LaVar Arrington Says That Cousins Benching Shows That The Falcons Were Right to Draft Penix

[@colesmith193]

The original sin is signing Cousins for that money. Why is this hard for people to understand? Choose a path, draft a top 10 QB or sign an expensive vet. Not both.

[@jah_hern81]

Because there is no guarantee the QB you like falls to you in the draft... and you can't go back in time to not sign Kirk once you land your QB in the draft.

[@bigdeboatl23]

It's not that big of a contract if you look at it.

[@Rosquilliam2]

That Kirk Cousins pay day seems like it was an investment in an education for Penix. In house tutoring came at a cost lol

[@terrylinellc5550]

Basically 😂💯

[@natekrueger7922]

The two contracts together is the going price for a young semi proven quarterback. It was a win, win.,

[@kaii231]

It was a, solid plan. I think they thought cousins would be good at least one more year. Bottom line, they're 7-7 vying for the playoffs. Penix has been able to watch for almost an entire season. He's ready to step in and give it a, go.

💯

[@timdyer7696]

The Falcons wanted insurance behind Kirk Cousins in case he got injured again or was ineffective. Now we're going to see how good of a decision it was to draft Michael Penix Jr.

[@jkadigital6574]

I said it all along if drafting a Qb that high they could have got 3 starters for the money they paid KIRK Wr Rush end and LB

[@1justleland]

8:13 this is my stand point but don’t go throwing those billacheck hot takes out there like he wasn’t in the hot seat in New England for bad drafting 😩🤦🏾‍♂️😂😂😂 y’all kill me with these one sided story’s or hot take for click bait

[@BeaterCar]

Kirk took Falcons for a ride and back

[@abeal-bureni2988]

It's hard to win in Atlanta with so many distractions.

[@greatone9102]

Facts 💯Joe Johnson said that on a Podcast

[@kleard2]

If the Falcons were right to draft Penix, then why sign Cousins to a massive contract? That's just a waste of money.

[@samuelsandate9804]

Maybe because they wanted Michael Penix to learn from a veteran QB before throwing him up there. It doesn't take a scientist to figure this out. Bozo.

[@brandonwilson4740]

​​@@samuelsandate9804100 million dollar teacher? You really had the nerve to call someone stupid after making this moronic comment? They could have signed Flacco for 20 million to do the same thing. At least he's won a superbowl.

[@kleard2]

@samuelsandate9804 You don't need to pay a 36 year old QB $100 million coming off an achilles injury to mentor a young QB. Bozo. It's a waste of resources. That money could've gotten the Falcons solid starters on defense.

[@samuelsandate9804]

@@kleard2 It's not your money. Stop crying 😭😭😭

[@kleard2]

Stop acting childish.

[@jamesabc372]

They paid big money for the antique.,😭😭😭😭😭

[@curtistillman4898]

The Alanta Falcons got a lemon with Kirk Cousin . I think they should have moved on from him a little sooner with the back up quarterback.

[@jamesabc372]

4 games sooner

[@greatone9102]

🤣🤣

[@jamesabc372]

Kirk is still hurt.

[@larrysims7235]

Brady Quinn looks like a fanny bandit in the thumbnail

[@Stephen_231]

They should’ve signed Belichick, in that division and conference he could’ve at least made the playoffs in my opinion.

[@WW3_Soon]

Belichick wanted to be the GM and head coach

[@klohr311]

Car thing is worst analogy. Lol. The last time a team signed fa qb with big contract and draft a top 10 qb was the bear(Mitch triubsky). Both hc and gm will be gone in a few yr.

[@Keith_No_Sweat]

I don't understand what's so hard he's not performing so why keep him on the team? Are we supposed to wait a certain length of time?

[@ChildofIsrael]

I always thought that Kirk Cousins was garbage and overrated. He's definitely overpaid for sure.

[@nickkorea5850]

The joke is the contract. If ATL didn't have enough faith not to draft a QB in the first round then why give him a huge contract

[@Adam_Guidry]

I don’t agree because the Falcons are one game behind in the division with 3 weeks to go in the season. There’s 3 winnable games, Giants, Commanders, and Panthers. I’m not a fan of Kirk Cousins but let’s not act like he has a plethora of weapons to throw to.

[@CANUDIGGIT]

He did when he swept TB and threw for over 500 yards

[@princecynebaldEl3164]

Kirk Cousins has one of the most stacked offenses in the NFL and you say he doesn't have a plethora of weapons? lmao

[@Adam_Guidry]

@ huh!? They basically have the same roster as last year. The only person who jumps off the screen when I watch is Bijan Robinson. They’re in the weakest division in the NFC and went 7-10 last year. They ranked 26th in points per game last year. Stop it.

[@NorrisGOD]

@@Adam_Guidryif you don’t know what you’re talking about it’s ok.

[@Keith_No_Sweat]

Cousin's was sent to Atlanta to stop our show this smells like Tampa

[@hillzsantoro5179]

Raiders trade up if falcons need a QB in the draft. Why does no one not see that

[@princecynebaldEl3164]

Nothing Arrington said made any sense.

[@terrylinellc5550]

Cousins looked bad against a league tied worse team in the league in the Raiders... barely got the win because of Cousins struggles... Change was needed!!🤷🏿‍♂️

[@juniorbeckham2928]

Should of saved that $100 mill and signed Sam Darnold instead smh

[@jamesabc372]

Atlanta the future is now!😅😊

[@josephbrandon9996]

Look at the Vikings and the quarterback that's playing with great record. This guy played for several teams and looked like trash,so did Baker Mayfield.

[@jamesabc372]

Their 4 games too late!😢

[@WW3_Soon]

They’re not Their
