[@lawtonnicholas3489]

Facts

[@wandameadows5736]

@shadow-elite2172 Penix is a Rookie who hasn't played a quarter of Regular Season NFL football yet. The real bad take is thinking Penix is gonna play in the NFL like he did in College against lesser competition. It takes time to see if a College QB can make that transition to the NFL & you shouldn't throw a Rookie into a Playoff Race. I've been watching Falcons Football for 35 Years & this move takes the cake. Also for those that think Penix is like Vick they obviously know nothing about Penix & his Injury History. You do not want Penix running or taking hits cause he's already had 2 major surgerys in his young career.

[@jyanharris7957]

I love how everyone is caping for Cousins and Russ never had a stretch like this last yr in Denver but his job status and MONEY was always the topic of discussion!

[@nwodeeplyrooted3222]

Well Rob, there is not a single Falcon fan out there that is against this decision. We’ve been asking for this call for weeks now

[@nwodeeplyrooted3222]

4:34 . Penix Jr is not losing to the Giants Rob lol., maybe the Falcons should wait until they play the lions or packers to throw him in.. cmon man, the Giants are the perfect game to throw in a QB mid season. As long as he doesn’t turn the ball over, it’s an easy win!

[@jamesabc372]

He may have a pick. Just don't fall apart! 😭 😭 😮😅😊​@@nwodeeplyrooted3222

[@michaelstrickland6108]

Also, Kirk basically didn’t win the Raiders game. It was arguably his worst game. It’s clear that Rob didn’t watch any of the last 5 games 🤣

[@cstylesturner]

These are terrible takes. The Falcons feel like the rookie is the better QB. As a result, they feel like they have a better chance of making it to the playoffs with him.

[@supermario8175]

Its just that simple

[@inspectah_ant]

Exactly! Kirk Cousins has thrown 1 TD and 9 picks in the last 5 games, Penix can’t possibly be any worse

[@himmie1]

They won. They changed qb after they won

[@pilot8948]

Penix is an investment that you intended to protect with bringing in Cousins for a hefty price tag. Meaning you drafted to build for the future. Starting him at this point now contradicts your strategy. A Qb's confidence is easy to scar. Hopefully, he does well.

[@antisocial9152]

Horrible takes from Rob come on guys you’re debating against the benching but it’s validating that as well 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@SupeDupeTV]

I’m a Commnders fan. And now I’m worried bout the falcons game. I wasn’t worried bout it if Kirko was starting.

[@davidcovington1046]

Same here

[@Mid.night1000rr]

Same Offense bro, 5 plays lol now running those same 5 plays with a rookie QB with no play action help haha

[@malikwilson7387]

​@@Mid.night1000rrDifferent Quarterback and Michael Penix is dual threat QB

[@brentjames4404]

​@@Mid.night1000rrNo so. The scope of the playbook was limited because of Cousins inability to move. He couldn't push the ball down the field because of his achilles and the play action was limited because of his achilles.

[@dirtiestbird2]

​@@Mid.night1000rrlol,........ Cousins is a statue,....... Penix can extend plays and is a lot more athletic with a rocket arm and accurate. You obviously have never seen him play.

[@Super.5th]

Rob with a terrible take as usual

[@00ghostcobra]

All of the Falcons remaining games are more winnable with Penix than they are with cousins right now..

[@jamesabc372]

The Commanders will have to recalibrate their game plan with penix jr and his receivers. I expect Pitts to have a rebirth!

[@alienoverlordsnow1786]

I disagree. If you want Cousins, you want the Falcons to lose. This is a perfect spot to play Penix, since the Giants are trying to lose in order to get the first pick in the 2025 draft. Even if the Falcons dont make the playoffs, these next three games will be the experience Penix needs to set him up to have a great season next year. Cousins is over the hill. It was a massive mistake to sign him and pay him so much. He was worth 10 million max. The Falcons need to do some firing over that debacle.

[@legitdragon6202]

Exactly, I don't understand why we suddenly need to bubble wrap the rookie for -3- weeks of experience.

[@jamesabc372]

I don't think another team was trying to get him.😮

[@MaxxTitan7]

Grumpy ole Rob coming in with the bad take 😂

[@einsteinsuc7078]

💯I just said the same thing

[@Maxrepfitgm]

How did he go from rocking the chain and a music video to being benched?

[@louiehaha]

I’m sorry Rob - love ya, but you are wrong on this one. If I am Atlanta, I want to get the rookie seasoned to NFL overages and speed. Taking on easy teams will help build his confidence with impressive and/or convincing wins, which is a great foundation going into the playoffs. This move could change the makeup and motivation for the team for the better. I think this is a very solid move by the ATL front office. - Not a Falcons Fan

[@rockjm9876543210]

This move is punting on the season. It's about next season and the future.

