[quote]are forgetting one important factor… Penix is like glass…[/quote] Which is why he was available at #8. He has been completely healthy the last 2 years with massive numbers. It’s a high upside/ceiling pick without having to trade away multiple first rounders to move up into a top 3 position...
[quote]Not to mention, Penix will be 25-26 at the earliest when he takes the reins.[/quote] God forbid if a #8 pick turns into a franchise qb for the next 10-12 years. The age talk is so overstated and won’t matter until 10+ years from now....
[quote]You’re burning at minimum 1 year of a first round rookie QB contract, more likely 2. The most valuable thing in football, gone for a portion.[/quote] This is how I used to view the pick. But rookie QBs so rarely play well. So are you really burning a cheap year if that year doesn’t give yo...
[quote]You have to hit on a top 10 pick, they should be year 1 starters, and if they aren't it's a quick way to get shite canned[/quote] So why are we already assuming Penix won’t be a hit any more than another player they could have picked? He doesn’t have to start year 1 to be a success at a pos...

[quote]I think those expecting Bama to fall off a cliff are going to be disappointed. Bama still has more talent then every other team in the nation with the possible exceptions of UGA and OSU. Deboer is excellent at coaching players on his roster and he's left with more talent than he's ever had ...

[quote]And you'll be the first one to say when DeBoer is winning that "oh, he's winning with Sabans great players"[/quote] This is the part I want to get clear before the season starts so we can keep the same argument after knowing the season’s outcome. Are these Saban’s players that DeBoer inher...
[quote]That’s a hell of a lot of assumptions and hypotheticals to burn $100m and an 8th overall pick on. [/quote] Every 1st rounder is a hypothetical. Had they taken Dallas Turner, he is a hypothetical. But if Penix turns out to be a franchise player, he is obviously worth the #8 pick and Cousin...
[quote]You're assuming the falcons, who just missed the playoffs in a bad division with a bad defense that just paid an old qb with a torn Achilles AND used their 1st rd pick on a qb will be a "playoff contender in 2026" with a qb that will be 26 with most likely little to no nfl game experience? T...
[quote]Do you even see what you've written?[/quote] Assumptions are what every NFL team makes decisions based upon. If anything, this situation is insurance for if assumptions don’t work out....
Lets say Cousins plays 2 years at a similar level to his Vikings career, as expected. And let’s also assume that 2 years comfortably learning an NFL system does in fact make Penix a better QB than throwing him into the fire year 1, and he is ready to go as a playoff contending starter in 2026. Let’s...
[quote]Yeah let’s move the SECCG to nearly the farthest west outpost on the edge the conference footprint instead of keeping it within manageable driving distance of 80 percent of the schools and their fans. Because Texas, or something.[/quote] I get the sentiment and as an Alabama fan living in ...
[quote]I'm terms of overall talent and actual QB play, only Caleb is better IMO. And 3 teams wanted to jump into the top-10 to draft him.[/quote] And the Falcons didn’t take the huge draft haul to improve the defense? Now it looks even worse. ...
[quote]I like what the Falcons did. They essentially locked up their QB situation for the next 10-15 years.[/quote] If Penix turns out to be great, of course this was smart. But the odds of a player considered to be the 4th-6th best QB in the draft being a franchise QB are incredibly low. In a no...
[quote]Penix wasn't lasting till the 2nd. [/quote] So you let some other QB desperate team reach for him. Or even better, land an extra 1st or 2nd rounder and trade back with a desperate team....
I could maybe support Drake Maye at #8 if he happened to fall that far. A project with #1 overall talent who needs a couple years learning from a veteran. But not Penix. The frustrating part as a fan is the Falcons got insanely lucky. There was such a QB frenzy that our #8 pick was essentially t...
People keep comparing this to the Rodgers/Love situation but what made those moves smart is Green Bay had QBs expected to be top 5 picks fall all the way to them in the last few picks of the 1st round. They got great value. The Falcons reached for a guy most considered as a mid round talent as if th...

I’m pretty sure she answered it exactly as it was asked. They are about to have a beach house in Ponte Vedra. That’s coming a long way from Baton Rouge. ...
If Cousins was not brought in to win now, then why bring in an old QB on a mega deal? Draft Odunze or Dallas Turner and try to win a Super Bowl in those 3-4 years you have him. 3 straight #8 picks and we have a backup Qb on the bench, a running back we don’t need, and Drake London who is good, not g...
Horrible pick. You build franchises off 3-4 years of a QB on a rookie deal, not starting him for the first time the year before you have to decide whether to pay a huge deal or lose him to free agency. Unless this is a draft and trade, I can’t understand it. If you believe in Penix that much, trade ...

re: Why Did We Let Texas In?

UT administration, just like the administration at virtually every university in America, would probably prefer to be aligned with the B10/AAU circle jerk. But the people who fund UT, the Texas legislature, is as SEC as it gets. ...
