Forgive me for saying this, but the Falcons 2024 Quarterback move is GENIUS!
Eff em…. But they absolutely made the right play with Cousins and Pennix. They played the now and the future because they didn’t have a franchise QB in house.
If Cousins works out then it’s money well spent…. And your young QB can sit and learn. If not, you have a young QB you can play on a 5 year rookie contract and start your future now.
It’s the right move with a young QB and a bridge vet QB. No one is gonna care what they paid Cousins if Pennix is a star. No one. $100 million guaranteed QBs are now a dime a dozen in the NFL.
Whether or not it works out in the end is irrelevant. It’s the Falcons so it probably wont. But the decision was correct.
Again. Eff em. But it was the right move. One I wish we would have made years ago.
