You have it all wrong. I think Morris wanted Cousins since the two of them were in Washington together. It appears Fontenot selected Penix as insurance against the very implosion of Cousons we have seen. That makes him smart for exercising the bold move of foresight. He saved the franchise from being held hostage to another aging quarterback.
That's an interesting perspective I haven't heard yet. I think Fontenot is amazing at fighting the cap, but not who we need to be a contender. It's what he did in New Orleans before he came here
There may be some true elements in your point, but this guy is wrong and off the mark. The coach nor the GM is in any danger this season. It was made obviously clear to us all last season who is running things. It wasnt Rich McCay or anyone else except the Owner Arthur Blanks, that's who's running the show, thars who wanted Cousins and spend mad money to get him, that's who wanted Penix if he was available and they got him. Cousins epic failure is on Arthur and no one else, and I'm absolutely sure that they didnt get the green light to bench him until after the Raiders game because of the imp,ications on Arthur for pushing the deal and massive amounts of money spent to get him.
I think both Coach Ra and Terry Fontenot were on board with the Penix draft pick. In that workout with Penix, they both were very impressed with his talent.
@@samueldavis1524 Oh. for sure and me too. You need a Quarterback and have a high Draft pick Penix has to be on your radar. He was a long term College Starter and he led his team to the National Championship Title game coming very close to winning. His scouting and combine reports were very good. Yeah, they were high on him, but Arthur Blank made it crystal clear last year after he fires Head Coach Arthur Smith and redirected the Falcons President Rich McCay's duties, that he was running thing. No one hosted or held Press Conference except Arthur Blanks. The GM wasn't event present and you'd expect him to be addressing the Press, not the owner. Blank wanted Cousins and committed to paying what ever it took to get him. He was public on that. I think the GM would have preferred to go with Russell Wilson paired with Penix which made far more sense and was less risky and less costly in terms of money but got you an experienced QB with a record of winning while Penix develops. Arthur Blanks wanted it a different way and that's what they did. Now he also owns this disaster and Cousins failure.
Nall he hasn't!!! This Cousins contract is ridiculous and Fontenot has been kicking the QB can down the road to long!! Then most of his draft picks have not pan out!! Free agency acquisitions besides Jessie Bates III have been a bust.
@BDaMan-et2qh it's more up to the coaching staff to put these proven players in position to produce. And yes he took a chance on cousins it was a bad deal now but if cousins would have took falcons deep in playoffs it wouldn't look as bad but how could he know kurt would fall off like he did . I just feel like it's more on the coaching then Terry and they all agreed to bring in these players. And every pick in the draft isn't going to turn into ss players. There are 32 gms and they all make bad picks in hind sight.
You act like Penix is going to be that guy lol. We dont know yet. Ridder had a just as good if not better college career as Penix did and player nearly as long. Doesn't always mean much at the next level. We shall see.
He can only make the obvious pick or choice. He got lucky on a couple, but the majority of drafts and signings from him are garbage. They just wasted 180m on a broken QB that caused us to have to spend a 1st on a backup and now we see why. So 180m and a 1st round pick at one position when we needed to address many. Think what you want, but if I spent 220 million during an off season... I wouldnt have the same record as last year. Needed an EDGE... signed 45 interior defensive lineman and keeps acting like his busts are one season away... every season. Dudes a joke.

Lets assume that we believe the lie that Terry is really the GM and McKay isn't still running things. Yes, of course he should be fired. He can't draft at all and before anyone says, but Bijan. But London etc. All his 1st round picks have been top 10s and he just took one of the highest rated at the position and he didn't even get the best one available. On top of that Pitts is exactly what his scouting report that the entire world could see, talented but lazy and not worth it. Basically, every other pick has been a bust. Most being horrible. His free agents have been players everyone else said was good or just guys the Bears cut. We need to get the losers like McKay, Terry and Morris out of the building and bring in a winner. Then build an OL and DL worth a damn.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂, this just truly amazes me,,, when they first announced that they were getting Kirk cousins, everybody was hooray love this choice to death.

