If they passed on Cousins and missed out on Penix then they'd have more issues.

As a Falcon fan what im hearing from the national media and all the fans of other teams is that its a bad pick because we paid Cousins. Okay please remember that we havent had solid QB play since 2021 with Ryan it that was below avg for him. We had to deal with Mariota, Ridder and Heinicke at QB. So in Free agency ( which comes b4 the draft) you're telling me to gorget the past 3 seasons and not go get the best free agent QB because we have our eye on a guy in the draft which is six wks away? No go get you guy in Free Agency. If Cousins does what we hope him to do we will not be in the top 10 again next yr or the yr after which is where most high rated QBs are taken. Not to mention the tampering allegations , hell, we may not have a 1st next yr. Last point. Next yrs QB class has been called weak already. What QB would be better than Penix next year? JMO

Sherms bail money finally cleared escrow 😂😂😂

Sherm still drunk😂

That's a great pick for the Falcons from a longevity standpoint

Welcome back Richard, God bless!

I agree with Keyshawn penix is the real deal. Let him sit behind cousins for a year or 2 and then let him rip. Just like the old days when qbs sat for a year or 2

The elephant in the room, which none of these analysts have hardly addressed, is this: Cousins isn’t worth $100M over two years.

terry said he was telling arthur how they were tryna move back into the first round

the QB position is much more valuable than any other position

Good Morning Welcome Back Richard 🎉

If Kurt is healthy and wins 10 games the falcons won’t be able to pick a qb in the top 10 then have to leverage the bank later

When it's a PERFECT WORLD I'll let you know, miss you big homie, welcome back to the SHOW!

Losing your job before it even officially start is insane work 😂

I missed Sherm!! Hell yeah

I appreciate Fox for letting Richard Sherman come back and not just firing him like ESPN probably would have.

Guys like Micah and Draymond should do entire segments when guys like Richard get in trouble because they’d do it to them .

Good love by the eagles . The Aaron rogers , Jordan Iove angle comes to mind

Sherman buzzed like a 🐝

Penix is just Luxury Insurance

Thank you Key!

Watch Cousins have a set back w the Achilles and Penix save the day

Next year hopefully they’ll draft a few more qbs- you can never have too many.

When did Richard make bond?

I think everyone assumes they wanted to draft him at 8 when they didn't. They wanted to draft him late in the early 2nd round. Meaning trade down draft a DE then trade back up and draft Penix that was the plan. Nobody thought the market for Penix was going to take off like that. Nobody did or planned on it. Because of his injury history and thwy didn't think he was mobile enough. Then he threw at the combine.snd everybody said ohh damn." Then his medicals turned out to be all Green, meaning he was super good. Everybody said ohh damn again." Then he ran at his pro day and ran a 4.5 4.6 40 and had a 32-inch vertical, and folks said here we go. All of a sudden, his stock went threw the damn roof. Everybody wanted a private workout. You can't deny talent. Man, Penix is the only QB since Mahones at TexTech to throw back to back seasons of 45k passing yards. The man led his team to a National Title game. It is what it is. 4 damn teams called the Falcons trying to trade up to get Penix....All of that, we we're going to trade back up to get him in the late first early 2nd round, thought went right out the window. Nobody thought that many QBs were going that early in the 1st nobody! So lets cut the crap. They Signed Cousins thinking that Penix woukd be available late 1st early second. They had to change plans and draft him at 8. That's how it goes sometimes. The Falcons are the talk of sports right now....good bad or indifferent....publicity is publicity 😂 if nobody is talking about you. it's cause you are not making waves. The Falcons are making Big Waves....and they got the best thrower in the draft. Like it or not, he's one of the better young QBs in the League now. And he's a Damn Dirty Bird.

Keyshawn stop hollering!

Penix did deserve the Heisman. You don't give it to a player with 3 loses over a player with none who also has the stats. That was sad

Atleast Sherm admitted to getting it..

The elephant in the room was that the falcons DID NOT expect him to be there! Once it was their turn, they had a huge decision to make!

