I can’t believe the falcons are getting so much animosity for solidifying the most crucial position on any football team

Not just football, in all of team sports.. It's crazy that they make sure they don't have to worry about that position for 15 years at least and people are mad at them, it's crazy

If they fully believed in either, the would have used the resources spent on the other to build their supporting cast

C.Cousins & M.Penix were too good to pass on. Simple.

Bro that pic of you and Cousins is timeless. That expression on your face kills me every time 😂😂😂

RG3, the light has come on. Most of us can’t imagine the weight that lands on a rookie who earns national attention playing lights out as QB in the NFL while becoming a millionaire at age 22. I’d be dead or in jail so glad that RG3 is in a good place. Congrats.

Love your POP collection. We have around 530 ourselves. Great video

Look at it this way. The Falcons may well have gone from the WORST QB situation to the BEST QB situation in the NFL.

Exactly

I still say it's karma, Who would've benefited the most from this tampering situation? Falcons ain't dumb, cause Penix counters being held hostage for a new deal in yr 3 of his contract. Cousins is a offseason genius, but suddenly he doesn't know what he can and can't say, and do lol, ok. Just my thoughts.

Same thought I was having very smart move by the falcons

Thanks RG, I'm thinking it was a smart move because Kirk will be Kirk but he's too old to not insure the team with a qb they obviously really liked, especially after what we've been going through the last 5 years. If Kirk was 30, Penix wouldn't have gotten picked imo. I can't think of a better mentor in Cousins for Penix to sit and really learn this NFL offense and defensive schemes to succeed when he does get his start.

I think Penix gets to start some games during his year 2 season, likely after the bye week year 2, he becomes the starter. May start 1 or two games prior to then, depending on if Kirk is successful enough to lock the falcons into a playoff spot early enough to be able to let some of the starters only play minimal snaps the last week or two before the post season.

I believe when he gets in, he’ll truly avenge us letting Brett Favre go to soon, I think Michael Penix is going to be a lot like Favre on the field.

I’m more curious about RG4’s draft.

This reminds me of the Donavan McNabb draft.

RG3 take my advice and get a better microphone because it sounds like you're talking at the end of the hallway.

Businesses do it all the time. For like every role from CEO to janitor.

If Kurt Cousins makes the ProBowl his first 2 years, there is no way the Falcons just cut him after 2 years

That’s the best case scenario for Kirk WIN! But the inevitable Kirk is aging no matter if he wins, go to Pro Bowl or even Super Bowl which helps Kirk and the Falcons! Father Time is not on his side as a NFL QB. That’s why I believe Penix will win the job come year 3

penix will be the next trey lance I can already see it

the only thing they almost have in common is melanin. because Penix has ample amounts of experience and ran a pure passing concept. Lance had a lot of short comings that would only get better with time and he was never given play time partially by good starters then also injury. so they literally cannot be any less similar.

Or the Falcons could use both qb’s like the Saints did with Brees and Hill. There are some situations where a qb with running skills can shake up a defense and Cousins ain’t that guy.

No RG3 it was a mistake they had to fix!! Cousins isn’t a winner at all, and that’s why they drafted MPenix!!!!

here's the thing RG3. And you, of all people should know this, is that the future is now. There is no such thing as 3 years down the road or 5 years down or 10 years down. Coaches and GMs get fired after a few years if they don't produce. You take an 8th pick that won't help your team for the next 2-3 years? No. You should be taking guys that can make an immediate impact TODAY. Not 3 years from now. Because if they lose and miss the playoffs two years straight after signing Cousins, they will both lose their jobs.

It was a bad pick. The owner was even asking, WTF?

I agree...it all looks rational. But only until you look at the heavy opportunity cost that came with the Penix pick. In Fontenot's own admission, the Falcons get nothing out of their first round pick for two years. They gave up getting Dallas Turner, an edge rusher who would have started day 1, and who has a huge upside, on one of the worst pass rushing teams in the NFL. In today's NFL, you know what happens if you don't pressure the opponent's QB? You lose.

As a long time Falcons fan I am sick of LOSING...Penix does nothing to help us win now. He will be pacing the sideline with a clipboard hoping Cousins gets hurt. As for our other choices, Raheem Morris is an awful hire. A 21-38 record as a head coach. We already fired him once. It's like Marion Campbell all over again. I was there when we took Nobis in 66 and I don't have many seasons left. And to waste the next 2 or 3 on pure speculation? ARTHUR BLANK WHAT WERE YOU THINKING????
