Like I said before.. You don't understand how hard it is to be a Falcons fan

Falcons owner was pissed lmaoo

Mr Pennix congratulations💯💯💯

Classic Atlanta move absolute classic

This literally makes me wanna cry knowing where we from and watching him grow up into the beast THAT HE IS ! He was built for this though you gotta b from here to understand how hard it is to beat the odds and he DID IT he deserves everything and more

This is the most embarrassed I have been since 28-3. Like in the terms of not wanting to talk to my friends. 😂

Wow this is amazing, We finally have the quarter back of our future.. This Dude is a absolute DoG..🔥 Thank you God and Jesus..🔥🏈🔥 Let's go falcons and rise up Atlanta 🔥 Let's get it 💥💥🦾🦾🔥👁️👃👁️

Why give Kirk 180 million so we can take his replacement!? Dallas turner is out there and we needed defense

So happy for him!!!!❤️❤️❤️

Sbatched him right from up under the Raiders. Smh

Falcons made an intelligent decision. We love Kirk, but he's coming off an injury and the Falcons need a dynamic backup and a FUTURE! Penix's presence will ensure Kirk stays on point: iron sharpens iron. The Falcons looked at the Saints, who have made Derek Carr--Mr. Mediocrity--far too comfortable and pampered. Dude throws nothing but check-downs and excuses and attacks his teammates for HIS obvious shortcomings. Kudos to the Falcons for doing the needful and not catering to ego. What is more, Cousins is a PRO and a VET. He's humble and focused. He's going to a a GREAT QB for the Falcons and we can't wait to watch him!!!

Nice to hear that the Falcons' coaches and management are showing Cousins his respect as the face of the franchise.

Lets goooooooooo, I was Prayin on this. Man this just made my day

If Cousins has success, then Falcons will not be drafting high, so getting a franchise QB now is for the future.

I'm a husky fan and I've watched every snap for the last 2 years. You guys got the best quarterback in the draft by far. Penix is a flat-out stud. He threw the best ball in college he will throw the best ball in the NFL. If you don't believe me. Go to UKposts and watch Penix 2023 highlights.. it's amazing.

Cousins has got to be feeling like the rug was pulled out from under him. You kind of get this the feeling Morris didn’t want him.

As a GM how do you mess up a young talented team with a good o-line. Just pitiful

This was a real head scratcher obviously. Cousins is your starter for 4 years barring injury or just an unforeseen career derailment and then Penix takes over… but Penix is already 23 years old. So they spent a 1st round pick on a guy that won’t play until he’s 27 years old, just seems like an odd pick.

I get why we did it. Kirk cousins is gonna make 45 million year one , 45 million year two and then 10 year 3. Only 90 million is guaranteed. Let him sit behind Kirk for 2 years and then hope he’s ready by year 3. I’m still shocked by the pick but I’ve accepted it. Plus we’re gonna lose picks next year so I think we are preparing for that.

If I’m Kurt Cousins I’m asking for a trade to the Raiders

That dude gonna be a great qb

ATL gonna unleash 2 QB sets and Falcons fans are gonna like that.

You could’ve traded back easily 4-5 spot and picked up multiple picks and still got him.

The pick was good if Kirk go down who do they have for backup Penix is too good of a talent to pass up left handed duel threat accurate willing to learn from a Veteran the only gripe i have is why give K.C all dat money when they know he is injury prone they could of use that money to get some free agents to build up the Dline ..

As a Husky fan you guys got a BEAST. He’s got the best arm I’ve seen. I’m jealous, I wish he would have fallen to Seattle. Congrats Falcons fans, you got a gem.

Here's what people are forgetting and it's all Cousins fault. They told him we may take a quarterback. Now they could have waited later in draft or next year... but hold on.. because of Cousin idiotic press conference about meeting falcons staff before legally allowed. Atlanta may not have much draft capital next year. When it came down the NFL would not punish them this year, they did the smart thing and drafted a QB. So what if he doesn't play until 27 as long as a good QB. And that worse case. Kirk has never been and iron man, he's constantly hurt. And dinged up Great pickup. Screw the haters. And Kirk if you're mad at anyone be mad at yourself, learn what NOT to say in press conferences.

