It's funny it took the Vikings 6 years to realize Kirk Cousins isn't the answer. Meanwhile it only took the Falcons only 14 games. On the flip side though Penix Jr must be lighting it up in practice because to me it looks like they're setting him up for failure. I think you should just let Cousins start the rest of the way let the chips fall whether they make the playoffs or not and then next year have a quarterback competition. Give Penix a training camp with the ones

You could make the valid case that they are. It’s a tall task asking a rookie QB to come in while going for a playoff spot.

I guess my question for them is what’s the plan in the offseason unless they’re just going to cut him and eat the cap hit.

Extremely risky move to start a rookie QB this late in the season with playoff implications.
