I’m a big Penix fan so I don’t think the falcons made a terrible pick. If you like a qb and he’s on the board and your starting QB isn’t a potential probowler, take the QB.

My question is when did they know they really like Penix? Surely it was before they gave cousins that contract?

I will say Cousins with Robinson, London, Odunze, and Pitts is something I’m glad we aren’t dealing with in 2024

After watching the title game against a real defense, not a PAC-12 defense, Penix looked dime-a-dozen mediocre, to me. Pressured & inaccurate.

But let's say he does turn into a top 10 NFL starter one day, and between Cousins & Penix, the Falcons are set for the next 10 years at QB. Fine.

The Falcons still would be wasting Penix's valuable window of having a roster-friendly cheap rookie contract years after Cousin eats up 3-to-4 of those years, just about the time teams start 2nd contract talks with franchise rookie QBs. Just seems dumb, to me.
