QB can play till their 40s now lol 

Sure, but making this pick is basically a clear signal the plan is to play Cousins until they can dump him without a massive cap hit and move onto Pennix.

I haven't looked up Cousins exact contract, but I'm guessing it will be at least 2 years until they can do that, and unless he's literally winning MVP's or getting them to the SB, they'll move on from him even if he can still be a starter for a few more years.

It's the Rodgers/Love situation except Rodgers was better than Cousins, not a late first round pick used for the QB, and not right after they signed Rodgers as a FA to a big contract.

Just a really weird selection all around.

Not even close to the same player.. more like Rodney Pete vibes 

You didn't watch him play then.  He's not quite as slippery once out of the pocket, but he can move.  Penix is more of a polished pocket passer than Vick was.  He's a sneaky good athlete though.

Rodney Peete was never anything special.  Poor comp.

The Falcons taking a QB in general here is dumb

But they just took the QB who turns 24 in a couple weeks and now will have to sit for at least 2 season I'm guessing.

If you're going to take a future QB knowing they'll have to sit behind Cousins for a few seasons, why are you taking the oldest guy of the bunch?

So dumb

The Falcons are gonna lose picks when the NFL does the investigation on the whole Kirk Cousins tampering deal so I can see why they went ahead and took a QB now. Take the guy you like now because you'll be too good with Kirk to be picking that high and you'll lack the capital go trade up.

Insane

Doesn’t look like WRs are going to fall. Carolina could have a good pass rusher fall in their lap tho 

Disagree the top three guys were always going in top ten.  Key is what happens next and if you get a run on receivers at end of first.

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
