Cam Newton breaks down Falcons INSANE Draft Decision to take Michael Penix... $140 MILLION wasted... 

Kirk Gone be like Tyrese on Fast and Furious. WE AIN'T HUNGRY NO MO' 💰💰💰💰

"Ninja That's Aaron Rodgers" 🤣😂🤣😂

13:17 not the officer pulling Cam over just to ask ab that pick I’m dead

Since when did feelings matter in any level of football past pop Warner? Anybody who get me a dub will start, dog eat dog baby, no promise other than the opportunity.

Cam u the man! Extra wise.

There are 9 other QBs getting paid right now more than Kirk Cousins. This idea that Kirk was crazily overpaid is just wrong. If the Falcons win 10 games, this entire segment is ridiculous. Kirk was brought in to win now and Jumpstart the franchise after years of garbage QB play. Penix was brought in to learn how to be a professional and prepare to take over in a few years.

Cam want to Be with the falcons 😭🤣

Falcons just signed 2 more DB

5:15 But if this scenario happens how is it a bad thing? Cam is reaching.

Falcons have been making clown decisions for the last 50 years

LOL this actually is cheap deal for Kirk cousins?

Something about Cam - I have been binging him and just let it run in the background. He has a way of changing his tone somehow when he is about to drop truth - my ears perk up and I can hear the good stuff. Somehow, his frequency hits right on this middle aged Nebraska guy.

Hey Cam, I have a question for you that nobody talks about. I believe you were the first #1 pick to enter the NFL under the new rookie pay scale. As such, your first contract wasn't even comparable to say Matthew Stafford's. That new rule came when there was a fierce CBA negotiation, and every player that got a vote on it was already in the NFL, and thus they didn't really care. I always thought that was a nasty trick by the owners. I was wondering if you had any thoughts about the rookie pay scale?

Billionaires overpaying Millionaires is normal. Grabbing your insurance policy is Priceless

Aaron Rogers went into the season perfectly healthy and the Jets had a top ranked defense. They ended up in the same situation after 1 drive in the first game. 66 quarterbacks started last year.

🤔🧐🤨...Not a Falcons fan, but i like the pick of Penix Jr at #8. Cousins is getting paid enough 💰💰💰 to put 'his feelings in his pocket' and perform on the field. Cousins just needs to do his job to keep Penix on the sideline to learn and grow for the future. If Cousins does what he normally does which is be good in the regular season and be at home with Dak Prescott before the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, the Falcons won't have another top 10 pick to get a qb for at least the next 3-4 years 🤷🏾‍♂️. Dallas has done it with Trey Lance...Pittsburgh just did it with Justin Fields...💩Jacksonville even did it Mac Jones😂😂

Am I the only one that thinks this is a good idea? The old way they used to do quarterbacks is let them study for a couple years so they can be ready mentally to come into the games. Steve Young, Aaron Rodgers, Jordan love, the list goes on. If I’m Michael Penix, and Kirk cousins I’m happy. Kirk got paid and a deal so the Falcons can say that they are 100% invested, and should he go down, the guy that’s the next generation is already there they don’t need to go looking for him. is it a distraction? It sure is, but that’s how you know you made the right decision. The fans aren’t gonna be chanting for the second guy if the second guy isn’t good. I actually think it’s a genius move. The opposite is “we need a quarterback now” and then you’re scrambling trying to find a guy, and then have him learn in real time, and if he doesn’t do well, that makes him a bust… because you know we jump to conclusions when a player doesn’t enter the Hall of Fame in his first year… Justin Fields.

Also something you didn’t mention.. penix is already an older QB coming out of college. So if he sits for a couple years he finna be like 25,26

This was a good segment. No lies detected fr. Cousins is is the “ninja whisperer” but the young bull Mike Penix’s road to the NFL was a slow trajectory. Bro gon lace them cleats up and put it all out there on the field. Imma bears fan and think that Penix is a dawg fr… and the bears drafted a talented QB1… 🤷🏾‍♂️

If Atlanta knew for a fact that they could get him at 8 like it was absolutely nothing to take him they would not have gotten Kirk. Let’s be real Kirk isn’t the future but they didn’t want to chance not having a legitimate QB either . We act like Atlanta had top tier qbs forever. Perfect play for their future. All the other stuff will take care of itself in the next draft.

Bruh you just lost all credibility when you said we need to address our o line 🤣 like what?!

It use to be a Player drafted No.1 had to sit on the bench for 2 or 3yrs before they got a shot, now some Players (Not All) start Right Away.

It was a brilliant move by the Falcons, they're thinking about the future. There's no competition, Kirk's career is done! His legacy is cemented, his money is guaranteed, so why not help the kid?

28-3 really crippled them 😂😂😂

For years,we have drafted predictably as the media said. And we have predictablely faid. So to invest in a insurance policy to cover a 180million dollar investment is smart

Atlanta messed up bad by paying Cousins all that money. That was an extremely bone head move. Had they paid him something decent and not ridiculous, drafting Penix wouldn’t look so stupid.

