I want Michael Penix to win a Super Bowl for our Falcons so everyone that talked trash, including myself about this pick would have to eat their words. And if he does win the Falcons a Super Bowl, he’ll be one of the greatest draft picks in Georgia professional sports history.

[@KrichProductions]

Would be crazyyyy if he did that

[@bullybully]

I feel like he will.. before kirk especially bc a mobile qb is needed in todays games not all the time like lamar but like mahomes who can run the ball when needed

Kirk Cousins contract is really a 2 year 90 million. If the Falcons want to move on from Kirk they will just have to pay him 10-12 million. Which will most likely happen.

[@KrichProductions]

I think theres a $35 million dollar cap hit if the move off of him no?

[@Slimdulla87]

@@KrichProductions ya Dead Cap hit but he's only guaranteed the last 10 mil on the 3rd year. If you read the contract they Falcons will be able to walk away from Kirk at the end of the 2nd year with little to no hit towards the falcons.

[@LamarBragg]

Why do people not learn. Let's take 2 of the flagship programs. The Steelers and the Packers, also the Patriots. The Packers planned for Brett's retirement by drafting Arodge, and Arodge retirement by picking Jordan love. The Steelers had no one to replace Ben, the Patriots have no one to replace Tom . I think all teams should do this year 10 get your guys replacement let him sit a few years and learn, you see what the young guy good at and build around him. 80 million for 3 years when all your weapons have less than 3 years in the league, they will be at their primes when he takes over. Fantastic pick in my opinion,more teams need to do this, give your guy time to grow .

I remember enough to know that the last time the Falcons drafted a defensive player with the 8th overall pick was DeAngelo Hall Virginia Tech but on the offense Running Back Bijan Robinson and Drake London WR who both were the 8th overall picks too but the last time Falcons drafted a lefty QB was Michael Vick Virginia Tech University in the 2001 NFL Draft a 1st Round 1st overall pick don't forget

[@arbiterrr1179]

Vick was crazy on the ground he just needed to develop a little more as a passer I remember a game he threw it like 40 yards down the field while throwing on the run sucks he ruined his own Career

Ayeee appreciate it!

[@ajevans1422]

The evasiveness was in part of Penix being more of a scrambling QB at Indiana and not only has he developed as a thrower but is more disciplined in his runs unlike a Jayden Daniels. Development is needed but assuming they win, they can try and forecast who will be on that 2026 team and fans will be happy if Atlanta ends the third longest active playoff drought.

[@gary-pietz4147]

It's amazing how some people are so impatient but then again those people usually end up screwing things up in life

[@kingslayer3796]

The reason they took Penix even though they're in position to win the NFC South this year, is because now the Falcons will be winning the NFC South for the next DECADE. Penix comes in and is immediately the best young QB in the division by a mile. Not to mention he is surrounded by the best young offensive weapons in the entire division. Atlanta now has 2 years to continue building the defense, keep the o-line a strength, and extend the offensive skill players and then make use of the final 3 years of Penix's rookie scale contract.

[@Cory-zn5mq]

Pennix gonna be a star his only problem was injuries

[@mt_baldwin]

Since people keep comparing this to the Packers and Rodgers/Love. How many Super Bowls did GB win with both Rodgers and Love on the roster? 0, goose egg, none. How about with both Favre and Rodgers? Again zip, 0, nada. As a Packers fan the ugly truth of the "Green Bay model" for QBs is that it isn't about winning Super Bowls, it's made for stability and team that good but not great, to ensure the team never gets terrible- but at the cost of greatness, at the cost of going all-in to win a SB. One of the biggest issues why GB didn't win a SB in Rodgers last 3 years in GB was come playoff time GB's one dimensional passing offense with only Davante Adams got shut down completely and our forever suspect secondary got chewed up. Tee Higgins was still on the board when they drafted Love and so were a bunch of soon to be pro bowl secondary players.

"Could this be the best pocket passer in the entire draft?" Yes he is and it wasn't even close? Did you research the prospects or not? Only competition for him would have been Caleb Williams who is MUCH better out of the pocket/extending plays.

