Atlanta will have to take a 60+ mill cap hit to cut him

Cousins and Stafford are both 36 years old. I believe Stafford is older by around 6 months.

Watched some of the game in between the Rams game. Thought Penix looked pretty good yesterday. Not great by any means, but accurate and pretty good arm.

Coaching issues? WTF? lol

The Falcons desperately needed a new QB.. and paid desperate money. There were risks, of course.

Then.. they saw what they believed to be a true QB of the future available.. and made the pick.

Where in any of that is bad process? Don't we know how hard it is to get a QB?

If there was any mistake.. it was in waiting too long to put Penix in, imo. Cousins just didn't recover enough movement to be effective.

If the Rams were in a position where a QB of similar stature was available.. they'd be dumb not to pick him, imo.

I agree with this take.

They overpaid for Cousins but I get the rationale for why they did what they did.
