Arizona Cardinals fan here. Whatever Steve Keim says, always assume and/or do the opposite. If you want your team to be on a never ending loop of mediocrity and wasted draft capital then Keim is your guy…
So true Tommy to ask this guy about draft picks and potentials is so absurd and funny. Thank God Michael Bidwill got away from him and we now have real dawg in Monti who cooks like a 3* Michelin chef
Yeah he seems like a cool guy. And I hope the guy the best. But just looked up his tenure with the Cards. And those years were not good. Did better after Kyler Murray. Although those teams fell off at the end of the year and were hit by injuries.
THANK YOU. I swear Colin is the ONLY person in the media with commen sense. These people are legit idiots and really hate the falcons. Why build up a narrative they know is a good pick to cause drama?
Steve Keim’s decision-making is definitely one to trust. Built championship teams 😅 and it took a DUI to get suspended, fined and ultimately fired. Few execs have such a resume
Rats know how to flee a sinking ship. Called Bidwill about DUI so Cards suspend him before NFL, yes he was fined, and stepped down for Health reasons before he gets fired.
Dumb take this guy built a team that was a game away from going to the superbowl and had sustained success for a few really good years that’s a lot more than most GM’s can say
Colin just casually ignoring the fact that Kirk was paid $100M guarantee. Nobody is saying Penix was a bad pick due to talent, it’s the fact that they just paid Kirk so much.
The take makes sense since its coming from the guy who paid injury prone Sam Bradford and Mike Glennon to back him up, then proceeded to MOVE UP to draft Josh Rosen in the same offseason
Putting Penix behind Cousins for a year will be the best thing to happen to the kid. All the talking heads had no idea what was coming when Mahomes had to sit behind Smith. If any quarterback will be a flop it will be one thrown directly to the wolves
They could’ve drafted Penix and not signed Kirk, he was going to be there at 8 regardless. That’s what makes the pick bad. He doesn’t need to sit, he’s ready now
As a Skins fan, I am thrilled that the Bears completely bought into the Caleb Williams hype. Daniels will be the best QB in this class. I would have taken him #1 without a thought.
What do you want a team to do if they need a QB? If a QB is a 2nd or 1st rd grade QB, and you need a QB, then you have to take him. Giants only punted the QB pick because they have Daniel Jones on a contract, they would've just taken JJ too if they didn't have Jones.
@@codypieplow6120Penix hasn’t played a down in the NFL. And the Falcons plan is that he won’t play for at least two more seasons. I think it’s fair to question the value of that 1st round pick.
These fools really slow. They act like that 100 mill came out their paychecks. Why not get a backup? So when Kirk goes down falcons back in the same position they’ve been in. Good defense, with no QB.
One thing i hate that sean payton and mickey loomis did was lose out on mahomes. They were going to pick him and they let andy reid jump ahead by one pick
No they are not... Bo picks lol. We seen penix was great in the pacdefenceless but as soon as he played a real defense in championship, terrible missing wide open receivers. lol but whatever you got to tell yourself.
Colin is a casual when it comes to scouting, he just steals his guests takes. Worthy runs a full route tree who gets good seperation, who would be viewed as a good route runner if he didn't break the combine 40.
@@rocketanalyst he can run the full route tree. Had drop issues when he had a broken hand, go figure. Worthy was the 3rd most productive receiver in all of CFB the last 3 seasons. 2700 plus yards and 26 tuds. He will be a star with the Chiefs
The falcons head coach contradicted himself in the press conference justifying the selection. He said they expect to not draft that high again in the near future. Hence the Penix pick. Well, in order to not be in that position, you draft guys who improve your team for 2024. This pick doesn’t accomplish that at all.
How is it that with this much time since the combine, so many of these "analysts" haven't watched tape on Worthy? As soon as they say "speed guy" I know they never even watched a cut-up on UA-cam.
As an Atlanta native and born falcons fan.. I didn’t mind the pick, because we are investing in the future. I just don’t understand it from a coach and gm perspective.. you may only get 2-3 years so you might not ever see that potential develop. If I’m a coach I’m winning bump the future
Yeah love the pick I get it - but the question is why bring in Kirk in the first place and pay him all that cash when you get a Tyrod Taylor/Minshew type to hold the fort while you get Penix ready? Unless the Falcons were thinking lets get Cousins signed, paid and convince him we are all in, just in case we cant get Penix. This defeats the object of winning while your new talented QB is on a rookie contract.
