Mina Kimes' takedown of the Falcons' selection of Michael Penix Jr: "I find the justification to be somewhat logically incoherent... if you think you're going to be good, which is why you pay Kirk Cousins $100 million guaranteed, you're doing your team a disservice by not making your team better so that you can compete now... it just doesn't add up for the team or the player."

@awfulannouncing Cousins is 35, coming off a major injury, hasn’t won anything. Smart move by Falcons. Mina is wrong and so is AA.
@awfulannouncing When these quarterbacks were drafted They all sat as backup quarterbacks for a few years before they were given the keys to start 1. Brett Farve 2. Aaron Rodgers 3. Tom Brady 4. Patrick Mahomes 5. Lamar Jackson (All sat and learned as backup quarterbacks their rookie year)
I’m an Atlanta falcons fan and a HUGE believer in Penix. Up until free agency I wanted Penix BAD…but once they signed Kirk (something I was and still am against particularly at Patrick Mahomes money) I thought that went out the window. I’m really happy to have Penix but I’ll be honest when I say they definitely went about this realllllllly badly. If they were even considering taking a first rounder why did they sign Kirk right away?(in fact we’re looking at tampering charges for that one). I also believe he has a No trade clause in his contract. I really wish they hadn’t signed Kirk and spent the money on defense. I know ppl call MPJ old but he is the same age as Jayden Daniels (for a couple more weeks) I honestly think they just regret the Kirk signing, the falcons have had SUCH a SHITTY qb situation for the last 5 seasons that the first kinda cute girl that flirted with them they asked her to marry them.
@awfulannouncing @AshNicoleMoss The moment Penix was available on the board, Cousins officially became a bridge QB. Credit to the Falcons for making a decision on the fly in a league covered and consumed like robots.
@awfulannouncing This season Kirk’s contract ranks where based on the highest paid QB? Is Danny Dimes in the same range who else is around that money Kyler probably higher now that I think about it he’s under Pat,Dak,Josh,Justin,Joe,Lamar,Jalen, Matt,DeShawn,Russell🤣,Jared soon, Big Baker
@awfulannouncing @minakimes is so right on this. #riseup
@awfulannouncing I know Kyler just got paid a boatload and y’all the ones that said move on from him and it was frowned upon stop, frowning on the black man because he made a very smart decision