Sad part is, Cousins could go to another team and look like an amazing QB! On paper it looks like he would be a great fit for him (good #1 wr, good #2, highest drafted TE, great RB duo) but for some reason it just doesn't work! Penix should be able to get this team going, if they use him right! I hope they don't use him as a statue QB!
No athlete except you know what Petersen guy from Vikings ever recovers from major surgery fully until year 2. Took my daughter two in soccer , Ronald Acuna looked crap year 1 back. I see Cousins back to himself for Titans next year orrrrr what if Penix sux? Maybe Cousins will get it back next season
Falcon’s franchise really needs to investigate further and find out who pulled the Kirk cousins trigger that caused the murdered of all falcons fans. We deserve better, beautiful stadium, amazing fans and good players.
I just support the decision. The Falcons make the decisions, I support the team. Penix had six years of college football, I think the organization has a plan of how they want the offense to look. If they want to move on from Terry Fontenot, they have Ryan Pace who was the GM of the Chicago Bears in the building.
Kirk can be petty be he has to realize this whole benching is nobodies fault but his own... He had waaaay too many opportunities to correct his play but couldn't get it done.
its not a huge remaining contract, only would be 27 mill to pay kirk after team traded for him, and giving up a 6th or 5th is not that bad. and also there are many teams that need a QB
What kind of gm do you think you’re going to get if you tell the new gm he is going to be handcuffed to Raheem. I want Fontenot gone but you keep him one more year if your not going to let the gm pick his own coach so you can get a good gm and not another Fontenot
No reason to trade unless he asks for it. Dennis could get hurt and then we have the best backup in the league. So what. Make him ask for a trade so that he's on board with it and we can do it in a way though some of the cap. No reason to release a guy when you have to pay them anyway
I am beyond stoked to see if Penix truly is our future!!! and I think this move is going to infuse the passion that has been lacking from the entire team under cousins. Rise the fuck up baby! Let's go dirty birds🦅🦅🦅
No cousins would be a fool to pull the no trade clause. Hes old and wants to play and doesnt want to sit behind penix. Or let him waste his last days behind penix on the bench.
Im just tored of hearing fans bash terry when he gave us bijan drake pitts dalman Bergeron mooney elliss bates tyler AK calais just to name a few give me an example of gms that have had more success in this time frame and if you can name 10 better gms ill agree but until then im looking around the league and the teams having success has alot of veteran talent mixed with 2-3 draft picks thats doing well not at one point 2 top 10 receivers that was getting thrown to by a 1st yr qb on the team blocked for by a line that half of them has been drafted by the same gm he built this offense and we have all seen what they can be its taken awhile but now he can do the same for the defense and im to a point where we see if we have good qb play with penix (big IF) then we can use every draft pick and offseason signing for defense and have a chance to build a dominant team of course we need veteran play callers on both sides of the ball or for lake and Robinson to step up in a big way this offseason but imagine having as much talent in skill positions on defense that Terry has given us on offense and a coaching staff that can use them
I agree with the change of Quarterback from Kirk Cousin to Michael Penix. And I'm sorry but we need a better General Manager. Terry Fontenot needs to go
So let’s forget about Jesse Bates, Justin Simmons (stolen from the Aints mind you), the defensive line help (picks, FA, and trades), drafting the QB that we are now starting…, etc,. Does this suck?? Absolutely!!! Does this mean it’s worth firing him?? I dnt think so. Just my bs tho. If he doesn’t make this roster better moving forward then move on.
Do you forget that TF is the reason this team is better. We had to go get kirk, there nothing out there after Ridder cut. No one co I ld have seen having the opportunity to get Penix.
Terry made us a competitive team and great "on paper" other than Denver teams is not kicking our aases we lose by individuals we need ti just be consistent
We gotta play around Michael Penix Jr style....EASY!!!!..we got A+ defense starting 2025 season. NOW!..we need Moore back asap. But MICHAEL....needs wrs that's tall and extremely fast if they're a short wr. The guy throws the ball 🏈 40+ yards for TD... outstanding 🤘🏾😁🏈💯!....we need 2 pro bowl tall tough TE who can catch in traffic like Vick had with Alge....but most importantly!.... Penix Jr needs tall and very fast wr who can catch in traffic 🚦⛔ and ready for those Randy Moss types of catches 🏈....we got a Barry Sanders already in the backfield...let's go falcons....we definitely 💯 need to fill in the QB positions for 2025 season...need at least 3-4 QBs ready at all times.
I said the beginning off the year and i’ll say it again; if we miss the playoff, terry is out the door. I do think he’s a good GM but they really isn’t finna matter much with these last couple of years of failure
Falcons fans, I'd curb my enthusiasm. Our O-line has been playing lights in the run game. Unfortunately, they've been equally bad in the passing game. Don't get me wrong, I think Cousins has played very poorly, but it's not all on him. Also, the offensive play calling has been pretty bad. We have two RBs who are game changers. Get them the ball in space in the passing game.
No one will trade for cousins Fontenot really messed up when he picked Pitts I was saying this guy doesn’t know what he is doing and then he picked Robertson when we have all the needs on defense we could of gotten the best defensive player out there we already had a runner that was over a thousand a year 😮
Nobody can predict the future we have seen Achilles tears and the players come back and do well and medical treatment gets better every day that being said kirk led the league in most categories through 8 weeks last year and we been in wb hell too long if guaranteed $ was what it took to have a chance of him having that kind of success here nobody can blame fontenot for handing it to him i wont bash terry for trying to make this team better because nobody can hit with every signing.. had kirk judon and Simmons played as good as they had even last season we would be putting terry on a pedestal so for me its not Terry bringing them in its what’s happening to 3 veteran players that have had ALOT of success come here and digress? If it was 1 of em thats the player but all 3 it has to be coaching staff trying to change the way they play instead of using what they have done well to our advantage
I thought it was dumb he drafted penix at the time not so much now yea he took a chance on a vet but how would they know he gonna play like this I'm not mad at Terry just the way the chips fell
I didn’t agree with this take I feel it’s fully loaded but Kirk was worth the money the drop off wasn’t complete his fault and Lenox is still molding so he can become versatile when Kirk hangs it up injury and bad timing messed up our season and the turnovers where just ill placed
Do you agree with the Falcons quarterback change? Yes or No

