I agree with a lot of these posters that it could have come sooner but I also think that Raheem is a player's guy and he is trying to build something over the course of the next four or five years that's special and you don't do that by benching premium free agents as soon as they hit a rough patch. I think it was good that he was patient, I would have loved to see this before the bye week so that Penix could be ready for the Chargers But I also think it's realistic in the real world people don't fire the person that was their best employee two weeks ago because they had a couple bad weeks. If people were more empathetic and treated it more like their own life I think they would all see it that way too. But I'm glad it happened when it did and there's still time
That was Senile Arthur Blank Biden.....He choose to waste 100mill on a washed up QB with a serious injury.....We could have got Penix in the 1st place got some free agents .... Pittsburgh and Baltimore are 2 examples of owners who aren't in the mind frame of someone with Alzheimer's....They have healthy brains😅😅😅
Unfortunately, football is a “what have you done for me lately” type of sport. With that being said Kirk was given much more time than most would’ve had. In return, he gave us too many turnovers that killed winnable games, poor decisions, horrible sacks, and a noticeable lack of zip on throws that ALL NFL qb’s need to be able to make. If he continues to start him, he runs the risk of losing the team because they know more than any of us that Michael is a better athlete. That’s season ending for almost any team no matter the record. And even if we somehow made it to the playoffs with Kirk, there was no chance of us winning with him playing like he did against a 2-11 team and barely scrapping by. Ritter honestly played better than Kirk. That’s unacceptable.
Love this guy’s positivity. This 5 game stretch has been hard to watch. Just really bad all the way around. We had to si something to light a fire under our asses and this is it.
Falcons need to win all 3 remaining games and for the bucs to lose one. Falcons own the tiebreaker if they finish with identical records. Playoffs aren’t out of the question but the bucs have been the playing well lately.
It would s been better if we didn’t spend as much time get him. Yeah it’s gonna hit our cap but I’m pretty sure he gets most of his guaranteed on the front end so there are ways to minimize the cap hit
And only 1 mill contract....Our CEO and GM are part of Dumb and Dumber.. Pittsburgh CEO GM Professor X on X-Men....Arthur blank reminds me of Biden A touch of Alzheimer's with Senile on the side
Who are these players that said Penix is the best QB on the team? If they're not offensive starters then who cares what they say. Also the GM has missed on most of his draft picks and his free agent signings.
You have to remember every player sees Penix everday at practice , I think the offence will come alive and smoke everybody they play . Our playoff picture looks much better. Cousins has looked terrible these last 5 games.
@@TheBeggies95 Any quarterback that has the athletic capability of avoiding a sack and extending a play so your receivers have more time to get open is substantially better than 2024 Kirk Cousins who literally cant move enough to avoid pressure, and run effective play action consistently. Today's NFL you gotta be able to move around in and out of that pocket. Frankly i'd rather have Ridder than present Kirk.... I know thats a hot take... but Defenses have figured out Kirk Cousins which is why hes been so bad the past 5 games.
Falcon fans seem to be perennially over confident. Don’t forget yes Cousins is in a terrible slump but he is a very smart and seasoned quarterback. Expecting a college player to step right onto the field and win the last three games not saying it’s impossible but very unlikely. Caleb Williams was supposed to be Jesus second coming and look at his struggles even after 15 games!! Yes Penix can sling it but there is a lot more to winning nfl games that that. He might fall into a win against the Giants but no way are the Commanders losing to Penix’s second game in the NFL lol.
@@thejohnhendDude has the most turnovers in the NFL...The most fumbles at 13 and the most ints at 16....Ummm 🤔🤔🤔 it's not rocket science you'll put anybody in there even a 3rd string QB ....You cant win games with a turnover magnet 🧲🧲🧲...It's not feelings about Kirk it's the raw data and stats...
I can't believe they made the change this late. IMHO, I'd have made it 2 or 3 games prior to now. It should be interesting to see how this plays out. I guarantee that if Cousins leaves, he's gonna land in either San Francisco, Minnesota, or Washington. There's almost no way he retires yet. Most athletes aren't ready to play flawlessly the 1st year following that injury. Cousins will bounce back next season, wait n see!!
Oh... and he didn't play AT ALL during the preseason or had any meaningful snaps, but he's supposed to come in 14 games in and do something? I'm confused
I'm not Kirk leads the league in turnovers with 16ints and 13 fumbles... He's #1 in both ints and fumbles 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅....If you want a fumble a game and at least 1int every game then Kirk is your man
Great move, would have been better to put Penix in last week vs raiders. Kurt is over the hill and washed. Trade Kurt to the Niners. They are dumb enough to trade for him. Falcons need to draft two young QB's to back up Penix. I prefer Rourke and Dart and then Henigan. Stop investing in old, worn out QB's!!
Niners are dumb enough to draft Kurt, says the Falcons fan who’s team signed Kurt to a 180 million 4 year contract when they knew they were going to use their first round pick on Penix 😂
Way too late for this change. It is over. Complete incompetence from the head coach. He has a horrible losing record for a reason. I promise you this they will never win anything with him. No way on earth Cousins should have been allowed to stay in all these weeks. Morris has allowed this season to go straight down the drain. Should have at least tried Penix a few series. Very very unsmart from Morris.
As a Falcons fan... this makes NO SENSE. Am I supposed to feel good that my GM gave $180 Million to an overrated, old azz QB coming off of an injury, then spent a first round draft pick on a QB in case the first QB didn't work... Never mind the other GAPING holes in this team and all the other wasted draft picks ( Kyle Pitts)... Guess what we have now? A rookie QB on a garbage team with very little cap space and a head coach who CLEARLY can't coach: Raheem Morris has been a part of FIVE 4 game losing streaks and FOUR 5 game losing streaks. What am I supposed to be optimistic about?
How u a falcons fan and dont kno that Penix wasn’t a Guaranteed in the draft. The beat thrower of the football was there for the taken. The money is gone. Get over it. We got a QB for the future. With young talent to grow with. Kirk was the problem bc he’s limited at what he can do. not the coach. U just want to cry about something.
@@ro229time3Meanwhile Pittsburgh got Russell for only 1 milly lol😅😅😅...Our owner has a senile mindset of Joe Biden lost and confused...I wish we could switch ownership
@@ro229time3We could have had lots of talent for the future but now money tied up in an old washed up QB yet again....We need linebackers CBs and edge rushers...Cap hell yet again....Stupid is as stupid does
Sorry, but this is a moronic take right in step w our moronic GM. You just paid $62m for 14 games? Could have gotten Russell Wilson or Fields at a fraction of the cost and achieved the same thing. Not only did you over pay for an injured 36 year old QB but added on an extra $250k fine for tampering. They didn’t even let a market be set before jumping on Cousins. Your take might make sense if there were no cap but it is a poor use of limited resources. Classic Falcons. Fontenot is a joke.
Exactly, anybody tryna spin this as good is lying to themselves. No way you ever accept a no trade clause from a near 40 year old qb coming off a major injury.
@ro229time3 exactly, screw the money deal for now 💯 👏🏽 It was wise to have a backup plan just in case Cousins screwed up, now we have a 1st round Drafted rookie QB to fill in ...
