I can see taking him. It's not like they mortgaged their future like the Bryce Young trade. If Penix ends up being good this will all be water under the bridge in 2 years. They've made their bet. Now just move on and let it play out.

      The issue isn't that Penix is going to have to sit, the issue is that they drafted him 8th overall a month after signing another QB to a 4yr, 180m deal. This is a completely different circumstance than someone like Mahomes sitting for a year behind Alex Smith.
      Falcons were 7-10 last year with no QB. Now they have Cousins and could've taken Odunze, Byron Murphy, Dallas Turner, etc and been a real threat in a very weak NFC.

    I am sure Penix is very happy. The first time Pexnix gets hits is about five years from now; he will fold like a cheap lawn chair.2019: Penix, a lefthander, dislocated the SC joint in his non-throwing shoulder in November 2019, ending his season prematurely. The 2020 Penix season ended abruptly when he re-tored his ACL against Maryland. Indiana played only two more games. By the time 2021 rolled around, injuries were starting to take a toll on Penix's mind. He told the Pac-12 Network earlier this year that he dealt with mental health struggles as a result. In the 2021 season, he ended after only five games, with Penix suffering a dislocated joint in his throwing shoulder. At that point, Penix had thrown more interceptions than touchdowns in a season that would see Indiana finish winless in Big Ten play.

    Sorry Dan I don't get all the negative pub Atlanta is getting over The pick of Penix. I've heard you say dozens of times how you don't understand why we don't develop quarterbacks more we just throw them into the fire. Isn't that what Atlanta is doing drafting a quarterback they love and think can be the man and they're willing to develop them behind a quality quarterback. I think their logic is pretty sound whether it works out or not none of us know

    *BREAKING NEWS:*
    1. Cousin Kirk, a Quarterback who pretends to work on Mondays, and doesnt work on Tuesdays and his silly fans, are upset that Michael Penix Jr. (the most talented college Quarterback since Trevor Lawrence, Caleb Williams & Deshaun Watson), a Quarterback who works from Sunday till Sunday got drafted. 😅🤣😂
    2. Jeebus Forking Cripes... the Michael Penix Jr. whinging is getting on my nerves.
    The mistake wasnt drafting Michael Penix. The mistake was signing Kirk Cousins for $100M. Dude has earned more than Tom Brady, but only has 1 playoff win.
    3. *Cousin Kirk fans are already lining up their usual excuses:* If Kirk Cousins doesnt win 2-3 Playoff games, they will simply claim that not wasting an 8th pick on an Edge rusher, is the reason why Kirk Cousins failed. 😅🤣😂 *FACT IS* With or without Michael Penix Jr Cousins should be winning a Divisional playoff game.
    4. People are pretending as if Falcons drafting Laiatu Latu or Dallas Turner would have been the piece for Kirk Cousins to take the Falcons to the Superbowl. Kirk Cousins could have JJ Watt and Nick Bosa and he still wouldnt go to the Superbowl.
    5. 14 starting QBs got injured in 2023. Therefore you might as well take a very good QB in the 1st round and a good Defensive End in the 2nd round and thats exactly what Atlanta did.

    I agree with the guy who said this was about Raheem Morris, Terry Fontenot and co. trying to make sure they get to keep their job if the team doesn't perform. Now if they fail they will say "don't worry Penix is our future and if you replace us whoever comes in won't have the same game plan we do and he will fail and be a wasted pick."
    Should've hired Belichik. I'm not in love with Belichik but he would've been better than this. Also, Belichik and McDaniels did a hell of a job running 2 tight end sets with Hernandez and Gronk. Instead of Hernandez and Gronk imagine having Pitts and Bowers. That still wouldn't have been my first choice but it would've been a heck of a lot better than this and it would've definitely been must watch football with a future first year hall of famer at the helm.

  • @cornfilledscreamer614
    @cornfilledscreamer614 Před měsícem

    I'm kind of on the fence with this.
    I will say this, though. Look back over the last 2 years. The Falcons have used Mariotta, Ridder & Beer guy. All 3 really have NO business even being in the NFL. They're really that bad.
    So now - as bizarre as it sounds, the Falcons really have one of the best QB scenarios in the league. Sure - it cost a lot of money, but the Falcons are only on the hook with the Cousins' contract for 2 years.
    Also - there was really no "game changing" defensive player in the draft.
    Here's the flip side. Both Cousins AND Penix will probably get hurt this coming season. By about Game 12, they'll have to go out and find another QB, and don't be too surprised if it's somebody like Ozzie Albies from the Braves. This is called "Falcon Luck". Falcon fans have endured this since 1966, and we're completely used to it.
    Finally, Blank should have sold this team after 28-3. It blew his mind, the entire organization's minds, as well as the fans. He really needs to get out of it...
