    Micheal Penix was the second best quarterback in this draft. The falcons were paying attention.

  • @g-love6507
    Who says you can't have two good quarterbacks ? I think the Falcons made the right move in getting Penix ! Good quarterbacks are the most valuable position in football, there's always another team that'll be willing to bargain for a QB ...It's a good insurance policy on numerous levels !

    Major upgrade in the quarterback position. Salute Terry and Raheem
  • @g.a.b.4914
    Penix is going to play this year. For whatever reason(s), could be injury-related or ineffectiveness on Cousins' part, but mark my words, Penix will play

    What everyone always fails to mention is that Kirk Cousins was averaging 291.4 passing yards a game. With a completion rate of 104. In 8 games, he already had 2331 passing yards, 18 TDs, and 5 ints before he went down to injury. Just in case you don't understand the math, Tua was second with 272 passing yards a game and finished the season with 4624 passing yard (which led the league) and 29 Tds Jared Golf was 2nd with 269.1 passing yards a game ending the season with 4575 passing yards and 30 TDs. Golf ended up signing a contact worth 212 million. Dak Prescott led the league with 36 TDs Kirk Cousins with 291.4 yard pet game was on pace to lead the league with 4,954 passing yards and TDs with 38 which would have won him MVP and 1st Team All Pro. The Falcons are running the same offensive system that Cousins has been in his whole career. That's why Cousins wanted to came to Atl because he already knew the system and that's why Atlanta gave Cousins 180mil because everyone knows Kirk Cousins woukd have won MVP who doesn't want an League MVP on their Roster. And to think he is going to fail in a system that he already knows and had MVP numbers in is just crazy talk.

  • @gsp3428
    We all know the big advantage Cousins has over Pennix isnt talent, its experience, its about 12 years of reading 10 NFL defenses and putting HOF numbers.
  • @benvicks
    Let’s go have a kickass season that schedule looks rough 😮‍💨
  • @jameshanson5588