[@ernestbailey3270]

Its more about the coach and GM appeasing the population in Atlanta. They would rather have Pennix in and lose than having Cousins in and win.

[@ballerslife123]

Y’all can’t be watching the same falcons I am with this take. I’m a falcons fan who lives in Atlanta. It was the right move for sure!

[@pipipermusic]

Is this guy stupid, Kirk looks simply awful, did any of you two watch the game last week ?, the Raiders almost won this game . Kirk has no confidence in throwing the ball. I wanted Kirk to stay but come on dude . They gave him plenty of opportunities.

[@KClouisville]

I don't think anyone is denying Kirk has been unbelievably bad the past month and a half of or so....the thing he's asking is why now? There was talk going into that Denver game that Cousins might miss that game with injury and Penix could get the start....The Falcons elected not to do it and proceeded to watch Cousins be terrible all those weeks after....but then, after a win, with the playoffs still a possibility, they're just going to throw the rookie into the fire? It's a risky move.

[@dirtybirdvision]

@@KClouisvillethey won in spite of Kirk, you can’t even open up your playbook because he looks like he’s moving in sand. Every pass is low, or wide because he can’t use his legs to throw. They tried to give Kirk a chance to bounce back and he couldn’t. He takes bad sacks because he can’t move he is literally a hinderance at this point. We almost lost a game where we had 2 blocked punts, a safety and 2 picks. The team and staff has lost confidence in him and it’s obvious

[@darthbobo9445]

Long awaited, Thank you

[@massivedynamic2339]

Cousins is and always has been a garbage QB. If he was any good, the Vikings would have kept him.

[@Heb101922]

These two really need to catch up to what's happening in real time. Michael Penix Jr., is officially the starting Falcons QB and will be so for the next 10 plus years barring injury.

[@Supermed]

Bruh its the Giants, who better to start against. Kirk is not the future

[@renewd]

The Falcon have watched Penix all year long in practice, they know what they are doing.

[@Affirmativo]

I met Rob at Westfarms Mall in CT and he took his time to talk sports but I disagree.Its Penix time❤🖤

[@deewatt]

I agree with Rob's logic but the risk with this rookie is not the same. He's had so many reps in college.

[@blackurustrikes2328]

If you dont think Kirk can make you a serious title contender, why continue to play him. Its better for the development and morale of the Falcons to play Penix. Yes, getting and overpaying Cousins was a bad decision. But continuing to play him while dooming the team's chances of competing only worsens the effects of that bad decision.

[@Thefishingdisciple]

Now we see why Chris left the odd couple 😂😂😂 Rob just be talking….

[@wandameadows5736]

Rob the POINTS you made are actually good reasons for why Cousins shouldn't be benched at all because the Falcons & Cousins got really HOT & then Cousins had a couple bad Games & using the Logic you expressed here you wouldn't have thrown in the Towel on Cousins. The REAL PROBLEM HERE is the Falcons 4 Game Losing Streak WASN'T ALL ON COUSINS but the way Local Sports Media painted it is that Cousins was terrible for 4 straight Games & thats a bald face lie. In fact there was 1 game were Koo missed 3 out of 4 FGs & we lost to the Saints by 3 Points. There was a Game at the Broncos that was a crap show show on Offense & Defense & there was the Game at the Vikings were Kirk & the Falcons were playing well with a 21-28 score & the Falcons receiving a Kickoff that was fumbled that lead to a 21-35 Score that caused the Falcons to play desperation mode but they weren't beating the much better Vikings anyway. Then in Vegas against the Raiders the Falcons played extremely Conservative where Kirk only threw the Ball 17 times with a TD & a tipped ball for an INT vs 30+ Rushes & the Falcons also passed up several FG opportunities but they STILL WON. The reality is there's people that have Kirk Derangement Syndrome that threw fits during the 4 game skid after the Falcons started 6-3. This whole thing is a Clown Show & even the Falcons OC stated on 12/19/24, after the Kirk benching, that Kirk is the reason the Falcons are in a playoff race. It doesn't take a genius to see that none of this makes any sense.

[@michaelstrickland6108]

He clearly didn’t watch Kirk the last several games 🤣

[@Ironman79]

Yeah let’s keep the guy in that has 1TD and 9INTs in the last 5 games that we are 1-4 in. Kirk is not getting us to the playoffs, Rob 😒

[@iamricmathis]

These guys don't know what they are talking about!!! 😅😅😅 They are funny.

[@sterlynwoods8861]

Why is this a terrible thing Kirk is hurt and has thrown 9 picks in 5 games. What did he do against the Raiders they ran the ball more than 50% of the game.

