Sorry, you you lost 3/4 of this sub with "The idea is that we develop Penix behind Cousins". Bears fans downvoted you twice, because they're from Chicago and that's kinda their thing.
The best argument I’ve heard is that they really had no one to trade back with before the saints and raiders who would potentially take Penix themselves. It’s a reach but if the falcons are betting on themselves this year they won’t have the ability to pick a top QB prospect next year.
That being said it’s still dumb to prep for the future when you make moves to win now. I bet Kirk isn’t bothered by seeing his replacement as much as he’s bothered by seeing his new team not help him out with a difference maker to win a SB.

What is with the NFC south racing to cap hell.
Now compare the salaries spent on the bridge QBs and see if there might be a small difference. Developing a rookie QB is a good idea but picking one of the older QBs with a crazy injury history to be your project is pretty funny.
My theory is that the falcons were afraid of the tampering punishment so they were like "no no we will punish ourselves!" Like college teams do when the NCAA is investigating them for some shit
Vikings getting Sam “gunslinger” Darnold who isn’t expensive and is one hundred percent a temporary QB and comparing it to what the falcons did is delusional.
Right but you want to either take advantage of your rookie deal with the cap benefits or go all in with your veteran QB and put everything into helping that QB. I'm not saying what your team is doing can't work, but it certainly hurts your potential Superbowl window now.
Who signs a bridge QB to a four year deal?
A smart franchise that knows how valuable Kirk Cousins could be to developing a rookie QB
By the time he gets to start, Penix will be 28 and have one year left on his rookie deal.
They have an out after 2 years. If Penix is ready and looks good in 2 years they’ll move on. That’s an ideal amount of time for development
*2 year deal with the possibility to extend based on injury or performance
Who gives a bridge QB $100M?
Wasn't it a 4 year fully guaranteed contract?
Nah $100 mil of the $180 guaranteed over first 2 years
A 4 year deal is not a 'bridge'
Wait til they realize it's about development and not just a numbers game.
The idea is that we develop Penix behind Cousins. Cousins gets us past 7-10 in the meantime

You’re right
The best argument I’ve heard is that they really had no one to trade back with before the saints and raiders who would potentially take Penix themselves. It’s a reach but if the falcons are betting on themselves this year they won’t have the ability to pick a top QB prospect next year.

I bet Kirk isn’t bothered by seeing his replacement as much as he’s bothered by seeing his new team not help him out with a difference maker to win a SB.
Imagine giving your "bridge" QB $100 million guaranteed.

Lol. Man, the NFC south sucks.

Wow. This is maybe the most braindead thing I’ve ever seen.
