Jeudy is having a good season, but many of us would have baulked at paying him $17M+ for 2+ years. The trade picks weren't worth much but i'd hate to give up picks for the opportunity to overpay a player. By all means laugh at the Jets, but did the Browns really come out ahead?

Overpay a player? Likely he'd get a lot more on the open market in the offseason. Last I looked he was 4th in receiving yardage and up there in yards/rec, as well. With a bad QB and his backup.

To answer your question, yes.

I stand by the position that the Falcons were right to select Michael Penix. I'm a Kirk guy but this team with Kirk Cousins was not winning the Super Bowl. Sure they were picked to win a terrible division but just getting into the playoffs is not enough, this is not the NHL where a low seed can and has won a ring. By signing an old Kirk Cousins who was coming off a major injury they have now nuked their cap and they can't improve a pretty good team that with the right QB could have made a run next year.

I’m a die hard Falcons fan and I 100% agreed with the Penix selection - the mistake was giving Cousins a huge deal. We needed a new franchise QB and Penix was awesome in college, arguably my favorite of the QBs in last year’s draft, I liked the Penix selection from the start, and it became especially clear over the last few weeks that Cousins just wasn’t going to get the job done. In order to contend for a title you have to have a strong franchise QB, and you have to draft pretty high in order to get that usually and you never know when one will be available, so I liked the Penix pick from the start, and Cousins play in his last few games proved the Falcons were correct to take Penix.

The very same people who were trashing Kirk for years for not getting it done in the big moments were praising the Falcons for signing Kirk Cousins because that meant they were now the favorites to win a terrible division with a record a game or 2 above .500. LOL. They were never going to the Super Bowl even if Kirk had played as he had always played and he was completely healthy. Now the Falcons are talking about releasing him and taking a massive cap hit.

The mistake they made was not drafting Michael Penix, it was the signing of my boy Kirk Cousins.

Some of us didn't like either decision. Although in that case I see the point of redundancy at the QB spot. Cousins was notably worse this year than previous years. Base expectation was that a healthy Cousins was worth maybe 2 years but there was no guarantee that was going to happen and it didnt.

The NFL did seem to be higher on Penix than McCarthy and Nix, though, but Nix has played extremely well so far