[@lafan4801]

Regardless of Qb, Let’s call it like it is, if you can’t beat the giants rn, then you don’t deserve to be in the playoffs.

Adios Kelvin ? 🙏 Penix is ready. Watch…..

[@KountryBoi_24]

[@whiteheav]

They must have not seen Kirk play the last 5 games.

[@pilot8948]

Atlanta's media and fan base has zero loyalty, or patience, and they're completely oblivious to it. Their Franchise GM'S tend to overpay the wrong guy and panic themselves into poor decision making. The city will never be equivalent to a Pittsburgh, because their loyalty for any giving player, coach, or GM is on a weekly basis. Outside of the GA Bulldogs, no one is safe in the state. For any rebuttals, recall before this new era Braves team moved to the suburbs of Atlanta? You could get a ticket, beer, and food for around $50 on any given game day, while having a row of seats to yourself. A city of fairweather fans who don't deserve Penix. I hope he does well because the moment he has an "off" season. They'll turn on him.

[@ro229time3]

My guy we been going threw a rebuild since Matt left. The rebuild is now over. Nobody was getting any loyalty threw that. All falcons fan kno Penix is the guy. Are u a hater bc we have him.

[@Zikk0_o]

​@ro229time3 you're literally proving his point. We don't know 💩 about how he'll be yet, so saying "he's the guy" is too premature. People said the same thing about Ridder and turned on him immediately. IF Penix looks shaky against the Giants, the organization will be in deep trouble.

[@ro229time3]

@@Zikk0_ohe will be fine. They been hiding him bc he’s actually good. He can throw the INTs that kirk would have.

[@supermario8175]

Kirk Cousins is in the best position. At worst he's the highesr paid backup, but he'll be on another team next year. He did enough to start for another team. He'll be a stop gap guy but he will be highly paid

[@RonJP-pm7jp]

I think Rob tripping on this one. Mike should be able to beat the Giants and Panthers even if he’s not great.

[@dirtiestbird2]

Why would they wait to start him against Washington? Playing the Giants should be a good opportunity to play with the first team,,........ and extension from practice. Penix should have been playing 2 weeks ago.

[@tommylewis7558]

Rob Parker, please let the other guy talk. My God!

[@plug1connect]

Its actually a perfect situation.Giants arent that good.And if Pennix struggles they can always put Cousins in.

[@monolith2001]

Rob clearly has not watched the games. Kirk is making rookie mistakes, his arm is not what it use to be and under pressure he just freezes. He has been a turnover machine. We can do bad with a rookie who will make rookie mistakes, a rocket of an arm and athleticism that will open up all kinds of options. Kirk no longer provides us with the best chance to win.

[@vincente4570]

Last time I checked. Your team wouldn’t be where they at right now because of him. Think about it! Y’all actually got three of the biggest wins of the season including beating the 12-2 Eagles paaaaaa. So I guess yall better off punting on the season instead of trying to either win the division or stealing a playoff spot from the commanders? But ah ight you and Mr. Blank knows best I guess🤷🏿

[@truthseekerv1318]

It's probably not terrible for ticket sales.

[@playmajor]

Why is EVERYONE talking about the falcons now? Nobody said a peep when things were good couldn’t even get a segment

[@ktd522]

it's due to the Cousins benching

[@Cjhilly]

Rob u obviously dont watch any film 😭 Watching Cousins versus the Raiders gave me a migraine….

[@hedhunta52]

shut this off after he talked about the raiders game. clearly he did not even watch the game. 11 OF 17 and ANOTHER INT!!! They basically didn't even have a QB out there against the Raiders. They were a hail mary away from losing to the dirt cheap qb they sent away.

[@ogtre746]

Definitely not a playoff game against the Giants

[@Keith_No_Sweat]

And excuse me sir these are regular season games

[@sticksteves7499]

What? Geezus Rob, your take makes absolutely zero sense.

[@DaRealest908]

Horrible take. Penix can win vs giants. This benching should of happened earlier. Only reason to stay with kirk is financially reason

[@slowhand256]

Cousins is playing like a rookie, so we might as well play the rookie, at least he gets real game time for next year. Cousins is done!

[@alienoverlordsnow1786]

Spending a lot of cash on an old, worn out QB, is idiotic. I would trade Kurt if there are any suckers dumb enough to take him, and draft a backup for Penix with our second pick. I would select Dart, Rourke or Gabriel. I would also take Henigan with our 4th pick, or Daniels. We want young QB's with potential. I expect the niners to trade for kurt. San Fran is about as dumb as they come. They wasted their first 2024 pick on a third string reciever, when they could have got the best center in the draft!!

[@vincente4570]

Why draft a back up quarterback when you can steal one from the UFL?
