You have to hit on a top 10 pick, they should be year 1 starters, and if they aren't it's a quick way to get shite canned

So why are we already assuming Penix won’t be a hit any more than another player they could have picked? He doesn’t have to start year 1 to be a success at a position where QB’s play well into their mid to late 30’s. QB’s rarely have great rookie seasons and the Falcon’s strategically placed themselves in a position where they don’t need Penix to be brilliant year 1 and have affordable options for cutting or trading Cousins when Penix is ready.
