  1. Acho expecting M Penix to play like Lamar did and score 5 TDs against the giants is insane. Dude is making his first start. Acho you never produced like that to have this kind of expectations for players

  2. Absolutely not, in any other conventional situation, Micheal Penix would be already out there anyway, for example if the falcons don't draft him and some other team drafts him -OR- if the falcons don't sign Kirk, Micheal Penix had to know that it was a possibility he could be a starter on an NFL team when he entered the draft

  3. Penix Jr. is STILL a ROOKIE, ALL the rookie's qb's this year have had highs and low's. Atlanta still owes cousins $62.5 MILLION this year, $27.5 MILLION next year and $10 MILLION the following year. I would have stayed with cousins let him take a Beating out on the field, I NEED TO GET SOMETHING FOR MY MONEY$$$$$$$$

  4. Easy to settle both shady and acho's points. Essentially, Penix' lack of experience says he shouldnt have to win the game for them, but his top 10 talent demands he shouldnt lose it for them either. There you go. Easily settled.

  5. I think it’s too much bc of the timing. 3 games when some teams are already in playoff mindset. He ain’t have a chance to get his feet wet yet. And That sound dumb sayin they had to give 10 good games. Yea starting the season off the pressure game 1 game vs game 16 with playoffs on the line not the same .

  6. Acho and chase is crazy. A rookie QB in week 16, needing to win 3 games in a row? If he wins 2/3 that’s great for experience. 1/3 is probably most likely. To expect him to step in and take them to the playoffs is crazy.

  7. Cousins 36 coming off an Achilles…lets give him $100M. Then lets draft Penix Jr…two acl injuries against 18-20yr olds. Blew a 25 point lead in the SB. Has a coach carousel. Hires a HC who was once a HC before. Bellichick pretty much said the current GM is clueless. Good luck Penix playing against grown men under the Falcons management and umbrella. Team is a circus

  8. ACHO TALKS WAY TOO MUCH!!! IF HE WOULD USE 50% OF THE WORDS HE USES, AND CONSULT A DICTIONARY FOR HIS MANY MALAPROPISMS, THE SHOW WOULD BE FANTASTIC. BUT HE TALKS FAR, FAR, TOO MUCH; AND REPEATS HIMSELF CONSTANTLY. HE SEEMS TO TAKE INANE POSITIONS JUST TO GET A REACTION. AND THE FAKE LENSES. DUDE. PASS OFF MORE. YOU HAVE GREAT TEAMMATES.

  9. Don’t forget that Penix was in college for like 6 years. He’s not your average rookie off of that. Plus the season damn near over. Basically had almost a full season to study and watch and get used to things. Expecting him to just be steady when he was drafted at #8 on top of all of that ain’t asking that much like Shady and James is saying

  10. I totally understand the whole he is a rookie and never played a NFL game, but they are playing at home with a favorable matchup against the 2-12 Giants and I’m not gonna lie. COUSINS was literally having a historically bad five game run 1 touchdown to 9 interceptions is incredible. I mean, let’s be honest at this point. It would be very extremely difficult for any quarterback to play that bad so let’s say Penix does have a decent up-and-down game. It will be close and the Falcons can squeeze out a win against the Giants at home with the playoffs on the line stick more reliably on the run game. The Giants are one of the worst teams against the rush in the NFL. I expect Robinson to take most of the load for the rookie quarterback his number one best friend should be the running game and do not turn the ball over.

  12. It's house money, as long as the Falcons see it that way. QB is the most important piece to find. Cousins seems like a good guy, and understands he's getting older. I think he will certainly help the rookie. It's worth his contract, to help the Rook become the franchise. No pressure. Good luck kid.
    Go Bills!

  13. This is Cousins team. If the kid can't make the playoffs, it's still ultimately Cousins blame. He was playing terrible. I hope fans don't turn on the kid if he can't make the playoffs. It is still on Cousins. Give the kid a chance, he's possibly your franchise. Good luck.
    Again; Go Bills!
