Mr. Lombardi woke up and chose violence I see
He is MAD he’s not an NFL GM anymore.
He won 3 Superbowls... I think he's just allergic to stupid.
Bro could NOT stop yapping
Mr. Lombardi does not have a chill switch
Actually pumps me up
I love Lombardi calling Orlovsky out 😂
Orlavsky seemed a little rattled too
Yeah cuz Orlovsky has no clue what he’s talking about
Never does
@@Mattx0509xnot true. He does know how to run out of the back of the end zone. He was a pioneer.
the falcons said 'we feel we are better than 7-10 and that's why we are not gonna draft you any help Kirk to make a run..we will just about roll on for four years with no money for free agency cause we got you on a massive deal, stock up on middling draft picks hopefully around the #10-12 position for the next 4 years til our #8 draft pick has matured enough to give us another 4 years at the #10-12 position, fingers crossed that's our best case scenario - but we totally believe in you Kirk and remember we are waaaay better than 7-10'
Somebody posted "Spence Rattler is in play for Atlanta with their 43 2nd round pick for the post Penix era".
😂
Lmfao! I’m surprised they didn’t take Rattler with their first pick. That’s how dumb the falcons are
😂😂😂😂😂
@@chunglehunt2266they wanted to save him for the second I hear he was the 3rd best qb in this draft
Dude I love Lombardi's honesty calling everybody out 😂😂😂
Lombo was on FIIIIIIIRREEEEEEEE!!!!!!! 🔥
Heater
I guess, he’s on ESPN talking bout that dudes record because no one wants him as there GM.
Lombo came with the shovel burying everyone 😂
It was a masterpiece
Went to town! 😂
And how many championship teams has he built?? Mfer talking like he is leading a war room instead of spots on tv
@@lc0591 Ummm. He built three.
@@hawaiihouse2810 oh yes the great 2013 and 14 browns
Holy smokes. Lombardi just rolled in with a flamethrower and scorched everyone. 😂
Not far though with the Raiders at 13 literally maybe if Vikings wanted to get a little further ahead
Lombo's best appearance EVER! Why don't you tell us what you really think, Lombardi?
"You can only wear one Rolex" is just great life advice
I have 2 wrists, why can't I wear 2 Rolex?
Clearly this man has never met Ric Flair.
Technically you can wear as many as you can on both arms
@tennesseehusky apparently watch goes on the left wrist so idk
@@JoseRamirez-yh2llwatch goes on your opposite hand
I'm not a fan of Lombardi, but damn does he cook here.
Yeap
Not really
No he doesn’t….he sounds like a whiny Belichick fanboy that’s salty
@@JD-co1kche has 3 super bowls why tf would he be salty yal just be yappin 😂
@@llamarre4 because the Falcons didn’t hire him.
Greatest Lombardi interview of all time!
This will be shown at limbos hof induction
Why didn't they sign Wilson for 1 million if they knew they was going to pick Penix and speed the 100 million somewhere else.
How dare you use common sense
@@hughjazz17 Falcons front office just showed why the Falcons lose every year
Maybe because Wilson isn’t the QB he used to be and isn’t a great fit with Atlanta’s offense to begin with.
Okay... But are they REALLY ready to beat the 49ers come playoffs? Eagles? Nvm the best in the AFC, if they can even make the Superbowl and beat the best in their own division, nvm the best in their conference...
Are they ready to beat teams like the Chiefs? Ravens? @@d.b.cooper2174
IF they're gonna have a chance, it was almost certainly to have used the money they spent on Cousins, to beef up the roster in countless other areas over the next couple years, while Penix sits behind an experienced Superbowl winning, multi appearance QB until he's ready to start himself... have him sit behind a guy who you could have signed for DIRT cheap over spending SO much money to bring in Kirk...
ESPECIALLY when you're bringing in a 24 year old, who's been viewed as the second "most NFL ready" QB in the draft, behind the guy who went 1st overall...
