My son felt Penix was clearly the 4th best QB in the draft. Surprised to see some NFL personnel people agree — not just whoever is trading with Atlanta for him, but also the teams that haven’t jumped forward to grab McCarthy.

Who knows who is right, obviously.

I think he easily had better tape than McCarthy last year (even though I hate the pressure response and don't like the short accuracy), but I thought the age and injury history would scare teams a lot more than it did.

BB shitting on the Falcons for not trading back for Penix

super weird for Atl to create a QB controversy with a newly signed 180 million dollar QB

The Falcons wanted Cousins so bad that they likely tampered in getting him and are going to get bombed by the league, then drafted a QB any way. Amazing incompetence.

TWO quarterbacks now after using your number EIGHT pick to get Penix. But the Falcons could use a wide receiver or THREE.

They have London and Pitts after drafting Bijan last year. Skill positions were well covered but teams can always use Oline help and I'm sure they could have fit in the top edge on their roster.

Rome, Keenan Allen and DJ Moore is a pretty awesome WR group for Caleb to throw to.

Hopefully the O-line doesn't get him killed before he has a chance to get them the ball.
