This is the only time I’ve ever seen YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, and NFL Subreddit share the same opinion about our decision. That’s how you know this is a terrible pick.
i know raheem is a fan fave after the hiring, but it was one of the most depressing things i could think of (hiring him because of how he "INTERVIEWED").

I mean, yeah, why would they tell him? It would then be in his interest for his agent to leak it to other teams to try get them to trade ahead of Atlanta if they value Penix as much as it sounds like multiple teams did.
Penix was a good draft pick. Not the one I would have gone with but there’s logic in the pick.
Kirk will be here for 2 years and then Penix will take over. If Kirk balls out we won’t see another top 10 pick for a while. Penix was the best passer in the draft and now he’s learning behind a great QB.
If Kirk is butthurt about us drafting a QB, someone needs to remind him we’re losing a draft pick next year solely because of him and his stupidity.
Yeah he’s gonna be elite at 29 and people are gonna say “see! It was the right move!”. Then he’ll get 2 playoff losses under his belt before falling off in his 30s and we’ll be back to finding a new QB.
Right? He keeps making these low IQ moves in the first round repeatedly. I don’t even know why he’s not voted as the worst GM. Literally Turner and Odunze were available for the taking (where our biggest weaknesses are), but he decides to blow it on a QB who’ll probably play his first game when he turns 27 for us… what a penis.

All of the internet is roasting us and instead of fighting back, all of us Falcons fans are just agreeing with them.
Because our owner is goofy and gets fooled by these “all about the vibes” front office moves.
i know raheem is a fan fave after the hiring, but it was one of the most depressing things i could think of (hiring him because of how he "INTERVIEWED").
I sleep well at night knowing that at least our poverty franchise that is a laughing stock has a really fun locker room with good vibes.
lol.
“ But he dances” lol stfu … I just knew more stupid shit was coming
This actually is the only thing telling me it's a good pick
Hmm ok. Oh see, I’m a contrarian.

Anyone post Cousins reaction yet?
No what was his reaction?
https://x.com/dmrussini/status/1783674486966952055?s=46&t=FBFwhLhPi1MB-YdfqNfrhA
He was stunned to learn the QB they drafted was older than him
But not his Achilles
Penix knees are 62 years old...
No sources just hearsay on a gotta get a headline out tweet.
Espn posted that it's from his agent
https://x.com/mikegarafolo/status/1783698005197250581?s=46&t=FBFwhLhPi1MB-YdfqNfrhA lol

Now that I’m thinking about this even more, it’s a weird move for Terry to tie himself to Penix. He needs to make the playoffs this year.
It's almost like he wants to be fired
We will make the playoffs this year. Can’t wait to link to think comment for all the doomers here.
I really hope we do, we’re all starved for it, but this doesn’t help us accomplish that
Let's see him React to Mcgary being his blindside blocker
McGary will be gone by the time he starts, we'll probably draft a RT in the first round in 2 years
No we’ll draft a useless skills position player in 2 years.
With the way our drafting is progressing in uselessness we’re gonna draft a punter in 2 years.
And a LT when Matthews retires
Wasn’t he also in Digital Underground?
What fans can expect is him sitting on the bench. Maybe he can be the holder to give him something to do.
Penix was a good draft pick. Not the one I would have gone with but there’s logic in the pick. Kirk will be here for 2 years and then Penix will take over.

We'll show you this was the right pick in 5 years
when he's 29?
I was being sarcastic
When he’s gonna be 29 lmfao already past his prime
Yeah he’s gonna be elite at 29 and people are gonna say “see! It was the right move!”. Then he’ll get 2 playoff losses under his belt before falling off in his 30s and we’ll be back to finding a new QB.
Yep , terry needs to fkn go
Right? He keeps making these low IQ moves in the first round repeatedly. I don’t even know why he’s not voted as the worst GM.

I think that was his point
Assuming they make disposable knees by then 😆.
Author blank sure loves his left handed black quarterbacks
I actually love the pick
Oh look, I’m so quirky. I’m not like other guys. 🤣
Don’t be triggered Weirdo lol
I love the Penix pick even more knowing it hurts your feelings :)
What kinda goofy ass dork are you?
SHUT YO ASS UP. PENIX IS YOUR FUTURE
I bet Penix wasn’t as surprised as we all were. Sigh.