If you weren't gonna make a Superbowl like this, it would have almost certainly needed to be using the 8th overall pick to help cousins win NOW... They aren't ready to win now with half the foot in the win now camp, and thinking half about winning in the future, when meanwhile, their fans just want SOMETHING to believe in... One way, or the other. This is a very puzzling move for this reason...
@@richarddavis4928I really agree with your OP here... It's a really good point... Heck, even if they offered him 2 mil, the Steelers were claiming publicly they weren't interested in bringing in a FA QB, until right before they did pull the plug and traded out Kenny Pickett shortly after he complained...
Either they needed to use this pick to help cousins win NOW, OR use them money they spent on Cousins in FA over the next couple seasons, to try and win while you have Penix Jr. on his rookie contract... Either or, but I don't see this "one foot in both camps" strategy working...
"I slept on it, and after thinking about it I sent an emoji"- A genius
Fartlovsky getting wrecked.
As deserved 2nd most disliked person who gets air time besides Drayton. JMAC is quickly approaching Fartlovsky territory
Danny Dumps
Lombardi the uncle at Thanksgiving that had a few to many drinks. Then starts speaking his mind 😂
Preach Mike! Lombardi 100% nailed this subject perfectly
Lambo said what we all think about Dan 🤣
on God 💯 lol
Bro may be 28 when he gets a chance to play🤣🤣
Which would be 3 years into Cousins' contract
If Kirk isn’t healthy and Penix starts, he might never lose that starting spot
The NFL Rookie contract is nice I would sit on the bench for that money.
I didn't even think of that 😂
Would have been cheaper to get Justin Fields 😂
It is so nice to see someone holding some of the analysts accountable. They say some of the dumbest things.
Lombardi just walked Dan Orlovsky like a dog 😂😂
I don’t even like Lombo but I enjoyed the hell out of this 😂
Why don’t you like him?
Clearly, it was because the Falcons didn't have a first round grade on a Running Back.
Savage. 🤣
This pick rocks!
Welcome to Atl, Penix!!!!
Perfect rookie for the perfect veteran, we no longer have bad qb's.
Let's go Falcons!!!!
😂 and still no pass rush
Let’s go Falcons!
@@tiamiyacampbell4820Yeah and your team is perfect 😂
The Bears gave away Justin Fields for nothing. Nobody’s that dumb!
Falcons: Hold my beer.
Justin hasn’t proven anything yet
lol…he wasn’t worth much….the rest of the league wanted him as a permanent clip board holder.
Dan Orlovsky isn’t making any sense
Dan knows about backing up a QB with a big contract and then taking over his job.
Well he ran out of the back of the end zone he's just very aware of anything
He’s so biased towards QB.
Not surprised.... he's a fool
He seems more like he's providing an explanation of what he thinks Atlanta's thinking was, but he's defending it as if he thinks it was the best option, which makes him look like an idiot.
Every clip I’ve seen of Dan Orlovski he has no clue what he’s talking about, why does he have a platform anyways
He says controversial takes so people follow him and he can grow his own brand. He thinks any attention is good attention.
@@j.gibble6162you both are talking about him so I guess it’s working.
You're acting like he said it was genius... All he said was I can kinda see the logic in their thinking.
Cuz he’s the only one that farts when live.
That's what I'm saying, this dude ran out of the endzone as a qb and now he can critique others lmao
It's so refreshing to hear somebody not worry about feelings...as a Falcon fan I feel like I wrote that take.
This is the single greatest segment to ever take place on Pat’s show
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Dan catching strays😂
It's the truth dude was a joke on the field and has absolutely awful takes
Not strays at all, Lombo kills him weekly because he's simply not a smart football guy.
😂😂😂
Props to Pat for knowing the trigger
Wasn’t strays that was firing squad lmao
Lombardi is a savage I love it 🤣 and he right about Dan🤣
I heard him out completely objectively and I can say without hesitation that Orlavsky was completely pulling that out of his ass as he went
And this kids is how a GM is basically fired thinking they are playing madden lol
Nah no human does this in madden. The cpu on the other hand is notorious for doing exactly this
Falcons always try to "rise up" just to be laid down lol god bless
It's like watching Orlovsky run out of the back of the EZ again xD.
