  • What is wrong with them drafting the players they wanted and not what the media and fans wanted them to draft.
  • @jerryozone5190
    Get over it. If Minnesota resigned Cousins for the same contract and then, drafted Penix, nobody would have an issue with it. The same people dissing Atlanta for doing it would be suggesting it was shrewd and a smart move to both protect the present and build for the future. The same logic applies to Atlanta's unorthodox decision and people calling the move foolish are projecting their ignorance.

    Whoever still has a problem with the falcons pick has a problem
  • The falcons werent in the bottom 5 in all defensive numbers...Michael Holly where did you get these numbers from..they were 16th pass,16th rush,16th scoring and 18th in total defense...Come on you can do better
  • They were 11th in Defense. Where are they getting bottom five from. 😮
  • @coachdave3420
    The whole reaction to this pick has been littered with racism
  • If y’all think Arthur Blank didn’t ok this pick ya’ll don’t know Atlanta. Nothing moves in Atlanta without Blank giving the go ahead💯
  • @rawrj
    This whole argument about Atlanta getting a stop-gap really pisses me off. WE HAD STOPGAPS FOR LIKE 5 YEARS!
  • @Legal_Savant
    My problem with shows like this is that they don't do their homework. I get it, the Falcons weren't must see tv last year, but if you're going to talk about them, then at least know what you're talking about. "The Falcons were bottom 5 in all defensive categories last year." No they were not, not even close. Last year was their best defensive unit since 2017. Ryan Neilson had those guys balling at times last year, defense damn near carried them to the playoffs until injuries ultimately finished them. Do better guys, do your homework on teams you don't actively watch, it hurts your credibility. Just saying.
  • Falcons are living rent free in all these sports analysts and YouTubers heads 😂😂😂
  • Lombardi mad they didnt hire his baby daddy bellichick and the rug rat staff he brings , he probably wanted Lombardi as his GM !!
  • I’ll put house money on that “anonymous” fromer GM being Michael Lombardi. Went off last week regarding the Penix Jr. pick on his podcast and you could feel the racial undertones whenever he mentions Terry Fontenot.
  • @leeforsyth2036
    Julio Jones, Santonio Holmes, Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Ryan, all four of them deserve to be in the Hall of Fame for what they all accomplished separate, yet together in their lifetime, their time of life
  • Heard another content creator talking about how tough a situation the New York Jets are in.... aging QB with a huge contract coming off an injury with no solid succession plan in place....if only they had an NFL caliber QB who was, by many, declared to be 2nd best oprion in the draft class to learn the system and the NFL behind an experienced and capable starter so that when the time comes to transition to the new QB, he is completely comfortable with the system and ready to take the reigns....if only they had the wisdom and foresight to plan and prepare for the inevitable future.......
  • @noahbythelake
    echo chamber much... if anything it shows how YOU feel about black gm's...
  • @V12_smoke
    Penix might have to wait 5 games. Y’all really think Kirk will play the whole season. I think the takes are one sided here.
  • Respect you guys opinions, but GM and Coach see it differently. Did you see the offense last season and you wonder why the defense statistically how it was.
  • @VLad-xe2ng
    Bro lost all credibility when he said Falcons had a bottom 5 defense in all categories. They were ranked middle of the pack overall.
  • @champ4jc
    Are yall hearing this kind of frustration actually from the Falcons players? Because if the team actually believes in this regime, then the conjecture about how the team feels is moot.
  • People think the falcons stumbled into Penix..they had people fooled..Back when we 1st signed cousins...we could have kept a young Ridder to sit behind kirk for 4 or 5 years but we kept a old Heineke..if ridder wasn't good enough for QB #2 why would Heineke be good enough?..if kirk get hurt we would be in the SAME EXACT situation as last year..Good skill position but nobody to get them the ball
