I can see it now, after every Falcons loss this year “if only they had Dallas Turner!”

But should Penix emerge as a top 15 QB in year 3, 4 or 5 and take Atlanta to playoffs no one will credit the GM. They will still call it a dumb pick while other teams are still wandering the desert looking for “their” QB.

If your are worried about 4 or 5 years from now making the playoffs, correct no one will credit the GM because he would have already been fired. The Falcons were in win now mode with the division being so weak. They need help on defense and instead of drafting the best defensive player in the draft, he took a backup. In the 3 of the last 4 drafts he has taken a TE with the 4th overall pick, and a running back and backup QB with consecutive 8th overall picks.

He needs to win a Super Bowl in one of those years if all he becomes is a top 15 QB. Top 15 QBs who get paid big money don't win a damn thing in the NFL because they aren't good enough to carry the load on offense when their weapons get priced out.

Penix has to become Mahomes level good for this move to work.

And they shouldnt. Again (for the millionth time), the Penix pick in itself wasnt bad. The Penix pick AFTER the Cousins signing and contract was beyond stupid. Just because Penix works out doesn't excuse the process.
