Forgive me for saying this, but the Falcons 2024 Quarterback move is GENIUS!

it was a terrible decision to give Cousins that much money
This!!! The move to play Pennix now is smart. They need to know what they have and what better time to do that with these last few games against weak opponents.

With that said, the decision to draft him, at the spot they did, was not after just paying Cousins that contract. You essentially wrote Cousins a big check to not be a Failclown when they handed in that draft card.
