Re: 2024 NFL MOCK DRAFT EXTRAVAGANZA
What this boils down to is people are finding reasons why this was a bad decision. If that works for you, then rock on. Except it won’t be a bad decision if Penix is the longterm answer in Atlanta. The numbers guys will tell you six ways to Sunday why it’s never a good idea to bunt. $160 mil seems a...

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
I think the simple point is you do one or you do the other but you don't do both. And the problem with doing both is everybody gets pissed off that the Falcons fucked it all up. Except - and this has been my point the entire time - nobody knows jack shit . If Penix works out, nobody will give a cra...

Re: 2024 NFL MOCK DRAFT EXTRAVAGANZA
Seriously man, you’re in the territory for worst fucking NFL take in the history of this board. Take the L and go home, you’re embarrassing yourself.

Re: 2024 NFL MOCK DRAFT EXTRAVAGANZA
Yeah, in a vacuum, you take Penix at 8... That's not (for me) the argument. They are trying to spin this that they are setting up for the future but trying to win now. That isn't how they sold this to Kirk, who I'm sure would've loved Odunze or as bri said someone on the OL to protect his old ass. ...

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.

Say what now? yes... they will because that money could have been used to fill other holes. A lot of em. I think most folk’s blind spot is they don’t view Penix the same way Atlanta does.

Re: 2024 NFL MOCK DRAFT EXTRAVAGANZA
Except they dont know who the best QB will be this time next year. Where was Joe Burrow on the draft list before his final year at LSU? Was and still is asinine. The only way to tell if the pick was asinine is if Penix doesn’t workout longterm in Atlanta, cuz nobody’s gonna G-A-F if they paid Cousi...

Re: 2024 NFL MOCK DRAFT EXTRAVAGANZA
The practical argument goes they were sitting at 8, and next year the best QB in the class is freakin Shedeur Sanders. They liked what they saw in a number of QBs to be a longterm answer at QB, so they signed Cousins to a front-loaded deal to get whomever landed to year 3. It just happened to be Pen...

I'm legit serious when I say (I've said it for a few years) signing Judge to that contract was a massive error.
They'd have to convince Stanton to waive his NTC to get traded, but Soto is definitely a guy you would sign longterm.