Yesss. Thinking same! I'd love to see his defense of lombos take
Lambardi on this show with this take and Pat's reaction is friggin HILARIOUS
Lombardi was clearly and concisely made his point. Dan had zero or conviction behind anything he said because he knows he's grasping at straws.
I’ve slept on it, I have nothing against the pick alone. I have everything against the pick after giving someone 100mill guaranteed. If you erase Kirk from this situation, I think we’re all happy.
yeah, Penix is a great replacement for Desmond Ridder. He's definitely not the guy you should be bringing in after signing cousins. Also, upsetting Kirk as you go into his opening season can't make for a great relationship with the org.
Exactly, sign Danielle Hunter or Greenard or both in free agency (or trade for Burns hard within division) then pick Penix....
Oh we have a pass rush and a young QB
I'm no Cousins hater I personally think he's underrated but 35 off an achilles with some good skill position guys (but still short at WR) still isn't a championship team but if you go Kirk, then get Odunze if you don't like the defensive guys that much
He’s fine if regular season wins is all you care about!
@@Ryan-ys2bq I'm actually a MN fan so I've been loving our offseason. But I'm scratching my head at the Falcon's moves. Dallas Turner was on the board when Atlanta picked and would have fit their immediate needs, and there are a couple mid-round QBs that could be good as a temporary understudy if they wanted to get a QB in this draft. Or literally, any WR would have been a better pick I feel like for their situation.
Time will ultimately tell but I'm with you guys on how confusing these decisions are.
Said perfectly, it's like orlovsky is looking at the situation while simultaneously ignoring it..
The idea of drafting a QB to sit a year maybe two w a veteran in place is fine but NOT after you just invested 180million at the same spot, legit crazy..
Most likely, cousins will be good but not good enough to hold off penix who will get a chance and be good and the cousin deal ends looking 1000x times worse then the penix pick when his bag stops them from building around a franchise QB on his rookie deal
Orlovsky got roasted, and it was well deserved. He's always trying to look like a big dingus in front of the camera.
So happy for Mike, the joy he gave me this season as a huskies fan is undeniable
Haha. Very impressive. I’ve heard some rants but this brings it to another level 😂
Lombo spitting only truths
Messed up the raiders whole draft
raiders got a great pick
@@mymaynee5963 I agree tho
😂 We took y’all QB! How about the raiders give us Adam’s and we will give you Kirk since you guys so hurt.
@@jmoney6244 keep dreaming bro
@@jmoney6244 Kirk has a no trade clause and y’all are paying 100 mil guaranteed 🤡🫵🏽
I’ve watched this multiple times now to see the flamethrower that is lomborgini. Tones laughs in the back are crushing me
Lombardi Killin It 🔥 🔥 😂😂
Honestly I laughed when I seen the pick 😂😂😂
Josh Dobbs cooked them last year but backup QBs are hard to find 😭😭😭
And look what Josh dobbs doing now , they thinking about the future
@@slmm__6959 They'll need to be thinking about the future, they're all getting fired shortly.
All these same media personalities will be praising them for this pick in 2-3 years. 😂
Dude was GIVING it to the falcons 😂🤣😂🤣
My Texans spent money on a disgruntled receiver when we have two awesome receivers and massive holes on the line.
Still not as bad as this.
😂look When they did this to Aaron Roger's, he went for back-to-back MVP seasons. Maybe that's what they were thinking.
From an article by Alec Lewis….”After years of self-criticism, Kirk Cousins is trying to chill out”….When Kirk was with the Vikings, he was telling his back-up, Sean Mannion, about his experience on the scout team at Michigan State, when defensive linemen would spear him in the back and safeties would pummel him into the grass. Mannion thought that was barbaric.
But for Kirk, it motivated him even more. Pat Narduzzi’s defense thrived on bringing down the quarterback at all costs. The ferocity of the Spartans’ defense woke up something inside the quarterback, who described his frame of mind during those practices as “scorched earth. Kirk told Mannion that “The way I’m wired is, if you want to do that, I’m going destroy you.”
