Kirk Cousins officially benched for rookie Michael Penix

[Remote]

I'm surprised by this.
I guess if you only put up 15 points against the Raiders without Maxx Crosby, you deserve to lose your starting role.

 

[b. woods]

you can’t have these non mobile Qbs like Kirk and even trash ass Derek fukkin CAC who have talented Running backs, dope ass receivers getting held back because dudes like kirk and CAC are really backups

Robinson, london and pitts should be traded for JAGs and "Random #s"

Fixed, pleihboi.

They paid Kirk Cousins $94 million for 14 games



Arthur Blank is gonna want answers

Kirk get to sit at xmas time and get paid..

His agent like

You gave the man $100 million guaranteed. Ride the shyt out and let the chips fall. What's the purpose of starting Penix right now? To save your season. That's a tall task to ask a rookie Qb. Or maybe it's to see what you have in Penix? Three games is not enough sample size to see that.

Penix is the QB of the future. It's not 3 games to see if he's good

Raheem wants to make the playoffs and Kirk sabotaging that plan. A HC supposed to play the player that gives the team the best chance.

Sidenote: we really don't make a big enough deal about the Falcons picking Kyle Pitts one pick before Ja'Marr Chase

 

[Harry B]

Old white men that underwent acl surgery are probably done forever after this season

 

[bigde09]

Kirk robbed another franchise

100 million guaranteed and will he actually want to go back in if penix fukks up

Giants are trash, but they still play decent defensively

Imagine if he lights up the Giants after they passed on him. Would make them look even worse this season

Now this is the type of shyt that should get someone fired. fukk the bullshyt

 

[the next guy]

It might be over for Kirk. Only the Giants might take him.

 

[MVike28]

Brehs saying the Vikings fukked up by keeping Kirk as long as they did like this version of Kirk is anywhere near the version he was with the Vikes.

Also he was Spielman the old GM's free agent pickup, Kwesi the new GM came in and ate 2 years because we had no alternative but you could tell he wanted to get rid of them the first chance they got.

Physically he is completely shot.

He has zero mobility now, can barely run to hand off the ball to Bijan, has no zip on his passes, and condensed the playbook for a team with a two headed RB monster the fact that they don't do QB rollouts, and have his statue ass in shotgun barely able to shift in the pocket is nuts.

Falcons were openly committed to having Penix sit and watch this season.

I would understand if the Falcons were playing out the string and wanted to give Penix a taste going into 2025.

But they are 7-7 in the thick of the division race with a manageable last three games. You aren’t doing Penix any favors trying to learn how to play the position at the NFL level at this point in time. I would think the veterans on the team would prefer riding it out with Cousins with a chance at the postseason than an unknown.

The same veterans who saw him have 0 td's to 8 int's in 4 straight losses? You think the skill position players want him starting when he can't get them the ball? The locker room doesn't give a damn about him because he sucks. Penix is mobile and can open up the playbook. He gives them the best chance to win and should've been starting weeks ago. Kirk can barely move and hasn't recovered from the Achilles injury.

They should be winning the division outright not needing a Tampa collapse to back into the playoffs.

Sidenote: we really don't make a big enough deal about the Falcons picking Kyle Pitts one pick before Ja'Marr Chase

And Sewell, Surtain II, and Micah. Taking a TE at #4 is insane especially since they were going to need a QB change. Why draft Pitts with no one to throw to him?

 

[King Poetic]

Kirk will be traded elsewhere get a contract restructured and eat away another franchise for a check

Dumb fukk should have stayed in Minnesota

 

[Rekkapryde]

nathan peterman type qbing

The Peterman had his own theme song before he was even born.