@@achilles1373you can clearly see the difference by looking at tape
The roster is extremely solid and that’s because of Terry. If Penix comes out and balls out for 3 games, this take is gonna look really bad
If Penix balls out it will look really bad that they didn't start him earlier.
@ oh I agree, but that’s on Raheem, not Terry

fire
only bc of the cap hell he has put us in. That was a live or die move getting Kirk and for Terry it HAD to work
Koo is out for the the szn any idea on who we will see kicking for the rest of the szn?
they signed Riley Patterson
I think it was a collective between Mr Blank,Mckay,Fontino ,And Morriss.
Did the Broncos fire their GM after giving Wilson his deal?
Maybe / after Sunday.

I see Cousins back to himself for Titans next year orrrrr what if Penix sux? Maybe Cousins will get it back next season
Terry only theoretically signed kirk for 25m/yr so it wasnt bad in hindsight
$90 million guaranteed
Falcon’s franchise really needs to investigate further and find out who pulled the Kirk cousins trigger that caused the murdered of all falcons fans. We deserve better, beautiful stadium, amazing fans and good players.
They had to make the move to Penix. We have to get out of this QB curse.
Omg yes 👍🏿

All in on qb change
Penix Time to ✨!!!!!!!! Leggo
Miami is a sneaky team that could possibly want kirk with tua always getting hurt
Kirk can be petty be he has to realize this whole benching is nobodies fault but his own... He had waaaay too many opportunities to correct his play but couldn't get it done.
The only thing that can save Fontenot at this point is Penix balling out
I agree with most of the takes but I could be wrong but terry did bring in bates and he has been worth taking a shot for
Which i did give him credit for
@@FalconsTVLol stopped watching right before, Appreciate the videos this is how I get all my falcons news
If Penix doesn’t get injured for the rest of the season Kirks last time playing in the NFL was last Monday night
its not a huge remaining contract, only would be 27 mill to pay kirk after team traded for him, and giving up a 6th or 5th is not that bad. and also there are many teams that need a QB
Drafting Drake London was a good move
This is probably to show Kirk some tough love instead of babying him I think we’re looking too deep in it
Of course.
Don't know what happened from Kirktober to now. The decline is staggering
Remember that time Blank tried to go all in on Watson???
Thankfully the Cleveland owner is more incompetent than Blank lol!
What kind of gm do you think you’re going to get if you tell the new gm he is going to be handcuffed to Raheem. I want Fontenot gone but you keep him one more year if your not going to let the gm pick his own coach so you can get a good gm and not another Fontenot
No reason to trade unless he asks for it. Dennis could get hurt and then we have the best backup in the league. So what. Make him ask for a trade so that he's on board with it and we can do it in a way though some of the cap. No reason to release a guy when you have to pay them anyway
If we gonna blame TF, blame Authur Blank for signing off on it knowing they would draft his replacement.
I am beyond stoked to see if Penix truly is our future!!! and I think this move is going to infuse the passion that has been lacking from the entire team under cousins. Rise the fuck up baby! Let's go dirty birds🦅🦅🦅
Yes i Do
Raheem would have been fired if he continued to start Kirk
In terry f defense. Look how long they had Thomas dimitroff before they fired him.

