Rodgers statistically at the end of his time with McCarthy to his first year with Lafleur had declined even though they went 13-3 and got blown out by the 49ers in the NFC Championship in Lafleurs first year so the writing was on the wall maybe they should look at a future secession plan. The Packers never thought he was gonna win another 2 MVPs after they drafted Jordan. After the 2 MVPs though he had arguably his worst year since he was a first year starter so it made it easy to justify trading him.

The Falcons have a limited window of time to maximize the talent that they have and cousins was the best QB available to do that. A Smith was fired because of poor QB play. Regardless of pieces, without a QB you have nothing. Drafting Penix was also a great move for the future. If Kirk gets injured or ages out they have a viable backup. He also has time to learn behind Kirk instead of getting thrown to the wolves like Ridder and Bryce Young.

If they were drafting a QB for the future, why was it Penix and not McCarthy? Penix is 24 years old and is already fully developed to play now. McCarthy is more talented, is 21 years old and needs to sit and learn before being in a starting role. By the time Cousin’s contract ends Penix will be 28 years old and if Penix starts before Kirk’s contract ends they’ll still be paying Kirk alot of money. I can understand drafting a QB to sit under Kirk, even though Atlanta NEEDS help on defense, but why was it Penix out of the 3 still available?

Not necessarily. If Kirk is good, that means they’re winning games and in contention. In that context, managing having another good quarterback is a good problem to have and will be able to deal with that fine. And if both are proving to be good, you can always trade one to a team looking for a good qb.

I can't believe I am agreeing with Acho. But that future Falcon graph brings the point home. Kirk is an expensive bridge QB but two years from now paying him 40 million a year will be below avg and having Penix will be seen as a smart move.

@sunnydays405 11 дней назад

I was agreeing with Acho until I realized they could have just gotten a cheaper bridge QB. If you know Kirk is not the guy to get you to the superbowl and you're at the very least interested in drafting a QB this year or next year, why not get a much cheaper option like Jacoby Brissett like Dave said? This is an overpriced hedge bet imo.

@soholingo 11 дней назад

@@sunnydays405 Atlanta's offense was ready so Atlanta got the best QB available for about $45 million/year. Daniel Jones is getting $40mil/year so that's not a bad price. You are set at QB for now. Then draft happens and the 2nd best QB for the next two years falls to Atlanta at the 8th pick, Atlanta has to take Penix, and then sort out the details later. I think it is a brilliant move by Atlanta to get Penix. And I am thinking he is going to be playing this year as I don't see how Kirk is going to last the entire season. But time will be the final judge if it was a good pick or not...

@maximuskeene8572 11 дней назад

the move was dumb given that the falcons signed $180 million away to kirk (with a lot of it guaranteed). either kirk looks bad off an acl tear and being "old" which leads the falcons to move forward with penix, costing atl this massive contract or kirk looks like kirk and plays well in a weak division, making the playoffs and keeping a not-so-young rookie on the bench. you lose something regardless of how the season goes

Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love each sat for three years. Mahomes sat for one year. Cousins can start for three years while Penix learns. They can trade Cousins heading into year four and start Penix, depending on how far they go into Super Bowl contention. If Penix shows promise, the Falcons can pick up Penix's fifth-year option and work on his massive second contract.
