Yeah, I think the decision by the Falcons had potential to look bad if Cousins played up to his contract and Penix already at 25yrs of age would have had to sit 2-3 years. Lucky for them that wasn't the case but, in the 2024 draft thread i mentioned. The Saints scratched off their lottery ticket for $1 the Falcons got a $20 dollar ticket. Both potentially have a max value of 100k.
We just got our cheaper.
I won't because that's not what I'm selling.
Just simply that the Falcons needed a succession plan and already knew Kirk wasn't the future. They used the highest draft pick on a guy that could succeed him ASAP. I think with us, we weren't looking to immediately replace Carr but also realized that we needed a succession plan, just not maybe this year. So we used a 5th on a QB.
Same thing, just different levels and perhaps maybe a lower expectation due to what as invested. I guess you could say their sense of urgency was higher, but the money they paid also doesn't suggest they had plans of of replacing Kirk this year either. Just the way the chips fell. However, if you believe that statement to be true then I'll likely end this here.
