N/S Falcons benched QB Kirk Cousins and will start Michael Penix Jr (6 Viewers)

So did they see this coming between rushing to sign him and the draft

Falcons hired the wrong coach. That’s the real issue.

Then they signed a QB who’s not 100% healthy and still isn’t.

They signed a QB who’s one of the best at the play action game and they run play action less than any team in the NFL this season.

So you signed a very average to below average head coach, you signed an injured QB, and then you don’t even tailor an offense to his strengths and get surprised when the results aren’t good.

Falcons always will Falcon

Makes me glad. Most people on here wanted Zac Robinson as OC I was 1st a Waldon guy but was kinda wrong because he got fired in Chi, he could have been a scapegoat. KK was my 1B. Robinson has not done well in ATL with an almost perfectly healthy offense. and KK did amazing the 1st 2 games then had 7 starters miss 33 games including the starting QB missing 4 games and he still did some very good things

It would be ….. but remember back to August? They shut Penix down super quick because he looked really sharp.

They were trying to avoid this exact situation. I have a sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach that they know exactly what they have in Penix.

Penix has the opportunity to build his legend in the next 3 weeks and sadly I think he is going to do it.

I will console myself at least knowing they wasted 100 mil on cousins for 3 quarters of a single season.

He was the QB I wanted since I knew that Daniels was going to be long gone and hated to see him go to the Falcons.

I am extremely not understanding the rush many fans on this board are taking to crown the Falcons.

Did it in May, did it in July, did it in September, doing it now. Some thoughts are better off as unsent drafts

With Penix, I go back to what I said about the NFL being masters of hype, and how they have marketed the draft, making it the factory of hopes and dreams it is. "A 4th overall QB? Future HoF franchise QB! Championship!" But in practice we know that's not the case.

The NFL doing it is one thing, fans of their biggest rivals eating it up hook, line, and sinker is making me nauseous. Got another one on this page.

The state of the Saints, good bad or stuck in neutral, will never see me give the Falcons props. No. Absolutely not. I don’t care if they stockpile their roster with area-born guys and LSU alums. That’s the enemy over there. Act like it.
 
Kirk has been pretty bad all year, and even worse in the last month... Not surprising... Great that they did this after a win... Super Falcon-y thing to do.
