FAN REACTIONS TO THE FALCONS TAKING MICHAEL PENIX JR. AT NO.8

Im so confused why ATL took Penix. I think he’s a good QB with a lot of upside, but ATL? It just makes 0 sense why they would take him. I wish nothing but the best of luck for both sides.

Atlanta fans that understand football are happy about penix. You dont pass up a generational player like that, kirk or no kirk. You have a QB1 as backup for any situation, kirk gets hurt? An arguably stronger QB fills his shoes, he will most definitely see the field by 2025 and everyone should be worried if you’re playing against him. And to the ATL fans crying about it, when he turns your entire program around dont act like you’ve been on his side since day 1.

1. The Longest Yard jerseys 2. 28-3 lead in Super Bowl 3. Sign Cousins to a big contract 4. Draft QB with 8th overall pick when you told Alexa to draft a cornerback 😂😂😂

[@TheJaker5]

Atlanta drafted another left handed black QB named Michael in the first round. Plus he’s like 24 years old. Beyond that, they signed Cousins for big bucks. Either they know Kirk will never be the same (which is nonsensical considering they gave him a HUGE guaranteed bag) or they have a clairvoyant on staff that told them Penix will be a superstar in ATL minus the dog fighting scandal. Penix might be pushing 30 by the time he even starts his first NFL game. If he was young it wouldve made slightly more sense, but he’s already a grown man. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I dunno we’ll see. It’s fascinating regardless
