So Atlanta took Penix over McCarthy

I had really wanted Maye during the draft process. He reminded me a lot of Herbert/Allen. Add the fact that KOC wanted him and he was a consensus top 3 QB in a generational draft made me want him as our QBOTF even more. Once that dream died, JJ was my guy. Just loved his moxie and confidence. The only thing that prevented him from being up there with Maye for me was the lack of opportunities in the passing game. I thought that might delay his development, but boy it seems I was way off. 

Here's to hoping a long career in purple for our boy JJ.

This is exactly how I felt and still feel. Penix wilted in the big game and had bad medicals. I personally would have taken the other 5 guys ahead of him pretty easily, and still would.

Ive been on record numerous times,  maye and William i wanted no part of,   daniels I was scared of due to his slight frame,   Penix was my favorite,   but was basically in a box with JJM and Nix.  I would have been happy with any of them.
