40 minutes of Albert Breer sign me tf up
Pure football talk for 40 minutes I love it
As usual, he is one of the smartest commentators. It is always a joy to listen to him.
He took all his takes from Simms & others - who know what they are talking about, having played, he is just a hack.
Albert is the best!
The Falcons stuff is all a huge over reaction. It’s a conservative choice, and maybe not a super smart one,but not completely unfathomable.
So many teams needed two or more good QBs last year, Cousins is a vet recovering from an injury that often has long term impact, they might lose a future pick for tampering, and they’ve struggled to replace top line QBs before.
So they reduce their chances of success this year (but were they going to be contenders anyway?) to bet on wrapping up a position for the next decade.
Would I have done it? Probably not (esp given Penix’s age) but I can see why someone might want to
Yes, it's been so overblown. You might not agree with the strategy, but it's not the worst pick. I guarantee there will be top-10 picks that do not pan out as well as the Penix pick.
If I am an Atlanta Falcons fan and Cousins throws 3 picks in week 4 I'm smart enough to understand that he is the clear starter and has thrown nearly 300 TD's in his career. Despite being new in the city has equity has a very productive starting QB in the NFL. This idea that fans would be calling for Penix I think is insane.
Thats only one side of the story. He is also a tomato after 7pm
luckily you're a genius
I find it weird that sports talkers think NFL teams should take “the fans” and their opinions into consideration where the starting QB is concerned. I would HOPE such fickle and short term thinking would not influence management. But then again, these same sports yakkers don’t understand why a team would draft a highly skilled QB to back up a 36 y.o. vet QB who is coming off a season ending injury and surgery.
You're one of the few logical fans of pretty much anything
The year 3 you have to make a decision is so stupid. You have 4 years guaranteed and a fifth option plus franchise tag. It is just dumb management over paying QBs
It's not overpaying if you have the money to spend. As a Falcons fan I'd rather see them have 2 quality QBs as opposed to the mediocrity that I've had to watch the last 2 years. Penix will get on the field when he's supposed to
There's no justifying this move by Atlanta. They invested WAY too much cap and draft capital into one position. Now you still have holes in your team that could have been filled with that #8 pick(or multiple pix having traded down). You either get Cousins and build around him in the draft OR you get Penix and use the cap space(saved by not acquiring Cousins) for other players on your team. On top of all that, you've fractured team chemistry by not being truthful with your starting qb.
If Penix is good look for Cousins to be playing in Dallas next year.
So he can choke in the playoffs just like Dak does
@@bigmike4962 yep, he will just cost less.
I'm not 100% taking for granted Cousins will be as good as before, maybe @ 1 pm. They had to have a QB and signed Cousins. Then acquired Pennix when they didn't have to draft one. He can learn behind a real pro and play as needed. Good luck to both.
Cousins has always just chased the money. Not feeling sorry for him that the Falcons drafted a QB to groom. Heck, Cousins, although can put up some stats during the regular season, has done jack come playoffs, wouldn't want him on my team. Oh and Dallas, does Cousins remind you of anyone? Last name starts with a "D"? Good luck with that.
Uhhhh no- think you’ve got your facts mixed up. Washington drafted him in 4th round, when they already drafted a qb 2nd overall (that’s an unwritten rule and total screwing). Earned starting job, played the entire rookie contract which was crap money. Washington had every chance to sign him to a contract he deserved after playing rookie contract, then tagging him! Cousins didn’t chase money, he took less, bet on himself and took less years for guaranteed money. Frankly, if anything, he got screwed as a free agent signing, then team drafting a qb in first round! At least he gets 100 million.
He has gotten 400 mil guaranteed over his career, for 1 playoff win. He should give half that money to McVay for the unreal hype he has gotten
@@kellmerWF52not only is that incorrect, the original post claims cousins “chased” money. He’s never been the highest paid, he’s taken less money and less years for guarantees. Your 400 million is just false. He made 180 mil in 6 years with the Vikings, 100 million guaranteed with the falcons, and whatever he made with Washington (maybe 30 million for 5 years?)
albert breer goes everywhere
Agree, and Breer won the Mocks last year (2023)...
40 minutes of Albert and rich is the gift we all needed.
I've been hearing too much Amon-Ra shade. Maybe ppl are still sleeping on him. Check last year's stats; he was literally a top 2-3 receiver. More production than Jefferson, Chase, and every other receiver not named Hill or Lamb. Don't get me wrong, J.J. is phenomenal, but Amon-Ra is right up there with the best.
Think about how much the 49ers gave up for a rookie they just about gave away for free.
Competition breed success
Tyjae Spears is just different man, I'm trying to tell you. If he were RB1 last year, he would've broke 1500yds. I'd be happy with 10-7 (as long as we beat the Texans at least once, lol) Titan Up!
