Michael Penix - Atlanta Falcons

[Hoosier987]

Penix is the man!

[Hovadipo]

Going to be hard pressed to find a better game than that this season. High quality all around. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

I'm happy he's doing well but do we really think he'd be putting up Heisman candidate numbers if he'd stayed at IU?

No he would have been crushed to death by now

Great to hear. May have to step away from cbb this afternoon and watch Penix at the combine.

I wouldn't take him before the 4th, but that doesn't mean I don't respect him as a player and person. 

Kid has had 3 MAJOR injuries, is not a stellar athlete, and struggles to make plays with his feet.... 

I think he can be one fantastic backup in the league and don't take that comment lightly... being in the top 32-40 people in the world in your profession is incredibly impressive.

Side question: Every time I watched Washington I thought Rome Odunze was a monster. He looks to my untrained eye every bit as good as Harrison Jr. but football people seem to pretty unanimously put Harrison Jr on a different level. What am I not seeing?

Well--- being considered the 2nd best WR to MHJ is a pretty solid spot to be as an athlete, right? 

To be real-- I really don't know man.

Now we'll see if he'll be very good at Atlanta. 

Taken No. 8 by the Falcons.

Right after signing Cousins to a gajillion bucks. Really weird. But Penix is getting paid, all the power to him.

hopefully Cousins embraces being a good veteran and helps Penix acclimate for a year. Maybe two.

Cousins is pissed that ATL drafted a QB high in the draft.

I would be too. Complete ignorance on ATLs part.

He's going to die in Atlanta, isn't he?

I'm sure dogs in the ATL aren't too keen on the idea of drafting a black, left-handed QB named Michael.. but hey.... 

[Hoosierfan2017]

They gave Cousins a billion dollars guaranteed and then used the #8 pick on a quarterback lmao. Just hilariously bad decision making. 

And I doubt Penix is too pleased about it either, honestly.
