Now that I've woken up with a bit of a hangover and some time to think about it... I still don't get why the fuck the Falcons picked Michael Penix at 8. And I like Penix.
@UrinatingTree The only thing I can think of is that they signed Cousins to mentor Penix, sort of like Alex Smith back when he was with the Chiefs.
@UrinatingTree Penix is going to be snapped in half if he plays behind that O-Line.
@UrinatingTree The fact that Cousins didn't know until it happened, the fact that Penix will be in his late 20s by the end of Kirk's contract, all of it is just weird
@UrinatingTree Also why do they not let Kirk Cousins now beforehand
@UrinatingTree If Cousins gets injured (or in some other way is unable to play at an NFL level) and Penix saves the season, it's genius. If literally anything else happens, it's possibly the dumbest draft move ever.
@UrinatingTree This smells like Marcus Mariota and Desmond Ridder from a couple years ago
