What do yall think about the situation in Atlanta with Cousins getting the big contract and then they use their 1st round on a prospect who (if healthy) has big upside. How do you see them working through that if cousins struggles or in general what’s the plan long term (how long will he sit)

@@Badsicklnerdbut I don’t hate the pick Kirk has a few good years left and he can sit behind Kirk and learn the offense for a few seasons. Their team is so young too with London Bjian Pitts so when Kirk decides to step away Penix will slide right to a good situation. I don’t think they’ll put Kirk on a short leash I think it’s a bigger gap than a Wilson vs fields situation. It’ll take an entire season of awful play from cousins before they shift to Penix IMO. My guess is cousins will have around 2 full seasons before they move on maybe more with enough playoff success.

Yeah I could see that. I still think it was odd to use the #8 on him when they could have traded back and probably still got Penix.. I do agree though that two years behind cousins, learning the offense, could be a good plan. I do think that in the second year though if cousins struggles-especially like 10 games in, we could see Penix. The price tag is the biggest help for cousins.

@@Badsicklnerdbut no I hear ya when I say I don’t hate the pick im more or less just saying I think it can work out for them. I think the organization has had an incredible offseason they’ve shocked me even in the past few days with some of these moves. The trade for JUDON who’s an animal then signing Justin Simmons. They’ve quickly become in 1 offseason a pretty legit contender.
