Exactly this as well. Beyond age concerns--by the time they find out if they have something in Penix, they'll need to work on a new contract not long after. The newer league winning QBs have gotten extensions by year 3 (ie. Burrow). So, if Penix somehow lights it up year 3, he could turn around fairly quickly, probably by year 4, and ask for an extension. ATL has really no buffer time in easing the bucks off the QB room to build a team around him. Not to mention, they'll be needing to make decisions on Terrell, London, Pitts, Bijan, a lot of high end investments BEFORE seeing Penix through, and that's IF he works out. Lindstrom's contract is backloaded too and they can't cut Matthews until after 2026. Just a terrible use of resources as it relates to timing & salary allocation, no matter how you look at it. You're in win now, so get a talent to win now. -
it's already going to be painful enough watching Caleb Williams throw TD passes to DJ Moore on a regular basis week in & week out & naturally not sit there & reflect back & say to yourself woulda should coulda had that instead of Bryce Young especially if Bryce never looks remotely similar to a #1 pick -
Agreed. I would expect most realistic fans to tamper their expectations. There is a scenario where we simply over drafted him at 1, but he still has a solid career and can become a franchise QB. That is what I am curious to find out. Does he have what it takes to become the guy. If he can somehow do any of the stuff you stated in year two then fantastic, but that's not where my head is at judging by his rookie play and the state of the franchise.