As a Bears fan, Thank you Atlanta for letting Rome slide to us :)

Penix Jr 🏹 A+ pick! Brilliant With 5 defensive dawgs & A stud RB & WR throughout the draft 🔥

Keep Sherman and PLEASE fire Keyshawn!! “He can either be a great QB or bad”… no shit captain obvious!!

Key just be arguing points nobody’s making. Just arguing to argue lol

Look what happened to Rodgers.INJURED for the year 1st game 1st quarter 1st 5 minutes. Now you have Cousins coming off same injury. This move looks better every minute. When the management met Penix, they knew this is our future. We will pay the price, take the criticism, but we have the future taken care of.

I like the pick by Atlanta..so many avg to below avg qb's in this league.If you think you got yo guy take him.

Good to see Sherm!

Keyshawn is right on point!

Richard was right. A good pick on the wrong team.

Ppl gotta stop saying the falcons could have waited to pick him. No they couldn't have. Penix was the best left and multiple teams where eyeing him

Key the type of guy to say maybe I’ll come to work tomorrow maybe I won’t dude so indecisive and won’t make any definitive stance unless it boneheaded

This draft process ain’t been fair to Penix.

Penix don't need to sit for 2 years. Maybe sit him for the first half of his first season at the longest.

Why does Richard look high on the thumbnail? Lol

Welcome back Richard

Richard “Im drunk now” Sherman

Keshawn is the only person on the media who’s talking 💯 facts. Idk what drugs these analysis is on but they need to put it down.

How does everyone forget that the defense was the only reason the Falcons were even in games last season??? Our defense will be just fine. The money spent and the draft pick was smart thinking.

Good luck with Cousins, his success came because of JJ and O'Connell, before that it was Diggs and a younger Thielen, that Rome miss might come back to sting ATL. Cousins needs studs, hopefully we can see some real power from London, Pitts, and Mooney.

It’s worst for Penix than Atlanta. He needs to play right away. History shows that older QBs out of college who have to sit have ZERO SUCCESS!!! Strange stat I’ve been hearing go around but it’s not good

Sherman goes at Lamar the same way he went after his ex Wife

great pick by Terry...

They still didn't get a CB or Safety

Let me throw this out instead of signing Cousins they could have gotten multiple players to build a team and drafted him

curt cousins is a great back up

You are all confused! It’s not about the money! Great pick and everyone assumes a mediocre Cousins is the man! He’d better come to camp ready to compete! Great pick!!!! Cousins isn’t leading them anywhere! Wake up Richard! Are you sure about Cousins?

Damn Penix. That's a lot of people that are going to be hitting you up for money. I know they might be family, but dude get ready for the requests.

Keyshawn was actually spittin facts for once ok ok🔥

If Ur Serious Abt Winning You Don't Sign Kirk Cousins !!!

Kirk: "I want to retire a Falcon" Penix: "Hold my Durag"

13:07 he keep saying that but the telecast immediately said Atlanta reached for the second pick and there was better DTs there

In my world, I think the Raiders were the perfect team for him. It’s just a feeling.

Obviously falcons wasn't being proactive it was all reactive starting with getting Kirk but phenix is a quality player.

Dallas turner was the best available for ATL to take . Turner would’ve made atl deadly .

rare segment where key spitting tbh

You have to have a trade partner to trade back. The defensive players in this draft were not transcending. No Micah Paraons, no Will Anderson, no effin Lawrence Taylor. I mean, one of these defensive players COULD end up being a world beater, but none of them showed anything on film that spoke to that level of a player. I watched film on the top three Edge guys, and the others and I didn’t see much of a difference. I love the Penix pick.

He was a Raheem pick. He wasn't there six months ago. Raheem was hired 2 months ago. And don't say OL when they already had a top OL.

Sherm basically said every team that’s done it before is cool but the falcons can’t do it 😂😂

Finally! Skip addressed it: Kirk just isn’t that good.

