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

You are overthinking this.

And this mentoring thing, that's the QB's coach's job. A vet may give advise to a rookie, sure, yet the vet is not in charge of the rookie's development; again, that's the job of the QB's coach

I’m not really assuming that Penix is getting his training & prowess from Cousins. What I’m saying is that Cousins gave the franchise the time needed for Penix to develop some rapport with his offense and get comfortable with/learn the Falcons’ playbook and schemes. That would have been hard for him to do if he started from Week 1 with only a few series’ in the preseason.

But Cousins is NOT the reason that he is more prepared to start at this stage of the season. The majority of what he may have learned from Cousins is simply from observing Kirk’s interaction with the team and watching offensive replays with his teammates & coaches in the film room.