Lol I'm weak!!!! That's Atlanta for you!!

Cam knows football better than this. He is acting like Adam Schefter. Listen to the fans? What are you talking about?

OKKK we'll promise you this because you not That, so we can pay This that!!!😮...😮

Penix having 4 season ending injuries in college was enough to not draft him in the 1st rd. The Cousins/ Penix situation going to cost GM the job.

Cam Newton makes some awesome points! That business about it being a distraction is real. You don't want the clubhouse divided as to who we want at QB. If you have two QBs, you have none. And Cam speaks from experience - he's not just some media member speculating. He knows what goes on inside a clubhouse. The pick of Penix throws all sort of pressure on Kirk Cousins. Kirk needs time to get acclimated to his new team, number 1. Secondly, he's gonna have a NFL ready QB right over his shoulder waiting to pounce. And with the defense being weak (especially after not drafting a stud defensive player at #8) Cousins will lose games that aren't his fault. The Vikings struggled to win, not because of Cousins' play, but because their defense wasn't good enough. The same thing may happen in Atlanta.

Ima be real... I don't think this was a bad pick.. This was a Coach's pick.. Cousins is not the long term solution. He was the Best "Win Now" option in free agency. With not too many quality years left. Penix is the QB Morris wants to build.. Hate the team.. love the pick 🤷🏿‍♂️

$100M Guaranteed is so FAIR...Cam Newton saying Prayers, and Changing his name‼️

The fact is, Kirk Cousins is coming off of a major achilles injury and no one know that if Cousins can starts all 17 games and maybe another 3 or 4 games in the playoff. So, out of 20 games, maybe old man Kirk Cousins might starts 15 games. It will do Michael Penix to sit on the bench for 1 to 4 seasons and learn from one of the best Pro QB in the game. Picking Penix shows that Atlanta is prepared to go all the way to winning the super bowl. The Falcons are playing Chess not Checkers baby!!

In a perfect world, coming off his injurt, Kurt would sit out most if not all of the preseason to save him for the regular season. Now he has to play in the preseason because he can't afford to let Penix shine over him. If Michael lights it up and we don't see Cousins until the regular season if the Falcons struggle in the first game the fans will immediately call for the new young guy.

Woah Cam dis fit on point

Cam is right about that cousins situation

Bruh the only bad move is paying a trash Qb all that money 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Imagine spending $150 mil on a car just for it to stay in the garage 😂😭

Dude I want to interview Cam Edit : Really ain’t even got to be an interview just want to talk to him.

That’s not what Terry was saying to art.. he was telling him what it cost to move back up in the first round.. also falcons only locked in with Kirk for two years.

Love cams character arc from Superman on the field to the oracle of the game

With the number 8th pick the Atlanta Falcons Select ....Micheal Pennix JR. Me 😳......What Atlanta doin? They just killed this season smh

As an Atlanta Falcons fan and Atlanta native, I swear this man Cam ain’t lie bout anything he said in this video

Cam Newton is the MAN! What great points he made through this entire podcast. He gives you the player perspective and unless Cousins balls out, Cam told you what's gonna happen there. That was HILARIOUS what he said about the cop that pulled him over asked him about the Falcons pick!! I laughed out loud hard on that one. And change the jersey to Kirk GUARANTEED. Fantasttic!! Spoken like a true player.

Actually a very smart move by my Falcons. Sure we have other holes to fill but we are far from a Super Bowl team so we can address those as we go on, plus next season's potential QB class is beyond weak. Kirk is 36 coming off a injury, he isnt our future at all. Kirk will be gone after 2 years and Penix will be ready to step in and lead the Falcons for the next 10 to 15 years. Nice pick by my Falcons.

Kirk Cousins : " Just give me my money" 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 yaaaaay Falcons : 👀🤦🏾‍♂️

How you Sign Kirk Cousins to that big deal & then pick a QB in Top Ten & you needed other positions.🤣🤣Falcons are the new Broncos they will be paying big money for Cousins to play somewhere else. That’s why Atlanta never winning a Superbowl 💯🗑️🗑️

Kirk Cousins' agent still know how get that bag, contract, after contract, after contract - goddamn! ✍💰

Yall's opinion doesn't matter, lets see how well this ages you two arent football Gods. Any given Sunday baby never forget!! Rise up we will be gifted the Lombardi 2025

I don’t think it’s a bad choice but it’s not a Win Now Choice. Cousins isn’t young and there’s gotta be a contingency plan if he misses a ton of time. Falcons have had bad QB’s for awhile now they don’t

I had a premonition Kirk Cousins will lead the Atlanta Falcons to the super-bowl get hurt in the first quarter Penix will come in win the game and Kirk retires

I truly believe you could of got the same if not better due to playstyle and like ability mentorship/production from a cam newton at a significantly less price or Collin kapernick

Kirk win the superbowl next year, Falcons will trade Penix and keep Kirk til he's 43yrs old. Kirk's future is in his own hands

Somebody in the Falcons front office getting fired!

