    The Falcons knew they were one backup QB away from a superbowl
  • “Its a great pick, just to make you feel better” Key Crazy😂
  • @sterlzz30
    Y’all understand Cousins contract is only guaranteed for 2 years right? Even Mahomes sat for a year.
  • @Garcea_linking
    As a Green Bay Packers fan developing a quarterback over a couple of years is not the worst idea ..good pick in my opinion.
  • @gmgmargala6882
    Drafting penix wasn’t bad it just didn’t make sense after signing a QB for 4 years.
  • Falcons passed on the one of the greatest NFL Coaches to sign a Coach with a losing record & then signed a 35 year old QB & then used there number 8 pick on a QB that won't play for 3-4 years & the Falcons wont even know if Penix is the answer until 2027-28.
  • @lucristianx
    Draft a 23 year old QB with two major injuries in his health history. While paying 180M With guarantees coming off an ACL. You don’t get to maximize the benefit of a rookie contract because of guarantees. 500 IQ Arthur Blank.
  • @Humphking
    I keep telling people Justin Fields cannot throw like Penix Jr., Fields have a cannon, but he's not accurate down field, Penix Jr. is the best thrower with accuracy down field since Matthew Stafford
  • @FattyAcids69
    Yep, I can understand why people are a little upset, but if Penix works out and becomes a star qb, then its a great pick. Letting a qb sit back and learn is the best way to do it
  • This was a very smart awesome move by the Atlanta Falcons in my personal opinion and this is coming from a Saints fan that wishes we were in the same QB situation that you all have now! The HECK WITH ANYONE AGAINST THIS MASTERFUL MOVE!! In todays NFL this is whats needed in order to find and be successful at the QB position PERIOD!!
  • @gigglefairies
    I'm not crazy about the pick, but I think people are forgetting that Atlanta tampered pretty bad to get Cousins over there and they're definitely losing at least one first round pick because of it. They're taking Penix because they don't think they will have a top 30 pick for a couple of years and they need to have a 2-3 year plan behind Cousins because of his age
  • @Marsonis2ya
    It takes Keyshawn 15 minutes to make a 15 sec point....
  • @Good2bking
    Bro I don’t understand how ppl think this is a bad pick. Cousin is 36 he got about 2 yrs left , and ATL probably won’t be picking this high again for a while. To me penix was the second best qb in this draft. He def wasn’t gonna be available in the 2nd round
  • @jamalford3280
    Kirk kind of gets to see what RGIII felt after Washington drafted him 😂 I’m sure RGIII was confused too
  • @eagles4eva05
    My mans was lighting up college football going all the way to national title game how was he not top 3 in the draft
  • @RichBandzMf
    The only reason it’s a confusing move is because of all the money they’re giving Kirk. But besides that, it’s a good pick
  • As a Falcons fan, I liked the move initially. Once I saw the run on QBs, I really understood. I wanted Dallas Turner at 8. & to trade back into the 1st for Mike Penix. He wouldnt have been there now in retrospect. For all the reasons Mike & Key said. Let him sit. Learn. Heal up. They'll get there defense together in the later rds. It was a good pick. Penix is a flat out BALLER!Can throw to every part of the field. Throw it 60+ flat foot. A leader. In 2 yrs(or less), he'll be our franchise guy
  • Skip says he doesn’t like Cousins cause his playoff record but he loves Lamar. Makes no sense