I agree with the change of Quarterback from Kirk Cousin to Michael Penix. And I'm sorry but we need a better General Manager. Terry Fontenot needs to go
Fire both Terry and Rich McKay !
No. Penix needs to learn how to mentally work through bad performances by watching how cousins get through these times.
So let’s forget about Jesse Bates, Justin Simmons (stolen from the Aints mind you), the defensive line help (picks, FA, and trades), drafting the QB that we are now starting…, etc,. Does this suck?? Absolutely!!! Does this mean it’s worth firing him?? I dnt think so. Just my bs tho. If he doesn’t make this roster better moving forward then move on.
Do you forget that TF is the reason this team is better. We had to go get kirk, there nothing out there after Ridder cut. No one co I ld have seen having the opportunity to get Penix.
Terry made us a competitive team and great "on paper" other than Denver teams is not kicking our aases we lose by individuals we need ti just be consistent
Yes
Did Terry draft Jalen Mayfield? If so, his job should have been in jeopardy from then on.
We gotta play around Michael Penix Jr style....EASY!!!!..we got A+ defense starting 2025 season. NOW!..we need Moore back asap. But MICHAEL....needs wrs that's tall and extremely fast if they're a short wr. The guy throws the ball 🏈 40+ yards for TD... outstanding 🤘🏾😁🏈💯!....we need 2 pro bowl tall tough TE who can catch in traffic like Vick had with Alge....but most importantly!.... Penix Jr needs tall and very fast wr who can catch in traffic 🚦⛔ and ready for those Randy Moss types of catches 🏈....we got a Barry Sanders already in the backfield...let's go falcons....we definitely 💯 need to fill in the QB positions for 2025 season...need at least 3-4 QBs ready at all times.
There will be a team call for kirk
#falcons anyone else wish kirko stay with the falcons to be Converted into a qb coach or as a Offensive coordinator just a thought
I said the beginning off the year and i’ll say it again; if we miss the playoff, terry is out the door. I do think he’s a good GM but they really isn’t finna matter much with these last couple of years of failure
The whole organization is screwed
Teams don't have film to prepare for Penix. We are going to make defensive coordinators sweat
Falcons fans, I'd curb my enthusiasm. Our O-line has been playing lights in the run game. Unfortunately, they've been equally bad in the passing game. Don't get me wrong, I think Cousins has played very poorly, but it's not all on him. Also, the offensive play calling has been pretty bad. We have two RBs who are game changers. Get them the ball in space in the passing game.
No one will trade for cousins Fontenot really messed up when he picked Pitts I was saying this guy doesn’t know what he is doing and then he picked Robertson when we have all the needs on defense we could of gotten the best defensive player out there we already had a runner that was over a thousand a year 😮
what happens if kirk cousins retire?
Nobody can predict the future we have seen Achilles tears and the players come back and do well and medical treatment gets better every day that being said kirk led the league in most categories through 8 weeks last year and we been in wb hell too long if guaranteed $ was what it took to have a chance of him having that kind of success here nobody can blame fontenot for handing it to him i wont bash terry for trying to make this team better because nobody can hit with every signing.. had kirk judon and Simmons played as good as they had even last season we would be putting terry on a pedestal so for me its not Terry bringing them in its what’s happening to 3 veteran players that have had ALOT of success come here and digress? If it was 1 of em thats the player but all 3 it has to be coaching staff trying to change the way they play instead of using what they have done well to our advantage
Kirk is a contract signing guru
I see when Kirk was playing well, you weren't questioning whether or not Terry needs to be fired🤔 FOH!
I thought it was dumb he drafted penix at the time not so much now yea he took a chance on a vet but how would they know he gonna play like this I'm not mad at Terry just the way the chips fell
I didn’t agree with this take I feel it’s fully loaded but Kirk was worth the money the drop off wasn’t complete his fault and Lenox is still molding so he can become versatile when Kirk hangs it up injury and bad timing messed up our season and the turnovers where just ill placed
Desperation move, we wasted so much money and we got nothing.
Mooney would be a drink there are a few
Kirk would have to do like Russell Wilson did he played so bad
Either way it went for Terry it was gonna be a dumb move if it didn't work
It doesn't matter 28-3.
Fire Terry for making swings and trying to bring in players that he thought would make the team a lot better???
While we at it , trade pitts for draft picks and boost up the defense
He better be fired. He threw the BANK at Deshaun Watson- that's enough for me right there. #FireTerryFontenot
