Michael Penix Jr. Has Been Named the Falcons' Starting QB With Atlanta Still in the Thick of a Playoff Race

What a year it’s been for the Atlanta Falcons.

They gave Kirk Cousins $180 million in the offseason right before drafting Michael Penix No.

I love this beautifully stupid franchise.

If we’ve seen Cousins’s last start in a Falcons uniform, what a ride it was.

Whatever you want to say about Kirk, you might’t say he didn’t keep you on your toes.

And best-case, he comes in and lights it up to lead the Falcons to the playoffs.

It’s pretty much all upside.

Let’s see what the rook’s got, I guess.

We hardly knew ye.