Dude Penix wasn't expecting that at all

Affirmative Action at its best in the NFL👀🏈💰📚.

I’m so happy for Penix as a Husky fan. He was outstanding these last two years. I just hope he can stay healthy.

Why didn't they just trade for Fields

Cousins should demand a trade.

Even penix was stunned lol

Team is built to win now, could have had an immediate starter on either side of the ball and a cornerstone of the future. Now their number 8 pick will be a back up for the next 4 years.

I love it! Great f’n pick! Michael Penix Jr 🏹 #Riseup

Outstanding Selection..💪🏾💯

I told everybody that would listen Micheal Pinex Jr is a top 3 QB in this draft! His passes are always on point. Just watch his tape! He is probably the most accurate thrower in the draft!

They had a chance to get Justin Fields for a 3rd and Russ for the vet min but instead they spent $180M on a injured 36 year old QB and drafted another QB in the 1st rd who’s not gonna play his 1st 2 years. This team man.

Good for Raheem Morris 👏🏾 hope they give him a real chance

I haven’t been this pissed In a while from this team. Especially when it’s not even involving a game

This has to be one of the most confusing picks ever. This absolutely makes no sense. Instead of adding a weapon for cousins then draft someone that will be on the bench for the next 2-3 years. Someone sucks at their job…

This is how it's done, baby! Yeah...this GM, Coach duo know how to do it. Bright minds, leader of men, talented, and all of the above for this GM and Coach. YEAH BABY!!!!

Someone spiked the Gatorade in the draft room.

Pressure is on Atlanta now, you don't let a QB drafted at number 8 sit for 4 years. Pretty sure Kirk Cousins understands his deal went from 4 to 2 years. Where they were in the draft and the needs they have on that roster, definitely makes this a questionable pick.

👍 the future is bright , how many drafts picks we can get for kirk?

I still think it shouldve been turner man they couldve used that help on defense but penix is really good regardless keep grinding Atlanta 💯😂😮‍💨

Falcons' GM should be fired. He has done a really poor job at putting a team together especially with all his high draft picks.

First off,Arthur blank wanted him,second, this is a very smart pick that i thought that they we're going to make,"for the most obvious reasons ",third, their are a lot of quality pass rusher left on the board!!

Not only did we waste this pick on a broken backup. What are we gonna lose next year with the tampering? They trippin

The City going to be lit!!! Bring back the mike Vick days in Atlanta

Kurt coming off an Achilles injury at 35 be serious

The little girl in the yellow in the back at the start of the video is hilarious lol

The best move

Michael penix is that good.

Didn’t want Tampa to get the Tampa native

I’m glad we got penix and Kirk not mad he the bag for being a starter and being a QB coach we good over here in Atlanta baby

GM is on the hot seat. Lol

Passed on Rome Odunze and Turner/Latu. Falcons fumbled this draft. 😂

THIS WAS BRILLIANT!!!!!

I always thought bro was better than jj McCarthy. I think Atlanta got a potential goat . I feel Kirk contract will be team franchise to other franchises that may be in qb need , in the future . I see penix being the starter in 1to 2 years

What this tells me is that there is a possibility that Kirks recovery may not be going on schedule plus its insurance for if he gets hurt again

Great pick. Underrated.

Cousins is not the best fit for ATL. We need longevity. Good pick.

So Falcons not gonna address the defense guess when they lose because they can’t outscore their opponents they only have themselves to blame

Cousins injury question marks, Penix can develop like Jordan Love for 2-3 years and also gives him time to continue to strengthen his body with his injury question marks. This was probably the real reason Belichick wasn't hired as he was not on board for drafting a QB it's their 8th pick.

It does make sense though, Kirk can't play forever if you see him as your guy go get him.

