I'd bet it was that week later they realized what his Achilles did to his throwing ability. He probably got in the building, they saw that first duck and soiled their pantaloons

[@jayklink851]

A lot of fans were puzzled by Atlanta selecting Penix. And I get it, but on the other hand, Cousins does have a history of getting hurt in the latter half of the season. On an unrelated note, I've never seen anything in football that was so aesthetically pleasing, as watching Penix throw a 65 yard dime to a receiver that was facing double coverage.

@TrillVilla5 It's more the fact that he took a huge gamble playing 2 years under a franchise tag and then hitting free agency at the right time. It was like driving and hitting every green light, but that ride is over, and he knows it. He won't be able to score the kind of money he has, so he either bows out, and maybe he can do the same thing as a former player talking head or he sticks around and accepts back up QB money.

His agent outperforms Kirk significantly.

[@cratedog64]

The NFL should do away with agents period. Have a base salary for rookies up to 3 years, then a 5-tiered payout system; tier 1 for practice squad, tier 2 for back-up players, tier 3 for starters, tier 4 for being in top 10 of their position, and tier 5 for being the best at their position. The tiers are based on a yearly stat and can change from year to year. This would level out the playing field for every team and make it more competitive for every team; no more of teams stockpiling top players and paying them outrageous amounts of money, and lower ticket prices as well!

[@BallisLifeChannel]

My question is: why does Kirk have an Ohio State hoodie? He went to Michigan State and has played for the Redskins, Vikings, and Falcons, none of which have any association with Ohio.

I'm gonna take a different perspective. I'd say he done well for himself even though he hasn't won anything. Dude was a 4th round pick and was destined to be a career backup.

[@jamesbroomfield7799]

Look at both Kirk Cousins and Aaron Rodgers, they're not playing the same as they used to prior to the Achilles injuries and I believe a lot of it is not just the Achilles injury itself I think a lot of it's the mental part. They don't want to strain their lower portion of their body too hard when throwing cuz they're afraid they're going to tear or rupture their Achilles or MCL or ACL because you see all the non-contact injuries happening in the NFL and I believe a lot of it is mental after recovering from the injuries they don't want to re-injure themselves and I know this by experience after having my leg shattered when I was 15 years old, they put the titanium rod and screws in my leg to fix it and I was on crutches for like 3 or 4 months and then when I got off crutches my leg just didn't really feel the same and my doctor told me not to favor that leg to run and jump on it just like I normally would but subconsciously I would baby the leg if I jumped over like a small little staircase or jumped off the stairs or jumped over something I would subconsciously land all my weight on my left leg and I did that for years not really trying to do it it was just safer to me in my mind cuz I didn't want to break my leg or injure my leg that I had surgery on because after the surgery my leg still feels like weird my knee feels numb still because when I had to cut my knee openly you're cutting nerves and things like that. But it still felt like my knee or leg was never fully healed and I blame that on myself because I wasn't going full pressure on my leg like I should have I bet if I would have did it with my doctor told me to do my leg would feel a lot better it wouldn't have felt like it was still injured and I believe Rogers and Kirk Cousins kind of have that same issue going on in the mental part of the recovery

So I guess the Falcons did draft him for a reason

62 million this year, that clip board isn’t that heavy

[@HonestUAWElectrician]

Excited for MPJ. Watched him when he was at Indiana and liked him, despite being an MSU fan (you can Nelson Muntz me).

[@maikeru4208]

We won't start Trey Lance cause he hasn't shown us nothing to put him in, Look at his preseason games where he played more than Rush. Rush yet still got the backup job cause Rush kept us in playoff looks while Dak was injured, we know what we have with Rush. Lance shouldn't have gotten hurt and then come back and not show people anything to put him in the game during the seasons but here and there. It's really not that hard to figure it out.....

And he will be acting out the famous line: “ laughing all the way to the bank.”

Kirk's agent is the MVP

[@TxCen5432]

Cousins is #21 on the all-time passing yards list, 51 yards behind Dan Fouts

[@BabyBluChef]

I don’t understand the appeal of Kirk. If he had a better playoff win loss ratio I’d get it why he’s paid what he is but still. He’s been paid like an all pro SB contender but he just isn’t that. He’s closer to Carr than Lamar Jackson

[@Skolphers]

Nobody is going to trade for cousins. He has been awful. They’ll wait for them to release him so they don’t have to take on a stupid contract.

[@speedfiend925]

Tangentially related to this video please do a complete analysis for CJ Stroud as his performance this year is not as good as last year. 😁

[@speedfiend925]

I think it is pretty obvious that Cousins has fallen off a cliff and unlikely to recover so going to Penix makes all the sense in the world. Especially after you pointed out that the next 3 teams they face have strong pass defenses. Perfect time to find out what they got with Penix.

I’m glad they’re benching Kirk. Minnesota fan here, glad he’s someone else’s issue now. Finally, somebody else can waste money on him! 🎉

[@SkaterJay789]

ugh I hate that Kirk could not put it together, had so much hope for him was so excited. This is the most Atlanta thing tho to happen of course

[@tonymoore6622]

I absolutely agree with the decision, except, it should have been at the least last week.

[@hood_TheJoker]

dude Washington and Minnesota tried to warn Atlanta... 👀

"Go on, take the money and run!"
