Michael Penix Jr. In, Kirk Cousins Out

[Mike FF Today 710]

There's a new starting QB in Atlanta...

"Falcons coach Raheem Morris: “After review we have made the decision Michael Penix Jr. will be the Atlanta Falcons starting quarterback moving forward. This was a football decision and we are fully focused on preparing the team for Sunday's game against the New York Giants.”

About time, they need to see what the rookie can do.

well, 2 of the last 3 games are what I'd consider to be soft opponents.

so if you are gonna make a move like this, the timing is right.    I am a bit surprised given that they won this week and are in a playoff race, but I'm guessing Penix has impressed in practice.

It will be interesting to see how this goes.....

Maybe Penix can unlock Pitts? A guy can dream right?

Drake London's value just tanked.

Such a weird move by ATL to give Cousins $100 million guaranteed, then immediately draft his replacement and bench him.

Guess you can’t call em cheap though!

My thoughts as well ... Still stupid and makes no sense unless penix learned something from Kirk  and takes them to the Superbowl... Then maybe they can justify it

Quit talking about whether Penix is in or out. It's inappropriate. Especially when discussing Cousins.

so the question is..... how has penix looked in camp?  does anyone know how productive hes likely to be?

its a nice matchup.  any predictions?
