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.
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.
You can do both. IF ATL wouldn't have taken Pennix there season would be over because Cousins tanked off during the season. Plus Pennix has 15 years ahead of him.
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.
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.
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
ITs easy to do hindsight 20/20 vision. FA is like 2 months before the draft. The QBs slid in this draft and that wasn't expected. Pennix slipped in their eyes so they took him. IF you don't have cousins then you have NO QB going into the draft and you're taken the risk of missing out on a QB.
@@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.
@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.
Cousins was signed because the falcons wasn't sure if they'll be able to draft their QB. So, people say why. Well, Kirk decision came when they had no starting QB
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.
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.
@ 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.
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!!🤷🏿♂️
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.

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

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

It's hard to win in Atlanta with so many distractions.
Facts 💯Joe Johnson said that on a Podcast
The two contracts together is the going price for a young semi proven quarterback. It was a win, win.,
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

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

@@kleard2 It's not your money. Stop crying 😭😭😭
Stop acting childish.
Brady Quinn looks like a fanny bandit in the thumbnail
Kirk is still hurt.
Falcons only mistake was guaranteeing Cousins $90 million. But signing a veteran for now and getting lucky with draft breakdown.
They should’ve signed Belichick, in that division and conference he could’ve at least made the playoffs in my opinion.
Belichick wanted to be the GM and head coach
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.
4 games sooner
🤣🤣
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?

They paid big money for the antique.,😭😭😭😭😭
Ha Ha savage
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
Raiders trade up if falcons need a QB in the draft. Why does no one not see that
Cousin's was sent to Atlanta to stop our show this smells like Tampa

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

@@Adam_Guidryif you don’t know what you’re talking about it’s ok.
I always thought that Kirk Cousins was garbage and overrated. He's definitely overpaid for sure.

Should of saved that $100 mill and signed Sam Darnold instead smh
Atlanta the future is now!😅😊

Their 4 games too late!😢
They’re not Their
