Re: 2024 NFL MOCK DRAFT EXTRAVAGANZA
I think there would be the same head-scratching regardless of whether it was McCarthy, Penix or Nix. All three have their pros and cons. Not that it matters, but I think Penix probably stands a chance to be a pretty decent pro QB. I just simply don’t buy the argument that this was a guy who you can’...

Re: 2024 NFL MOCK DRAFT EXTRAVAGANZA
For whatever it’s worth, the draft is such a crapshoot that it’s not worth trying to pre-judge the decision TOO much. My opinion of course is that’s it’s fairly indefensible but the obvious fact is if Penix becomes the next Lamar Jackson or Patrick Mahomes in 2026 then it’s a genius move. Of course...

Re: 2024 NFL MOCK DRAFT EXTRAVAGANZA
A three-game improvement with Cousins, an actual contributor in ‘24 with the 8th pick, a new coaching regime, and that division is not out of the question at all. Crazier shit happens every NFL season. This is part of my point when I said they viewed Penix as bird in hand. There’s no guarantee Atla...

Re: 2024 NFL MOCK DRAFT EXTRAVAGANZA
Yeah the argument that next year’s QB crop is weak is bullshit. I mean, it may be but to pay him what they did ATL had to believe Cousins could hold down the fort for two to three years. That’s plenty of time to draft a QB in 2025 or 2026.

BTW, and not for nothing, but I don't know that most ppl are looking at the flip side of this. You think Penix is psyched about this? Dude is OLD for a draftee, he's ready now (IMO) and now he's going to what will most surely be a tough QB room. I'd be livid if I were him. The point of getting draf...

I really hate to generalize but so much of the South is trash compared to the rest of the country. There’s nice towns and nice people to be sure but on the whole just such a weird, trashy vibe here.