What about Garrett Wilson Mr rich eisen😂
I don’t get why everyone doesn’t cheat? Like nothing bad ever happens. You can be the pats and considered the greatest of all time or the astros and will only be remembered as champions and great. People only care during the moment and then forget. Everyone should be doing it
Did he just say the jets are the biggest contender to KC? LOVE Breer but you gotta be kidding me
I’m getting fed up with the whole QB on a rookie deal obsession.
Only ONE QB since Russ as a Seahawk in 2013 has won a SB on a rookie contract: Mahomes. Who will probably go down as the best QB next to Tom Brady ever.
A few teams have made Super Bowls with QB on rookie deals (49ers, Eagles, Rams) over these years, but ultimately got bested by a better QB.
The goal shouldn’t be take advantage of a QB on his rookie contract, the goal should be get the best QB possible for your franchise. And the more options you have, the better your chances are. That’s why I love the Falcons decision to take Penix.
Yea football fans have become GM / number cruncher experts and it's so boring. And they usually have the rules mixed up
Anything else Albert?
Who cares if he’s 24? QB’s are playing until late 30’s. That’s what 16 years ish of quality qb play? Who cares at that point, if Penix works out and I think he will. I think he’ll end up being the 2nd best qb in this class.
Stop talking about Michael Penix. It’s making me move to other channels.
I’m sorry but I’m done with the media tryna spin the falcons pick. They signed cousins to get them outta the qb hell they were in, you take the 8th pick and take someone who can help now. Not waste it on a qb that will not play, and if Kirk works Penix won’t play til he’s 27/28. If Kirk fails you eat a ton of dead cap and limit building around Penix
Thank you for being one of the few sane ones! It’s either a huge waste of money or a wasted first round pick.
Cousins being such a diva that he didn't wanna play some place where they've got a competent backup is wild af. I've got no problem with the Falcons decision, the NFL is the only sport where one position(QB) decides whether you've got a chance at a title or not
I'm not a Falcons fan. But I'd stop with the doesn't make sense. Falcons have been in QB hell that have not raken advantage of their fantastic skill players. There is no guarantee that Cousins will be ready. See Aaron Rodgers and Jets. Your season can change in an instant without a quality QB.
Henson sucked at playing the game of football though
9 career at bats in baseball with 1 hit
1 game started in the pros
11 career completions with 98 career yards.
Hensons mom must have taken Sally Field’s approach in Forest Gump to make sure her baby boy made the team
OMG!!These people act like the Falcons insulted their mothers. And I love most that Rich Eisen whining the most as fan of team who followed Rich Eisen's idea and crapped the bed because of it. I think all of the media is but hurt because no one leaked them the story before hand, so we are all going to keep crapping on it. That way other teams that think about doing this next year will be scared to keep ideas that aren't like ours to themselves.
Ya can state all day that the deflating isnt a big deal. But theres a reason why theres a regulated number
zip it.
Not the best situation, but you are getting paid millions to be the QB so Kirk will be the QB until he isn't.
😊
Fudge Stephen NBA commentator, not necessary to act like a mad man, yelling & screaming! Cut it out Steve!
Re Deflate-Gate. Whether anyone considers it irrelevant - and science has shown it doesn’t make that big of a difference - the fact that Brady knowingly broke the rules, with intent, means that *HE* believed it helped. Knowingly breaking the law/rules is wrong, regardless of whether you benefit from it.
7 rings lmaoo 6 if you don’t count “deflategate still the most rings of all time
wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha
How do you bring up 2 sport athlete prospects from 2000/2001 and not mention the best one? Joe Mauer was a top 5 QB prospect and almost went to Florida state. Instead became the number 1 pick in the mlb draft and had a HOF career
Yeah that's what he said jeezus trice blah blah blah
Rookie contract makes sense of course. But check the winners of SBs and see that very few ever win it anyway. Better to have a good QB no matter the $ (almost).
Eisen you are too caught up, trying to push his age to "almost 27" when he has 1-2 years sitting behind cousins (guarantees). How is that 27 years old? You know you've lost the arguement when you are plain lying.
so bored with Dak talk, and the Cowboys, pointless
Stfu about this rookie QB salary cap bs. It's simply irrelevant if your organization is successful at drafting and developing talent. Only matters when you have to sign free agents because you missed in the draft.
how about this: arthur blank wanted kirk then forced the gm and the coach to sign the qb that they didnt want. SO, ok screw u blank, we will take the guy we want and we will rationalize the pick to blank.
Jesus Christ is the King of Glory! Our living hope. Our only hope. No religion needed. Just faith, faith plus nothing. Don't put your trust in man. "In God we trust"
We are in the last days. Evil/sin is running rampant. We are not sinners because we sin, we sin because we are sinners. Man is the most destructive creature on the planet.
God/Jesus Christ/Holy Spirit offers us the free gift of God - eternal life - to know him. Believe (have faith) and be saved today. Chaos is right around the corner. Trust in Christ alone the only hope of salvation. The only name by which a man shall be saved.
I had to turn off of the roast because I found it so fake and unfunny.
uggggh stop talking about deflategate its so boring
