The Penix rises again, because you can’t keep a good Penix down. This I know firsthand, but WTF were the Falcons thinking. True to form, Arthur Blank and his merry band of bozos go and do something totally stupid with their first round pick. The Falcons track record in the first few rounds of the draft over the past 15 years is abysmal. They’ve squandered so much draft capital, it’s mind boggling.
Why the hell do you sign Cousins to a 4 year, $180m contract and then go draft a QB at the 8th spot? It makes no sense when they proclaim they want to win now and need so much help in so many spots, especially on defense. This isn’t commentary on if Penix will or won’t be good; rather, it’s directed at the seeming lack of having a sound, cohesive strategy. If Penix is your guy at #8, then don’t sign Cousins. Instead sink a chunk of that cash in free agent defensive players and a less expensive veteran QB Penix can learn from for a few years.
Last night illustrates perfectly why the Falcons haven’t won a Super Bowl and why they’re years away from being one of the NFL’s upper echelon teams. Discuss.
