Thank you for saying this. I have been on YT all day saying im glad the Falcons are in this position because they literally could’ve had Lamar last year
I feel the same. By spending that money on Cousins they seemed to be saying they were all in to try and win now. They should have tried to address other issues. But they just didn't want some of the lower teams to get a QB so they took him to prevent him from being picked elsewhere. Short-sighted.
Penix is a better QB than Ridder. That's why they drafted him. Cousins is also coming off of a serious injury. He can re-injure and Penix is a better backup. Makes a lot of sense.
So if Cousins goes out gets hurt week 1 and Penix has a CJ Stroud type of year will you still be saying the Falcons blew it?? People think it’s oh so easy to move up and get the player you want lol. Name a team in the top 5 they could have traded picks with and what else would it cost them.
@@packers12to80 What? We just spent the 10th overall pick last year at RT and he showed a lot of promise. Your comment is low quality and irrelevant to whether there is a hole, it’s just an unnecessary attack. If they want to say there is a hole at C, that’s a different story, there may well be.
@@chadwickerman The OL ranked 16th in the league according to PFF, and that’s with a QB who holds the ball entirely too long. The Bears OL is avg not bad. Burrow lead a bad OL to the Super Bowl in his 2nd year. So what are we really talking about here
Lombardi is one of those old head NFL guys who only ever got a job because he knew somebody. No one should ever really take any of his opinions seriously.
Shocker… Michael Lombardi who has “formerly” before a lot of his resume, no longer is an NFL executive doesn’t plan ahead very well. We likely wouldn’t even care about his opinion if it weren’t for his last name. It’s not like the Falcons have 6 more picks at minimum this draft to address those other issues. Cousins’ no trade clause I’m pretty sure can be lifted if Cousins chooses it to be.
@@hawkhitter5365 The packers had a pass rush and wasn't picking at 8. Rodgers went at 28 and was projected to be the first pick. Penix went 8th he was projected for the 2nd round big difference.
It’s 90 mil over the next 2 years they can essentially cut him after that and just face a 10 mil dollar penalty. Still a dumb pick over someone who could actually contribute, right now.
I like this show...but y'all tripping on this one. Maybe because you weren't expecting it... But once things calm down, maybe you'll see the genius of this move.
Also love how he bashes guys for having a different opinion than his and not building SB winning teams when he hasn't either. He was on scouting staff for one team that went to the SB. Didn't win. But they were there. He was a gm for 5 months of Cleveland and they showed him the door. So, who's he kidding?
Falcons like “and you have 1 naturally intact Achilles tendon”. The odds both he and Rodgers tear them again this season is very high. Look what happened to Durant in GSW & Brooklyn. He has never been as good.
PAT U gotta really look at how solid the top 12+ draft picks slotted in perfectly. AND THEN ATL stood on the dinner table and dropped a Massive DEUCE 💩💩💩
The 49ers won 2 SBs B2B with BOTH Montana & Young getting snaps... & Montana was younger & better & an actual winner & was the GOAT QB before Brady. It's NOT an insane idea. ATL have no allegiance to Kirk. They are paying him to QB & aren't obligated to employ him for 4yrs
Man, he sounds like an idiot, being realistic Kirk is a good quarterback who is 36 years old so please pass me up with that. Oh my gosh stuff get over it. We have a quarterback for them now and for the future so wrap up the conversation.
Lombo 🤦🏻♂️ how first of all the word “poor” doesn’t correlate to Kirk Cousins he got $84 mil and only has one playoff win in six seasons with the Vikings, a team six months removed from an NFC Championship Game. Getting $100 mil with a torn ACL he better never speak a word about the Falcons.

The Kirk Cousins deal wasn't $90 million. Not even the guaranteed money. The deal was for 4 years, $180 million, $100 million guaranteed.