Kirk is obviously pissed off about the pick. Kirk will help Penix but he also is gonna go scorched earth to silence the doubters that he deserves to be QB1 for many years. At his core, Kirk is a fiery competitor. We don’t get the “You Like That!!!” game unless he cared about overcoming doubt by winning.
Rodgers still left but he had already been with the Packers for 15 years when Love got drafted, unlike Kirk.
Say the Falcons do "win now" the next two years....you're gonna kick the guy that got you there to the curb (that was just signed) and play an unproven QB and expect that success to continue? And it's not like Penix is the next Mahomes. He's far more likely to be a bust. And that's if he stays healthy. He torn his ACL twice, had injuries to both shoulders and hurt his ankle.
We got two rolexes and we wearing both of them
Dan O ran out of bounds with his take on the falcons. lol go Lions! Love this Lombo dude. Spot on.
This was a GREAT move by ATL.
-if Cous goes down
-a QB2 for $5 MIL, when free agents will cost them $30 MIL.
Or if Penix steals the show in preseason. I honestly see Atlanta starting him and forcing Cousins to accept a trade.
How do you force a trade on a player that is guaranteed $100:million? Kirk is getting paid regardless. ATL didn't think it through, but now they have to own it.
Mac jones
Sam darnold
Trey lance
Carson wentz
Zach wilson
Jarett stidham
Drew lock
Jimmy G
Josh Rosen
All QBs available this off season for much less then 30 million.
All with nfl experience also some of which were more highly regarded and more talented than penix.
But a back up who could be the worst qb in nfl history is a good back up. Saying that from the stance of no nfl film on him sonits unknown what he will be.
@@hughjazz17 🤣 Yah, because all of the guys in the draft have NFL game film!🙄
@user-jf8tc9sc3r point is you talking like hes goated. He hasnt done anything. Hows zach wilson and trey lance or josh rosen? They were "franchise" guys before the draft. Now you wouldn't trust them to start a single game.
Stop acting like atl has qb locked down for the next 15 years. They have penix whos gonna wait 2 years for his nfl tryout to prove hes not another trey lance. Carson wentz had the eagles qb room set for 15 years. Funny how hes not the qb there anymore and it hasn't been 15 years yet
Lombardi chose to speak nothing but facts
Lombardo dunking on Dan-O is the best thing I’ve seen all Sunday today lol 😂
Falcons think they have Joe Montana at quarterback now and saving Steve Young later
I think the Falcons think they have the next Mahomes.
As a Vikings fan, this whole situation is the height of comedy. Best of luck to Kurt this season!
Fellow Vikings fan....that should have been our pick...looks good on those tampering d-bags
@@bubsmeister wishing yall the worst this season, hope jj leaves 🖕
Good like in next year's draft with your lone 7th rounder
@@bubsmeisteryour just salty the falcons are run by a bunch of bums who made the worst draft decision of the decade lol
@@iabuseartemis lol, thanks? Never really thought of ATL as a rival, but after that epic Passtronaut game last season and now this offseason we've got something brewing. At least we'll always have mutual hatred of the saints to bond over.
the best part of this is the comparison to stafford XD LIKE WHAT!?!?! lol. We watched that kid play in college and it wasnt even CLOSE to the Stafford level of play... even at that age.
Last year Aaron Rogers got injured early in Game One and suddenly the Jets's team vision for the season went completely down the crapper.
Kirk Cousins gets injured and suddenly Falcons GM will be seen as Mister Genius
Cousins must regret his choice to sign there, over night a 4 years contract become at most 2 years before getting cut
get cut, still collect your guaranteed money and then sign another guaranteed contract with another team, show me the money lol
Kirk doesn't have that many years in the tank. He's not Tom Brady. He'll be retired due to injury in two years.
Have You NOT paid attention to his career?? Get the BAG!! Then move along. No worries...he's one of the Highest Paid QB's over the previous 5 or 6 years. He'll cry his way to the BANK!
