I can't keep listening to these idiots. "If they trade Kirk after one year they are going to bit hit with dead cap." THEY AREN'T TRADING HIM AFTER ONE YEAR AND NO ONE HAS INDICATED THAT.

@derpenaz5895 20 күн бұрын

Well normally you sit the rookie behind your franchise QB you’re about to replace. You don’t go get both the same year then you’re just wasting money. You want to rookie to sit at the end of the Vet’s contract so you arnt doubling up. Also for Penix specifically he is a lot older than the other rookies. He is 24 league average is 21-22 years old for a rookie QB. So sitting him is a lot more of a gamble due to age. Just all and all a very weird not normal situation.

@@mynumberoneguy2125 are the Falcons dumb for paying $60mm this year and wrapping up $30mm next year? Yes. Are they doing a good thing by having an almost pro ready backup behind an older coming off injury qb (that they paid way too much money for). Also yes.

So would you rather have kirk cousins? Or Sam darnold or brissett? What's the difference with the ATL situation versus the MIN and NE? The difference is that ATL has a legit top 10 qb while their prospect develops. Not a journeyman qb.

@nathanthompson8666 20 күн бұрын

They are throwing away the massive salary cap benefit of drafting a top prospective rookie QB by spending all of their savings on Kirk Cousins. If they think that highly of Penix they should have gotten a much cheaper backup like Minshew, Fields, etc.

I dont get how people still complain about that draft pick. Im a Vikings' fan and dont think this is a bad draft pick. What if Kirk gets injured early in the season? Not like if it didnt happen. I just feel very vad for Kirk that gets to a new team and already gets screwed in some way. The Falcons dont have the same culture as the VIkings and I feel bad for him.

How many Cj strouds come into the league and succeed the first season !!!

Really Rich is hard to understand what is hard to understand is why the Jets don’t draft a qb this year Cousins fa move responds to the following. 2017 81 Rookie contract WR. Rb. Te. Of unknown quality. Penix draft is a similar qb to cousin undeveloped. Cousins maybe out by year 3. And responds to 68 and 66. Relevancy is as important as anything in the NFL. ATL cost. In comparison to other teams is low cost when looking at the room.

@gsp3428 20 күн бұрын

Atlanta could have drafted odunze, who most likely will be a star, they could have traded down and gotten multiple stud defensive players even the two best corners in the draft. Could have helped so much but instead got someone who maybe 3 or 4 years down the road might play well and help a totally different team.

This aint no resource league, its "what have you done for me lately" league. WINS. Morris has been a head coach before with a bad qb. Dont matter if you are "rebuilding" we have seen coaches get fired after 1 season. Division not the best, they could literally get to the playoffs then hand the baton off to Penix if he shows he is that guy. Should they have paid Kirk all that money? No. But the playoffs will make you forget all of this. He is also 36 coming off achilles.

Falcons have had some poor cap situations and poor coaching. Hopefully both are improved this year. We have been a historically reactive instead of proactive team, which has been our folly. The Penix pick is both reactive to the post Matt Ryan QB vaccuum and proactive to the potential decline/end of Kirk's tenure.

We will talk about this pick for decades to come if Penix becomes a top 5 QB for the next 10+yrs. We will also talk about it for years to come if he doesn't or if Kirk plays OK this season. This is a win now league, and the Failclowns looked at everyone in the building, and the league, and point blank said "We are punting this season." Crazy, just crazy.

Tray Lance cost SF three (3) 1st round picks (and their 3rd overall) but Penix burns just one 1st rounder to cheaply play behind a gimpy 35+ year old who is not expected to take the #1 reps in practice, and gets valuable experience. Yet, SF burns 3 1sts on Tray Lance who had little college experience and only eye brows are raised? In contrast; invest a single pick in a great QB prospect and go bat crap crazy! The protect the cap/owner's money for a team not one player away from the Superbowl us ABSURD!

@gsp3428 20 күн бұрын

You never know how far a team is away, they could easily be one player away with the addition of Cousins, some teams completely change from year to year. They wasted a top 10 pick on a bench warmer for the next few years most likely or they threw away 100 million of Blanks money in the garbage.

I hear you if it’s a good pick it’s a good pick. The cap is subjective it’s a choice to take advantage of rookie deals, great if you can but it’s not a guarantee in anything. Drafting A defensive player isn’t a guarantee, literally atl was in Cap hell for 3 yrs and was competitive … there isn’t a formula there are experts saying What they would do but we don’t know. Listen They got their future and present, but the “ideal “ Way but this how they want to play it .. If they win. I don’t wanna hear nothing. If they lose .. they been losing lol. It’s the constant criticizing for me. Let these ppl live lol
