Charles Romes Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Atlanta is thinking to get the most out of these old QBs you need to light a fire under them, like Brady re-elevating over Jimmy G, Rodgers over Love, Favre over Rodgers etc. There certainly examples to show they are right.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I was never a big Flutie fan but did think he got screwed after signing with Bills, they then traded a1st round pick for Rob Johnson. Regardless of how Johnson worked out, doubt Flutie ever would have signed here if he knew that was teams intentions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 3 hours ago, Warcodered said: I mean Cousins is 35 drafting a rookie QB to develop behind him isn't the craziest plan to have. Yeah if you weren’t in a win now mode. They had a chance to get an other explosive piece to their offense and they picked a backup QB. Insane Even if you LOVE Penix, the logic is bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

co_springs_billsfan Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Don't get me wrong, I hate the pick. But if you put yourself in the Falcons position and you're in a division where in a given year 7-9 wins is enough to get the crown the Cousins/Penix moves are the ultimate win now and win later moves. Just kidding, I still am not buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Water Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 9 hours ago, Sierra Foothills said: His agent told ESPN that there is "frustration and confusion" over the pick. $282 million and counting... Wonder if he still drives an old beater minivan and lives in his mother-in-law's basement during the off season? https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/29/nfl-star-kirk-cousins-spends-summers-in-his-parents-basement.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Water Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 16 hours ago, Royale with Cheese said: All my Falcons friends are upset right now. Its a $65 million dollar dead cap hit in 2025. Surely you would want your 1st round, top 10 QB to start by his second year. I believe that $65M dead cap hit in 2025 includes his $27.5M fully-guaranteed salary. Sooo in theory, they could trade him next year, and "only" have $37.5M dead hit....a mere pittance more than the $31.1M dead cap the Bills swallowed on Diggs.

VW82 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 It was definitely the head scratcher moment of the draft, but even though Penix is old with a very checkered injury history he could become the best player in the draft, and so from that perspective I sort of get it. Falcons better be right to justify doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah possibly, Or maybe some other NFL team was also interested, but he felt was walking into a great spot in Buffalo with no real solid #1 QB on roster, so he signed here??
