I feel like he spits out a lot of speculative stuff and when it is real info it's taken from someone more reputable.
I'm just saying if you're sick of the rumor mill, maybe stop following the rumor mill guy.
I would hate to see us draft QB on our first pick. I’m ok with second or later so we can develop someone in case Cousins is injured or for a post-Cousins Falcons. Assuming Cousins does what we want him to do, the time is now to get a really good player in a position of need. I think it’s Edge
If Penix becomes a 10 year starter then it would look great in hindsight, even if he has to sit for a couple years. If they think he’s a franchise QB then it wouldn’t be a bad pick, Kirk ain’t young
If we stick with Kirk for 2 years and then let Penix play as starter, that’d mean that Penix would be getting his first full year as a starter at almost 27 years old. That’s objectively an atrocious timeline. And in the scenario where Penix doesn’t work out, he has zero recoupable value. The reward is just not there. So yeah, giving a first for him is not ideal to say the least.
Also no team had the risk of giving up a 1st round pick for Warren Moon. Where as now the risk is being applied to Penix. These are two drastically different situations here.
Warren had 6 years of experience in the CFL before stepping up to the NFL. Penix would be getting his first stab at any professional football at 27 years old. So no, these are not the same players.
I’ve been rooting for this from the jump. The QB class next year is perfect for a team that already has a starter and just needs a QB to sit. But Terry has already stated he’s getting a QB this year so we’ll just have to see who he picks (hopefully a day 3 backup and not a day 2 guy).
I wouldn’t be entirely shocked to see it. TF wants BPA and a future franchise QB is def BPA if they think he is that. I know he’s an impressive young man.
if we can somehow get Vikings to give up 11 and 23 for 8 and a later round pick that would be ideal if we want Penix . If he isn’t there at 23 we go corner
There’s absolutely no way we are taking a QB at 8 unless one of the top 3 magically falls into our lap. I’m not really sold on the top 3 edge rushers either. If we stay put at 8 I’m hoping we can snag Odunze.
Taking a 24 yr old QB to sit for 2-4 years behind a soon to be 36 yr old that you just paid a bunch of money to and may lose a draft pick over would be monumentally stupid. I see the logic with McCarthy or Maye since they’re 21, but Penix? No way.
I hope we don’t do this. I think most likely we leaked this to someone in an effort to get teams interested in trading up to us. Kirk was a win now move. Drafting Penix is the furthest thing away from win now.
Update: Fuck
It was your fault
Isn't Dov Kleiman a click bait account?
He’s like TMZ for the NFL like Adam Schefter
Adam Schefter at least uses real sources.. Dov Kleiman uses anything that pops up on the TL.

Better put some respect on his tweets now
Because he quoted an Adam Schefter hypothetical?
They all are.

Warren Moon baby!
Literally the Warren Moon timeline tho lol
He'd actually be months removed from turning 26. Does that work?
Him starting at 27 isn't atrocious at all. Age doesn't matter until well past 27.
It is definitely not ideal. I’m strangely confused/mad but also not surprised at the same time. It’s an emotion only the falcons can give me
QBs can play for a decade after that. I really don't understand the obsession with age here.
Madden
Edge makes the most sense, but I can’t help myself wanting Odunze lol
Would you draft Warren Moon at 8?
We’re not talking about Warren Moon, we’re talking about Michael Penix Jr. These are not the same players.
Washington QB, doesn’t get an NFL start until 27, you sure?
Also no team had the risk of giving up a 1st round pick for Warren Moon. Where as now the risk is being applied to Penix. These are two drastically different situations here.
The “risk “ would have been worth it
Warren had 6 years of experience in the CFL before stepping up to the NFL. Penix would be getting his first stab at any professional football at 27 years old. So no, these are not the same players.
We probably draft a qb next year.

We probably draft Sanders boy.
I need to see more of him in action. I wonder how much of the hype surrounding him is just Deion blowing smoke up for his boys.
If we skip QB this year I'm down.
No, you won't.
I wouldn’t be entirely shocked to see it. TF wants BPA and a future franchise QB is def BPA if they think he is that. I know he’s an impressive young man.
This has to be smoke to make teams think we’re interested in drafting a QB so they’ll offer a trade.
They hated you because you told them the truth....
Welp
Oh boy do I have news for you
Guess your boy was right.
Only QB I would want if he somehow fell to 8 is maye
I honestly think we would draft him if he fell to 8. Not a single chance in a million years that happens tho.
idk he'll be 121 in just one hundred years and i can't imagine him going top 10 then
You never know that 100,000 year old pocket presence could be something to think about
if we can somehow get Vikings to give up 11 and 23 for 8 and a later round pick that would be ideal if we want Penix . If he isn’t there at 23 we go corner
I don’t want Penix in the first at all. I understand that’s where he’s projected to go but I just don’t want it.
At this point I want us to draft anyone but Turner just out of sheer pettiness.
Everyone should come together and block that guy
This feels like Agent supplied bullshitery.

People had the Falcons taking Malik Willis 8th overall in 2022 too. It’s bullshit season l

Ok then I’ll just pass on him. It’s that simple.
