The only reason that Penix was not considered a top two or three talent this draft is due to his injury history. He had arguably the best season out of every QB picked ahead of him tonight. He's not as mobile as the others, but he's not exactly a statue either. He can flat out drop dimes. 

He'll take the reins in 2026, and we're going to have some problems, so I just don't get everyone trying to clown the Falcons over the pick. They're allowing him to sit and learn. That's what you want to do.

Accurate kid. Big arm.  44 TD's and ehat was it, 3 interceptions? 

Falcons should be happy.

Cousins contract is actually not that difficult to get rid of, by QB standards.  After 2025 they can cut with only 25 million in dead money, assuming they don't restructure before.

Kirk Cousins is the most under appreciated quarterback, by fans, in the NFL. All he has done it produce, and he produces clutch moments. He has had to fight this stigma since he was drafted with RG3. I’d have planned to keep Cousins for a few years and then move on, but taking Penix at 8 was dumb. 
 

Now Cousins knows you aren’t committed to winning now. He could’ve taken them to Top 8 or so offense with the weapons on that team, and all they had to do was add one more. Instead they take Penix. poo is hilarious and Panther like. 
 

rivals? No, friends in misery.

Cousins is a descent player but not exceptional. He's 35 and only has one playoff win.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
