How bad would it be if both Cousins and Penix go on IR in the preseason?  Both have a history with injuries. And with the way this all went down, it just feels like that would be the ultimate bad joke finish to the story. Not wishing anything on anyone, but Atlanta’s bad luck is on par with the Panthers. I could see it happening.

If I am Atlanta, at some point a team is going to need a qb desperately enough to trade the house for one.  But Atlanta is stuck with Cousins contract for years and will need to play him if they want to get anything for what their paying for.  penix riding the bench wont be good for him.  With the style of play he has, He needs to be on the field to learn.

Arod wasn't new to the team, nor did he sign 180milion deal with 100 million guarantees. Plus love was a 26th pick, not 8th overall. BTW cousins has a no-trade clause as well....

I think it made arod win the MVP too....which in itself worth the pick...

The main point of drafting a rookie is for them to play on that cheap contract. At min penix will play two years from now, thus washing out the good part of his contract. Only way this works if cousins gets re-injured or busts. He will be 26-27 and need another contract by then. 

No matter what the saints do, Each cap dollars do matter. It's an awful awful deal no matter the out come. Glad panthers will benefit!!

Regarding Arod being new, that is not really my point.  My point is that Packer fans felt that Love was a reach and that the Packers needed help to actually win a Superbowl.  If Pennix takes over qb in three years and plays well, no one will care when he was drafted.  

And the main point of drafting anyone is to make the team better.  For Pennix, the GM was thinking a couple of years down the road, not now. And to put the team in a position for sustained long term success.   Only time will tell if that philosophy will work.  It probably won't work, but then the majority of draft picks down work out as well as teams hope they will.

I see that perspective, but there are some glaring differences.  At that time, the QB in Green Bay was entrenched  or proven and Love was the 26th pick of the first round--not the 8th.  Picking him at 8 was a reach, and people in Green Bay thought picking love at 26 was a bit of a reach (I recall many wondering if he would be a first or second rounder).  Cousins is new--has not even met his teammates.  This will impact the locker room differently.  Since the fans are not that attached to familiar as the Cheeseheads were to Rodgers, Cousins will have a bad game and the controversy will begin.  For that reason, I am not sure they did anything but use a first round pick to weaponize their fan base against the QB they just paid $100m in guaranteed money.  That did not happen in Green Bay--it will happen in Atlanta.  Popcorn is out.

I just meant the circumstances were similar, but certainly not identical.  In the end, the only thing that matters is how well Pennix plays one of these days.

Penix will not see the field unless Cousins gets injured. If something as unfortunate as that were to happen I would think they would be praying he balled out. If he doesn't then things will get interesting in Atlanta.

      Dan Morgan Pre-Draft press conference

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      Here are my takeaways from the conference (IMO): - Is Dan against taking a WR 3 years in a row? No. Would that be his preference? Also, no. Not by a long shot.  - I think draft gurus are wrong. Tight end is not an early priority. They like the guys in the building enough to see them develop, but a later round guy is being looked at (just seemed like he was able to label a couple of guys "talented", but stopped short of suggesting the class is good at the top. Seemed quick to talk about the depth of the class) - If we are taking a DL, it will be in the top 2 rounds. They fall off a cliff at some point soon after. - They are targeting guys in each round. I think we are more likely to move up than down in this draft to prevent missing out on a guy. He doesn't want to give up a lot though, man loves his draft picks. - DBs are a priority. We want to come away with a safety and a nickel. Maybe even a safety that can play nickel. Thieneman sounds more and more like a real possibility, if he is there. We are taking a safety in the first 2 rounds, if I had to put money on it. - Age matters more for 1st round picks, probably (Mesidor), but not for after that (Stukes). - They have a guy or two that they want in the 1st round, but crazy things DO happen in the draft, and they may shift gears and take a different guy if someone falls that they didn't expect to be there.  - Character matters. A LOT. If a guy has character concerns of any kind, you can be pretty confident they aren't on our board. They may bring in a guy or two for a visit to gauge the validity/severity of the concern though.
