I had been telling all of my friends who would listen that Penix was going top 10 and to ignore the noise, and I can't think of a worse way to have been right about it.
A fellow Saints fan actually started a thread on a Saints board on an LSU based website talking about Fontenot. He asked if we would be better off with Terry Fontenot over Mickey Loomis. Fontenot use to be in the Saints building. Keep in mind, Saints fans are super annoyed with the way the Saints try and dodge the salary cap. Well, this poor guy got his thread bumped after Fontenot and the Falcons made that pick. I still don't know the answer to the question. People crapped all over the guy, but he has a point!!!!!!!! Loomis has been suspect as hell with the way they use the cap but I doubt he'd be that fucking stupid to make that kind of a pick. But he can't because he's cap strapped.
Always a great episode. Falcons first out for Cousins is early 2027. But remember that Falcons had Brett Favre on the roster, passed on both Aaron Rodgers & Jordan Love. Penix is going to sit 3 seasons behind Captain Kirk who’s showing his humility by making only $62 million in 2024. Falcons are ALL IN that getting a guy ready for 3 years produces a franchise QB. The good news is that Penix can’t get hurt for 3 years except for splinters or calluses on his a$$ from the bench while making $22.38 million total, $13 million signing bonus. So will this be a disaster or does a Penix going on age 30 get his first start?
@@isaiahh4108 Agree. In fact he’s one of the few who probably has the experience to be ready soon. They could’ve picked a QB in 3rd or later round & he’d be ready after 3 seasons. But we shall see what happens.
@@isaiahh4108 Also I feel bad for Penix because he’s going to have to find a way to motivate himself over the next 3 seasons when he’s not playing. At age 24 he might be looking at age 27 before he’s a starter. Vikings don’t really have an out from Cousin’s contract until after the third season. He would’ve been better off being drafted by the Rams.
This is the falcons that didn’t want the greatest coach of all time in BB. And the same falcons that said we don’t want Lamar Jackson we have Desmond ridder. I’m sorry but the franchise is a joke.
@@hugeboi3669 None of the QBs just drafted can compete with Cousins on reads & processing. They haven’t taken their first snaps. They’re all basically lumps of clay that have to be molded into NFL QBs. Some won’t be truly ready to even play in 2024. I actually feel bad for Penix because there’s not an out with Cousins’ Falcons contract until after the 2026 season is over. That’s 3 seasons where they have one of the better QBs in the NFL under $45M per season average. For the sake of Penix, I hope that they play him every preseason & in every meaningless game along with any other situation like blowouts so that he keeps improving his game. I hope that he gets enough playing time by the end of season 3 where the Falcons exercise his 5th year option. Honestly. I believe that Cousins will eventually help him. Cousins came in behind RG3, both in the 2012 draft. No one would have believed us is we’d said RG3 would only have one good season in the NFL & Cousins would go from his backup to starter & make more money than Tom Brady in 2016 & 2017 let alone going on to making the kind of money he’s made & starting in the NFL for the last 10 seasons. Cousins is what the NFL is all about. It’s doesn’t matter where a player is drafted, it matters how he plays & Cousins worked his way into starter & an excellent NFL career.
Anyone who knows anything about football knows this is insane and this GM has no business running a team. It’s a DEI hire and it shows he isn’t qualified
Ice Cube had a song from his DEATH CERTIFICATE album called "Doing Dumb Shit". That song came to mind when Atlanta drafted Michael Pennix, Jr at #8. Terry Fontenot can fuck up a cup of coffee and a wet dream.
Great reference! Had the cassette when it came out. Graduated HS in '94. Great decade for music. I think the track "No Vasoline" will come to mind too once the dust settles..
Sounds like BB puppet. Falcons got Kirk to return to a winning culture while the new coaching staff gets their footing. It’s a price worth paying to protect your 1st round investment.
What make know since is you thinking you can predict the future, Cousins could get hurt and Penix is very good protection for the Team. GREAT PICK Cousins is a gap QB at Best won one Playoff game in his OVER PAID CAREER, and the money for him is nothing compared to what Denver is paying for a QB that is not on the Roster. At least Cousins sorry ass is on the roster
I’m starting to think “Super Bowl winning GM Fontenot “ is sarcasm
It’s the new MVP Mitch.

Good call.

He’s 24 he doesn’t need to sit

They weren’t going to get Lamar regardless
Penix is better than Kirk already
I like him better already. 😂
Nope. Kirk is much more accurate and reads the game at an elite level. Penix needs to work on his accuracy and improve his processing

Are you re tarded
Love these takes, all the other media members are just protecting the relationship they have with that front office instead of being honest

They’ll be fired in 2 seasons if not next if it fails just like Bill got fire by the patriots for the same failure in the last seasons
I'm waiting for the news that the Falcons just fired their GM.
So am I!
The falcons are so fucked with this group of people at the helm.
Yes but that’s the drama that sells visiting seats. lol
@@r.williamcomm7693 hahaha great point

@@jesselund360 Just think about how visiting fans celebration parties are going to boost the local economy. 😂
@@jesselund360 I see your comments here now & then. You get to the point in 1/5 of the words it takes me. Once again you summed it up well.
Michael Lombardi is my favorite NFL talking head, also Femi rules

Lombo sawing dahn the falcons is gold lol
Agree with what he says about my Raiders. Bowers is a great player but it kind of felt like a luxury pick
Im embarrassed yet again to be a Falcons fan
