About a month ago, I asked NFL execs why teams are giving up on young QBs so quickly and if there’s anything they’ve learnt from teams like the Packers or Chiefs. Today is a good time to bring it back up after what Atlanta did last night: FULL ARTICLE: the33rdteam.com/nfl-execs-soun…
@MySportsUpdate Hurts and love weren’t 25 when they were coming out of college
@MySportsUpdate Yea except Penix is 24 coming off 2 ACL years, and Love and Mahomes were younger and could afford being sat for a year or two. Like what…
@MySportsUpdate Falcons PR team doing overtime
@MySportsUpdate Totally cool with them taking Penix if they love him, but they *just* signed Kirk. Philly and GB were in vastly different spots with their existing starters + the draft capital spent was also much different. One way or another, it's poor process from Atlanta.
@MySportsUpdate so don't sign Cousins a month ago? we knew with a great degree of certainty Penix would be available for the Falcons at that point. the process is inexcusable
@MySportsUpdate Falcons mainlining copium right now. They absolutely cooked themselves with this. I legitimately feel bad for their fans.
@MySportsUpdate Actually, young prospects being drafted to good teams picking in the back half of the draft is different than old prospects being drafted to bad teams picking in the top ten.
