Part 5/7:
As Cousins’ performance continues to falter, many speculate about the timeline for introducing Penix into the starting role. While some argue that Cousins could still provide value as a bridge quarterback, the alarming trends observed in his play raise the question: how much longer can the Falcon's maintain this status quo?
Drafting Penix Jr., the oldest quarterback selected in the first round at 24 years old, indicates a long-term strategy. Atlanta seems poised to transition to him sooner rather than later, especially if Cousins’ struggles persist. If Penix can outperform expectations in practice and training, we could witness his debut as the starting quarterback before the current season concludes.