Penix takes over after 2 years at most. He’d be 26 which is not that old for a QB. Especially a guy who was only sacked 31 times in ~1,800 drop backs. Caleb Williams was sacked more in one season than Penix was in his entire college career.
How are williams 2 acls and shoulder in comparison😊??? Also, it doesn't change a single word Lombardi said.
@@tonyd3057 it does because he’s acting like the falcons are stuck with Kirk for 3 seasons, which as I explained is not true. 2 seasons max.
@jhen0 no it doesn't....you trying to sieze upon every syllable rather than the friggin point.
@@jhen0 They are stuck with the full 130 million bag, genius. You think Cousins is worth that for two seasons?
@@benisrood only $100m was guaranteed which will mostly be paid in 2 seasons
I think the raiders wanted to take Pennix judging by the pick, the Bo Nix pick, the heated Lombo reaction and the fact that the Raiders now have nobody slated to play QB of any real value
Mike ain't playing😳🤯lol😂🤣😆too funny yo🤣😆🤣
Finally someone who tells the truth!!! Have this guy on every show!!
He's a blowhard and can't do crap without Brady!
Cousins should ask for a trade to the RAIDERS! 🤣😂🤣😂
I think with bowers and adams...many qbs will....or try to come out of retirement
If they're (The Raiders) having to depend on a QB coming out of retirement then they're gonna be picking first next year. Their O line blocking is a huge weakness on the team and any previously retired QB won't last playing behind that line. It doesn't matter who's playing WR, TE, or a hybrid combo of both positions, if the QB doesn't have time to get the ball out because of a porous OL they'll never be able to catch what the QB is unable to throw. You could have prime Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, and Michael Irvin playing WR on your team but if your QB is recently unretired and playing behind the current Raiders O line they won't be catching anything other than the reality hit of knowing that they're in for a very long and very painful season full of many losses to come....
@@richardmoon7713 they've had a solid draft so far....jpj will help that line a great deal.
✌️ bye we’ll be fine
Dogs in Atlanta after the Falcons draft a Left Handed Black Qb named Michael💀💀💀
At this point the fact that Mcafee has a dude sitting at his table who just asked if they paid Mariota 100 million tells me all I need to know about the credibility of this show
Perks of being with ESPN, amiright?
If i was cousins talking to gm. Wtf are you doing😮man.....😅
This $hi+ is hilarious 🤡😹😹😹
Lombardi was a GM for 2 seasons with the Browns and drafted LB Barkevious Mingo with the 6th pick in 2013 and CB Justin Gilbert and Johnny Manziel in 2014 with the 8th and 22nd picks but have the nerves to try and clown people. Amazing!
Best interview ever!!
Michael had to bring up the Raiders cause hes still mad they got rid of his son. 😂
oh my god mike lombardi woke up & chose violance 😭😭😭
As a cowboys fan in atl, gotta admit this stuff with the falcons is definitely making me feel better about the way Jerry ended up drafting. I wish that wasn't true tho 😂
There is one smart play for Atlanta here: Get Penix out there from time to time like the preseason or garbage time. Next year, take advantage of the (likely) weak QB class and trade him for potentially more than what that number 8 pick was worth this year.
But that is VERY unlikely to work out. And they won't even try it because they can't decide whether they're making a SB run or in a rebuild.
You're assuming that a quarterback that sits for a year has a lot of value. You're wrong.
Hence it being "VERY unlikely to work." I'm just trying to make sense of madness
Lombo!!!! His hair almost flew off his head!!!! 😂
Way to go ATL. You created a distraction before your season even started. Now Kirk is gonna be looking over his shoulder until he leaves. I give him 2 years and he's gone.
2 years is all cousins is really worth, at this point. He's 35, coming off a Achilles injury.
The deal was always going be only 2 seasons, that's why there opt out clause after 2026.
2 years is all I was expecting. Plus Kirk only has 1 playoff win. He needs the competition. Expensive regardless tho.
An absolute Christmas gift as a Vikings fan!! AHAHAHA OMG!