Diabolical genius move. Kirk is coming off an Achilles injury. Anything lower body takes 2+ yrs to heal. Plus, Kirk never won a big game.

That GM really whiffed this one 😂

Atl got a good one

Basically said we need a backup plan

Guys remember the Jordan love draft pick. He was drafted with Aaron Rodgers who was way better that Kirk is now. Now everyone loves the pick LOL. The organization had a plan with Aaron and the Falcons have one with Kirk also. You think Minnesota was going to keep Kirk pass two more years? What do you think the Falcons are thinking? The same thing. 2-3 years and move to the future.

Cousin is the money man, not sure he’s in panic mode. 450 million + in contract money is mind boggling.

Cousins will not finish his 4 years...bravo Falcons management

Wow the Falcons are nuts.

I've been saying it all year...he is the best thrower in this class

Two quartebacks? I like Penix. Why sign Cousins? Im confused😮

Probably could have got him later. Should have drafted defense so they could be a contender possibly this year. Bad move, in 4 years they could have just signed another free agent or possibly get one from the draft. There are good quarterbacks at the end of the first round (Love, Rodgers, Lamar etc ..)

Atlanta failcons are the most frustrating team in the NFL

Drafting your FUTURE QB now was a Brilliant move. Of course most folks won't every get that. GREAT move Falcons. Most teams FAIL to do this. Thank the Blank that the Flacons did this.

SVP is the best

Love seeing these professional sports analysts completely ignore details of the Cousins contract to make it seem like he's locked in for 4 years

I hate my Franchise… blank needs to sell this team.

The Falcons did not call Kurt cousins to let him know that we were drafting a quarterback. It’s a lie that fast and the Falcons should not have drafted him, knowing that you just gave Kurt cousins all that money. He could’ve went to a team that needed a quarterback, like the Raiders

Kirk aint gonna help the rookie take his job!! But then again why not, kirk already got his bags!! Lol

They want to be talked about this spring

People will hate the this pick until it works out for them. Watch, this was a good pick

One of the advantages of a young qb is the first few years of his career u get him at a lower payscale. They basically lost out on that.

When this pick was called I couldn't believe it but then I realized Kurt Cousins is 35 so why not get penix let him sit and develop under a vet

This is like the 28-3 of draft pics lmfao

I feel bad for Penix. This could screw his whole career up, he’s about to turn 24, and now sitting on the bench for 4 years before he even gets a shot

Why would this be a draft stunner? Didn’t Atlanta just drafted Bijan Robinson while having Tyler Algeier🤷🏿

Kirk has had some injury problems and is 35. I really dont see the big issue with this pick. Like the GM said they are thinking of 3ish years from now

Kirk Cousins find out his replacement before he play his first Atlanta Falcons game take your L with pride Kirk 😂

Cousins will be the Falcons QB for 2 or 3 years. Pennix will be qb 1 by year 3. Cousins has a 2 year contract with options for 4 years.

Not a falcons fan but if anyone else did this they would say they want the rookie to learn behind the veteran. Not a big deal if you ask me

The Packers did it with Rodgers and the Chiefts did with Mahones . Both those Quarterbacks became hall of fame quarterbacks . Both those guys help bring super rings to those teams . I understand that The Falcons just paid Cousins alot of money for four year . It might well for the Falcons ones Cousins is gone .

Great pick

This was a good pick honestly. He can definitely learn from cousins for like 2 yrs atleast. Its a for the future pick and even injuries which Cousins is getting up there in age.

This could be a good.pick up for them, if it pans out though and he becomes what he is projected to be, it's not a guarantee with cousins either, only 2 years are guaranteed out of the 4/140 he signed, as well his age,coming off a major injury, with a new team, coaches, etc, it's a toss up. Jr sits for two years, learns from a prob bowl QB, and it could be a J Love scenario.

Everybody mocking the packers now !!

I don't see why this is stupid. You do realize kirk just had a major injury we have no true back up. I'm with the pick. The team is very young and talented.