Kiems Worthy comparison to DeSean Jackson is exactly why he's on the Herd with Collin instead of General Managing a team.. DeSean Jackson had amazing start and stop quickness not just straight line speed. Plus D-Jack was the best punt returner in the draft.
So does Worthy 😂 Worthy is the best returner in this draft, too. Even better vertical speed. 3rd most productive college receiver the last 3 seasons. 2700 plus yards and 26 touchdowns. Dude put up 950+ and 12 TDs as a true freshman, he is a baller. Devonta Smith is also rail thin. Worthy is a blend of both. He’s in the perfect situation with the Chiefs. I bet Worthy is a top 10 receiver after year 2.
@dojinobeats7430 Playing for a blue blood program means you should win more. He did worse against better opponents like Notre Dame. Penix on the other hand went to a natty on a mid-tier program.
I’m not sold on Caleb Williams. I think he’s too short. You guys think he’s too short too, but since his skin isn’t white, you don’t say anything about it. If his name were Drew or Doug, you would say something.
The draft only showed us that the falcons liked penix better. Absolutely doesn't tell us what the league thought as a whole. That was such a stupid thing for Colin to say.
I find it hilarious GMs try to act like they knew Mahomes was going to be a star. No you didn’t, no one had any clue he’d be this special except the Chiefs and that’s why they took him. I’m a colts fan, not a Chiefs fan so I’m not biased. Stop bullshitting us treating this like a job interview. 😂
Why is this guy even interviewed? So every pick is great, everyone landed in the right spot, everyone will be successful, etc. etc. ..: of all people, he should know the track record of busts in the draft
If Cousins was already the Falcons QB for years then this makes sense but he hasn’t played a down. He’s a 90 million cap hit and getting 100 million guaranteed the next three years. Penix will be 27 learning the game. Nobody learns on the bench.
If everything you said is true of Penix… why not just take him and have him start? And get the benefit of the rookie deal? Now you’re paying a combined 55 Mil for two guys and will never get benefit of that rookie deal
"35-year-old Qb coming off an Achilles" - and yet they gave him a massive 4-year deal. The issue isn't the Penix pick, per se, it's the Penix pick coupled with the Cousins signing. Which makes ZERO sense. If they wanted to go this route, they should have signed Jacoby Brissettt (or fill in the blank) for one year - not Cousins for four.
There obviously nothing wrong with having a good quarterback room Colin. It's the fact that's Penix is 24 years old. Are they going to have him sit for 4 years behind Kirk? That doesn't make sense when he will be 28 by then. Oh have Kirk play 2 years then trade him? The point of drafting a young quarterback is the salary, and build up around him. If you trade Kirk you will have a 40 million dollar cap hit negating any benefits of starting Penix. This move was idiotic and that might be an understatement.
Falcons just dumped $100m with their 5 year window of having a cheap payrollwindow And the rookie won't play until he is 30 Say what you will this was stupid team building
Colin, Poles been cooking in Chicago since he got here Velus Jones was a 3rd rounder and Claypool was a crybaby not motivated to be great. 👑King Poles We Trust in Chicago
Cousins better show up to camp ready to compete! Penix will be gunning for the job! Cousins is old and returning from injury and has never lead any team to greater things! They acquired him needing a qb to fill a void! After the draft pick, all bets are off! The organization is not obligated to tell Cousins anything and discussions regarding “business “ money is not our concern! Cousins might be the highest paid backup in the league carrying a clip board!!!! You under estimate the jewel that is the player!!!!
Cousins is laughing all the way to the bank as probably the richest NFL player of all time with a single playoff victory. No need to feel bad for him. His family is set for generations.

Arizona has improved immensely since this dude left so take what he says with a grain of salt. Kyler Murray is the only great pick he made
What you think of Josh Rosen Steve?
Keim drafted Zaven Collins, Josh Rosen and Isaiah Simmons with the 8th, 10th and 16th picks. All busts.
Kyler has the "IT" factor. LOL
If Cousins being 35 and coming off of an injury was a real problem, they wouldn’t have paid him so much. Nice try though
Nobody doubts his talent....Falcons could've grabed Hunter, or other D for needs instead of Kirk