[@SportsBossMan]

Oh, Penix belongs in the NFL. Just not on the Falcons! This selection at #8 is bad on so many levels. The obvious: why did you pay $100 million GUARANTEED to Kirk Cousins then? If you were going to do something like this you don't sign Cousins. Obviously, they didn't plan ahead. This is the same group of executives that talked Arthur Blank out of hiring Bill Belichick to save their jobs - only the greatest head coach in NFL history. They went all-in on signing Cousins, and now they're hedging their bets. What if he gets hurt? Well, you sign a capable backup QB in the off season. Did they do that? No. So you used up a highly valuable 8th pick in the Draft to sign a guy you HOPE doesn't play a down for you. Nice. Because if Cousins gets hurt, you're NOT gonna win anything with Penix at QB. In the future? Maybe. But now, no chance. Even though Penix is talented - he's still a rookie. And you've flushed 100 million down the toilet. All offense players went in the 1st 7 picks, so you had the cream of the crop of defensive players in the entire college ranks. Did you shore up the defense with a great player for Cousins? Nope. Their pass rush was HORRENDOUS. So now you have to try and fill it with a bunch of lesser-talented players, which means those picks could have been used to shore up other needs. Think about this Falcons fans: the next time they give up 35 points because their defense isn't good enough, will you be happy you have Penix as your backup QB - who isn't even playing? The fans should be pissed. The owner should be pissed because he'll probably die before the Falcons win a Super Bowl. The Vikings are pissed, because by signing Cousins to such a mammoth contract, Minnesota couldn't re-sign him. Michael Penix should be pissed. He's not gonna play (barring a serious injury to Cousins again) until he's at LEAST 27 years old - if not later. Kirk Cousins is an excellent QB. But even excellent QBs need a defense! Is Michael Penix gonna rush the passer? If he is, great pick! Even the great John Elway didn't win championships until Denver made the defense top-notch. Without the #8 pick being spent on a defensive player, the chance of them being top-notch are slim and none. And this crap that they were following the Jordan Love model of the Green Bay Packers is bogus too. Love was 21 and inexperienced AND he was a low first round pick. Penix is 24, very experienced as far as games played, and was a HIGH draft pick in the first round. Not the same at all. The sad thing is Michael Penix is ready and able to be an NFL QB right now. Instead, he's gotta sit around for 2 or 3 years when he could be out there learning to become a great player. The Atlanta Falcons decision is worse than them not just kicking a field goal to beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl. With morons like these guys in charge, they'll NEVER get back there. NEVER.

[@JefferyT1991]

Falcons should’ve just drafted penix and ignored Cousins altogether

[@feartheancient]

I don’t disagree with them taking a qb cause if Kirk gets hurt they need a good backup and he’s the most nfl ready QBs ready to step in whenever Kirk gets hurt. However taking him that early is wild and they should’ve waited and seen if he fell.

[@Qb13CjMahomes]

Kirk might have another really bad injury. He’s getting old. I feel like they should let penix start because Kirk is trash in playoffs in my opinion

[@brentmichael4770]

We really have to stop drafting back up QBs in the 1st round! And making a big deal about these bumbs! That would be like someone in the early 2000s getting excited because Spurgon Win was drafted by their team. Every year, we take 5 QBs and 5 teams go for these jobbers in round 1. It's a wasted pick and sets the team back years. Only 2 of these years QBs will be good at best, and JJ, Penix, and Nix are not one of them. The vikings are the only ones that make some sense because they are desperate. This will be the last year of this nonsense after Broncos Falcons and Vikings show the league how stupid this is.

Penix may end up being okay in the NFL sitting for a few years behind Cousins, but he just doesn't have what it takes to be an elite level QB like Dak. He is too injury prone for one, but he lacks the intangibles and ability to oversee the entire field. I think he is way better than JJ McCarthy, but he will be lucky if he reaches half of Dak's level when it comes time for him to start.

@@tylerd1297 most QBs are not polished when they come into the league, sure. But if you can’t recognize what Dak brings to the table then you clearly just don’t know ball.

You just listen to podcasters who don’t actually watch the Cowboys games talking bad about Dak and believe them because it’s the “cool” thing to do. Learn ball kid.

@@BigKeckison Bro you're projecting hardcore 🤮 I disagree that Dak is elite because that's my opinion. Dak started day 1 because Romo got injured. Prospect wise he was pretty good and was overlooked because of the dui and not standing out in any particular area. I like Dak, have since he was in college. Yet every year year more talent is added and we get the same results 🤷‍♀️ like why is Dak the qb you're gonna harp on if we're using the term elite? Dak is average and at times above average until proven otherwise. The money is why he's so controversial.
