This is why its so stupid.
It has several dimensions of stupid. It's bad for Cousins, it's bad for Penix, it's bad for the Falcons, it's bad for culture. After adding Cousins, they could've turned a fringe playoff team into a legit contender by taking Odunze or Turner. Instead, they did nothing to improve their team in 2024. Sure, I get the succession thing. All for it. But you don't use a top 8 pick for that, given where they are in their window.
I also don't buy that you can say the '25 QB class is weak. It's just way too early to say. 2020 wasn't supposed to be very good either with Jake Fromm and Jacob Eason leading the way. Burrow and Love came out of nowhere. Even this year, Daniels and McCarthy were in nobody's early mock draft a year ago.
Part of me wonders if Cousins regrets moving on. Vikings too would've taken a QB, but they would not have blindsided him like this.