Shout out to whoever tried to justify this pick... 👏 you played yourself 😅😅😅😅

Nah kirk has 2 years to prove himself and i would say at worst they go like 10 7 this year then start off 0 and 6 to 2 and 5 then maybe u see penix ... unless cousins gets hurt

lol that play by play was on point. Arthur Blank was like “what are we doing!”

I dont see how its insane when curt is coming off an injury at his age only thing is they shouldn’t of paid curt the way they did especially not guaranteed should of been like a 2 yr 60 mil till penix was ready so if penix ball out there will be no money to pay what hes worth cause they already gave it to the old white injured non big game winning liability

I kno I kno.. But this is a future pick.. Because cousins is a liability!

If Penix stays healthy, you best put some ketchup on those words.

“Top dollar” at the time it wasn’t even top ten per year money in the league and now it’s even lower stop it Cameron Jarrell

ATL did what Green Bay did. They took the best player off the market so no one can get him

You thought that sh*t was smart 😂😂

8:27 Minnesota stopped giving him guaranteed so of course he's going to say all that......... to the point where he even snitched on himself lol

My man really said “Depending on his MENTAL TELEPATHY he can catch back up” 😂😂😂 11:04

I wonder if the USFL would let the falcons in their league.

If we are too expect Kirk to play out his contract as a falcon Pen would be going on 27.. why draft him if you signed an old QB you supposedly believe in

Kirk Guaranteeeeeeeed

Cam Bill Romanoski and Bill lambeer are the only athletes i cant stand.

Penix at 8 is dumb. With Rodgers and Love, Love was a project traits guy taken in the 20s and he was younger they always wanted him to sit. Penix was in college for 6 years he's already old and he's had his own lower leg injuries. At 8 you want him to play now. He'll be like 30 by the time kirk's deal is up

yall talking like Kirko trash…and I’m a packer fan

puffy helmets will ruin the league, might as well go to flag football

They rolling tha dice on cousins and pinix

Cam can play but he can’t build a team.

Isn't cam die hard falcons fan?

“WHO THE HELL YOU BOUT TO BUY?!!”

Dirty bird special lmao

Author is 83 the future is now

Anyway you share it it's a stupid move. 50 million a year for Cousins? You can't even improve the team. If Cousins succeeds Penix leaves. If he fails you handicapped your salary for 3 years. Penix probably still walks

$100M Guaranteed is No Pressure...Kurt never been a Super Bowl Level QB...he is another Jay Cutler...they get the Bag because they will win you games, and get you to the playoffs, BUT never get you to the Super Bowl...

Man, when everyone and their mom is either praising or slamming a draft pick, 99% of the time, they all turn out to be dumb takes. All respect to Cam, but Penix can play.

He's not saying MPJ is a bad player! Why sign an old ahh HURT QB and overpay, then draft a QB. You're either wasting money, ruining a career or both! Kirk isn't a QB to model after. Worst rebuild ever

That shirt a fool

Cam, what needs on the Oline?

Its a losing situation for penix. If kirk does good. He wont get an opportunity to play and wont get to a big 2nd contract. Everyone in this situation gets screwed. Hell the whole team chemistry is screwed.

We good bro

50 mil. Back up

Cam, thought is they may know what they are doing. Say they drafted Penix to make like if Cousins is not that guy and they can use Penix. However off Cousins does pan out, they could use Penix to get players they need to fill the gap. If he is as good as he was in college he could bring two maybe three trades they can now get.

Cousins got that "why y'all draft Jim"? In his RG3 voice 😂😂😂

11:03 “depending on his mental telepathy” Cam are you telling us this guy can move things with his mind and read minds ?

I ain't feeling bad for a dude whose getting $175+ million guaranteed.

Why does Cam have Compton blood gang scarf around his neck??

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Shittt if I was Kirk Cousins I'd be happy 100M guaranteed & im 35 & all the pressure not on me, shii come on young fella ima show you the ropes, if you fuck up i'll come in.

I don't know why everyone makes such a big deal of this. After Kirk's 3 years are up his replacement is ready for the long term. Kirk is a vet he should be able to tune out any external noise. It's so weak to think this could be detrimental.

The thing is Micheal penix is already I think 24-25 so he should technically be in his nfl prime but Now he probably not gonna start until he is at least 27 so now they only get 4 years to really work with their QB

They didn’t think penix would fall to them and he was the only one they liked out of all the QBs, that’s why they went and cousins. Then he fell to them and they was like the hell with it take him!! Cause the cousins deal is technically a two year deal. But I’m with ya if penix comes in and starts winning that locker room over, it gone be a problem!! But players seem to like cousins in the locker room, I’ve never heard any kind of talk about players not liking him or anything like that.

That draft pick makes no sense. Could of gotten a OL or a Edge rusher who is really needed. Kirk dont want to have to look over his shoulder

Kirk messed up out the gate with that big mouf of his, that tampering penalty is gonna hit different next yr! Penix is really like that!