Danny O hopping around the topic like Jennifee Beals in Flashdance
The arguments for why ATL would take another qb still don’t explain penix over JJ. I’m a vikes fan though, so I’m glad they didn’t.
🤣🤣🤣 JJ is not him
The Falcons are racist. They don't pick white players.
Because the Falcons are racist, they don't pick very many white players.
Cuz JJ can’t throw
If a college team can win by 30 without any special teams touchdowns and running 39 times in a row. JJ can be a game manager at best.
Bijan was the correct pick last year, he is a special talent.
My favorite Lombo rant ever hahaha
Lambo came on like "so I started blasting"
So ATL didn't have CDub in their top 2 qbs in the draft. That draft pick makes perfect sense now. They don't know what they're doing. Lol
Technically 90 million guaranteed for the first two years.
These fired GM's who work on ESPN , who got fired in their jobs,, think they are the best GM'S ever.
I feel like for whatever reason the Falcons ownership somehow has outrageous paranoia from Aaron Rodgers going down in the first game last year and were like..."we ...uh ...cannot let that happen to us...we uh...just need to make sure we are ...um ...ok ...JUST MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!" 😂
Doesn’t make sense. That was the first game of the season. They had a whole year to see this and NOT sign a guy coming off an ACL injury of his own. That’s genuinely stupid.
Falcons probably could’ve traded down, got more picks, and still get Penix. It’s a big reach at pick #8 for someone who won’t be starting for awhile.
But Las Vegas was prepared to move up for Penix.
3 different teams were trying to move up and draft Penix
@@edawg9962 One team actively said that's bs. This is just more spin by ATL's fo to make themselves look less incompetent.
@@TheMattTrakker whose that 1 team?.....what are you talking about?....as if there's not other teams
Falcons fan here and I love our Penix pick. This was a high risk high reward long term play.
Having cousins makes us a playoff team, but he’ll never take us to the promise land. I love that Penix can build up his body and learn behind Kirk. 2 years later take over that offense.
Falcon fan as well. I agree with you.
Yeah people over react because Atl didn’t behave like they assumed. To me it’s a genius move if Kurt plays well for Atl to get to the playoffs good. Penix will be starting at least by mid season next year. He can learn while we have a top 15 qb at the helm.
So you couldn't get another veteran Qb for Penix to learn from? What you are saying makes no sense. They wasted all that money when they could have given that money to other players instead of signing Cousins.
@@thish6201 what other vet qb available that was better than Kirk nobody. Falcons need to win now and plan to win in the future. Smart move by them.
@thekingsson1757 They could have got Flacco, Tannehill or Russell Wilson on a vet minimum. All these guys were available at the time they signed Kirk.
As an Atlanta sports fan, it hilarious to me that we have two teams at complete opposite ends of the spectrum in terms on GM competency with the Braves and the Falcons.
The Rolex analogy is spot on
Lombardi is clearly still a lil butthurt Atlanta didn’t hire his pal 😂
Super butt hurt 😂😂😂
You’re a bot.
Bullcrap
Why is no one talking about if Kurk gets injured which is a high chance
Why pay him 180M when he just got back from injury
They've had the 8th overall pick since the regular season ended.. if they planned on taking a QB at #8, why give over $100mill guaranteed? What a waste of cap when you could fill needs.
Yeah, that part i dont understand
You could literally say that about any player....why didn't the chief trade up and draft a qb...or Baltimore?? They had way worse needs than a backup qb
Only Gutey gets it these guys are idiots
I'm confused to the idea that Atlanta shouldn't have made the pick because "they didn't win last year". What does one have to do with the other?
Lombo segments gotta be my favorite 🤣
Thank you Lombo, Fontenot has done nothing for us
Not gonna lie. I think penix is the best qb in the draft, regardless of his age
They never met with Penix. But now they have trade chips.
Jordan Love situation is way different, Atlanta just signed Kirk to a lot of guranteed money multiple year contract and then drafted at number 8 a 24 year old prospect to sit. Jordan Love was taken way later and Aaron Rodgers wasnt guranteed to stay for multiple years after
Aye Mike spittin facts