The problem is Michael penix is a generational talent. He's got the heart of Byron leftwich and the arm of Warren Moon. If you don't sign Kirk cousins and say you sign a Jacoby brissette and then you say well I'm going to pick him up at pick number 20 after I trade down what the hell happens if a team like Denver decided to pick him you'd be screwed. All it takes is one general manager to fall in Love with a quarterback and your plan is screwed. The Seahawks wanted to trade up but no one would trade with them they watched him all year and they knew who how damn good he was. This will not be debated anymore in 3 years. Atlanta knows there's going to be plenty of tackles and defensive ends and corners that are going to be available for the next couple years I don't think we're going to see another Michael penix because I've never seen one of these in college before. Name me one quarterback that took his team to an undefeated season and set his coach up for the best coaching job in college football. Washington was a good team but not a great team. It was Penix and Braelyn Trice both of which Atlanta got that made them a great team.

I agree with Keyshawn!

He was a Raheem pick. He wasn't there six months ago. Raheem was hired 2 months ago.

If the Falcons need Penix in the next 2-3 years the Gm should be fired if they dont need him GM should be fired

Penix was a very smart pick you forgot Kirk cousins is 37 and coming off of Achilles injury. Aaron Rogers did the same thing and he was injured the fourth play of last year. The jets season was over. I’m not saying they are the same but an Achilles isn’t a sprain ankle…🙏🏾 so having him there for now and or later is very smart look at the jets

Franchise quarterback are much harder to find than edge rushers or any other positions Everybody mad cause the falcons got him!

Penix had 2 ACL tears in 3 years witch makes him a liability but Kirk torn Achilles hmmm guess Atlanta is becoming the new Cleveland with their decision making

Penix is the best qb in the draft.the falcons need a qb to play for next 10 plus yrs.he wouldn't have been available later in draft raiders would have taken him or seahawks.Falcons did the correct thing take the best player when your time comes to pick

The falcons ruined everyone's projected mock drafts. And everyone's mad.

They didnt make the right decision. Sherm just said it, they had multiple holes on there team to fill🤔🤔🤔

Sherm is great

Ennis "Raker" Penix

Also, regarding Cousins feelings, I have yet to see a QB that is enthusiastic about his successor being drafted, so enjoy your 50MM Kirk. I’m GLAD you’re here, but I don’t care about your confusion here. Hey, use it as motivation to win a couple of playoff games.

Lol might not think key speaks sense most of the time but i agree with him on this.

I clicked just to see is really sherm 😂

If he turns out to be a star none of this Kirk Cousins shit matters

He's 24 and they are saying he could sit till he's 25 or 26. That's when most guys are signing their 2nd deal. It's unfair to Penix if you ask me.

Everyone slamming Richard Sherman needs to take a good long hard look in the mirror. Your lives are all so perfect? If we all knew what your skeletons are everyone would clown in a major way. Keep it pushin

Cousins will win u enough games that u cant pick high in the next draft. Take your QB in the top 10 while u can

Truth is My falcons did right period. Everybody really hating cuz we now have a great young team. Def stepped up it was jus Qb play holding us back. Plus people forget we have no back up n cousins waznt a forever qb move

Richard Sherman everytime he starts a sentence : ……….i …..ii…….

Hmmmmm sherm doesn’t know why penix wasn’t taken in the top 5 but wonders why the falcons choose him at 8… make it make sense folks!!!

Guys stop second guessing this pick.Its Mr.Blank decision to make this pick.end of story Mr.Blank's paper

KEY!!!! You need to fire your barber. ASAP!!!

How do they know Cousins won’t get injured

What QB was available after pick 20? The league is changing… the value of the QB in the draft is skyrocketed bc the price of a QB is so high.

Richard Sherman look drunk as hell

Well said Keyshawn💯

The Falcons aren’t one top defensive player away from the Super Bowl, but they are one top defensive player FURTHER away from a Super Bowl.

I think we could look back and think that was genius move could get a lot of value out of penix or cousins in a trade

What if cousin get hurt on the first snap, then what understanding is best thing in world. If so who gonna take over Hinek .so common since not common any more .and we don't own the team are paying the players. Opinions........don't pay,but it pays on media

Atlanta has enough to win the NFC south. The winner of the division played in the NFC championship. I like their chance win the division and be a top 10 offense. Another safety will be added somehow and i can see a 11-6 season.
