Nah the plan is to make the playoffs with Cousins during the regular season then switch to Penix at playoff time. It's a master stroke because Cousin's is a picture perfect regular season QB who will be benched at playoff time in favor of Penix who just doesn't know any better. 


It's truly genius level stuff.

The Atlanta Falcons had cap space to trade for a veteran QB in the off-season, and a Top Ten pick.

They came out of those scenarios with the oldest, most injured QB room in their division.

That's comedy, folks.

Watched the Draft last night.  Pretty much went as a lot of the analysts predicted for most of the top picks. 

Caleb Williams to the Bears

Jaden Daniels to the Redskins

Drake Maye to the Pats

Marvin Harrison Jr. III to the Cards

After a few more picks, your/my Atlanta Falcons are on the clock, and wait, we're hearing Atlanta is taking a QB.  No, that can't be possible.  They just signed Kirk Cousins to a $180 million deal.  That's bad info.

WTF just happened???  Surely this is part of their strategy.  Obviously, they're going to trade Penix for a later pick so they can get the defensive guy they want at a lesser price.  Right?  They have a plan, don't they? 

Then, we find out they didn't even tell their new franchise QB they were taking another quarterback until the pick was in.  No, they don't have a plan, other than pulling off the dumbest F'n move in Draft history, except for Minnesota not getting their pick in one year. And most had Penix going in the 2nd round anyway.

Cousins will probably get injured and Penix will come in and throw for 10 bazillion yards and 593 TD's and I'll eat crow.  But right now, I'm with every other NFL fan, pointing and laughing at this F'd up franchise.

In other Draft news, Bo Nix joined former AU QB, Jarrett Stidham, in Denver.  He went #12.

Their take this morning.  Lambert-Smith only had 2 catches in his last 4 games.  Something was wrong there. Maybe he's the problem.  I guess we'll find out.

Yeah just his comments about bringing in this veteran presence for all of this young talent just makes me suspicious...

...because that's not what selfish all about me receivers generally have in mind.


Only a month ago Lambert- Smith is listed as PSU's #1 on the depth chart at slot receiver. He has NFL QB prospect Drew Alar as his battery mate. Why would he leave the comforts of that situation for a program trying to re-find its footing?
This just doesn't make sense and losing Elba RB Alvin Henderson only a couple of weeks ago to PSU just doesn't figure into this equation.
