QB Michael Penix Jr., ATL (3 Viewers)
- Thread starter Faust
- Start date
[Schefter] Falcons QB Michael Penix suffered a potentially season-ending knee injury during Sunday’s loss to the Panthers. Penix will be seeking a second opinion, but it is not encouraging.
[Schefter] Michael Penix suffered season-ending ACL tears to his left knee in both 2018 and 2020 in college. He also missed a game this season in Week 8 after sustaining a bone bruise to that same knee in Week 7. And now this latest injury could sideline him for the rest of the 2025 season.

Sure seems that way. They fell in love with his profile otherwise, which happens, especially with QBs.

Quite the rollercoaster pick. Most were baffled by it when they just hugely overpaid Cousins, then when Cousins flopped, many touted the pick and continued doing so when he played reasonably well down the stretch last year and were optimistic this year. I guess the truth is somewhere in between, but more so of a reach.
Hard to say his injury history plays into it though because guys get hurt all the time - even those with clean histories.

The standard two?
Honestly I could make an easy list of reasons why he should never have been picked as high as he did and I'd not have injury history as the top of why it was such a bad pick, but it would be on the list.
If Arthur Blank is halfway awake I can't see a scenario where the front office or coaching staff is back ,even if svengali Rich McKay is whispering in his ear. Between the money and draft picks spent on Cousins/Penix and the first round pick they sent to the Rams looking like a top 5 overall pick these type of boneheaded decisions can't be tolerated.

I've always heard that if you have two quarterbacks you have none, but Falcons seem to be taking that way too literally
He just got done with about a season's worth of experience.
That's a pretty good start and maybe onto a pretty good career in the least.
Don't let memories of Vick and Ryan spoil ya Falcons fans. He did better than most rookies do. Ya gotta see what year "two" is like
