Falcons Draft Michael Penix At No. 8 Overall
April 25th, 2024
Washington QB Michael Penix.
The Bucs fans who wanted Tampa Bay to draft University of Washington beastly-armed quarterback Michael Penix got a consolation prize tonight.
They’ll get to watch him face the Bucs twice annually. Maybe.
Penix was gobbled up by the Falcons with the No. 8 overall pick. He’ll back up Kirk Cousins, who has a gargantuan two-year contract. But he’s also coming off an Achilles tear.
Regardless, the Falcons made a move for the future, rather than a win-now move. Interesting play.
Joe is very pleased. Atlanta passed on a beast that could have helped them a lot this season. Short-term, the Falcons drafting Penix is good for Tampa Bay.

I love it. Overpay for Kirk and then draft a guy who sucks. LOL!

Penix sucks? What a moron.

And I thought I had issues.

It’s a total bust pick for them. Time he plays he’s going be like 27 already. 8 th overall? Totally blew it

I guess the Falcons are betting the vet tutoring of Kirk Cousins will act as a Penix enhancer. But as a Bucs fan, I don’t have Penix envy.

Artie Blank just made the pick in Atlanta.
Brilliant.

If you’re going to sit a guy, I’d take JJ instead.

I have never laughed so much in my life at the people on this board who wanted the Tampa Bay Bucs to draft a QB on the first round because I doubt more than 2 of the 6 QB drafted so far will be the starting QB of the team they were drafted by in 5 years. I also doubt any of them will take their team to the Super Bowl which some of you insisted Mayfield was incapsable of doing but these guys could.
In fact I’d say in 5 years time, Mayfield will have had a better carrer then at least 80% of them. Atlanta is the biggest joke I’ve ever seen paying$250 million or so for a decent not great QB 35 years old coming off an achilles injury and drafting a 2nd round QB at number 8. Beyond belief!

Guys gonna be 27 years old at the earliest before he even sees the field.

Unbelievable. Who has ever spent that kind of money in the offseason and then drafted a quarterback controversy?

Hey GirlsHairKen – you must not watch football when it counts. Anyone that knows football might have watched how Michigan neutered the soft Penix. He showed his junk on national TV.
Look in the mirror to see a feminine moron.

Has the Atlanta GM been drug tested?

Thank-You ATL.
April 25th, 2024 at 11:41 pm
And, Thank-You Too, Green Bay!

Also, to Dallas for trading their pick to Detroit… Even though that is a scary pick, it allowed the Lions to step up and take another slot of the board. The draft could not have fallen any better for us than how it did.

It’s pretty wild that Raheem has learned absolutely nothing in all these years. Made his 1st pick a bust QB because he liked hanging out with him.

The Falcons QB room will have more conversation about ACLs than their playback. Bufoons!

Penix went to a team with 2 good runningbacks and a good receiver core and they are preparing for their future while we are settling for meadicorey. We have a fan base that thinks Baker Mayfield is a superbowl quarterback. If Penix don’t pand out at least they tried. We will be tanking either this year or next year watch and see!!

Rah Rah does it again I believe he drafted Josh Freeman in the first round when he was here. Looks like he going to be gone after a couple of years. Which chaos in the NFL south is good for us. Looks like our Bucs are the only team with stability in the division.

Letsbucinggo. Where are we stable at I know it ain’t quarterback !! You guys kill me with celebrating meadicorey.

NFL teams today don’t care about these contracts anymore they will move on from a player regardless of the dead money just like Denver and us by paying Brady 30 million to sit at home.
