Cameras caught an interaction between Falcons owner Arthur Blank and team GM Terry Fontenot, and it does appear that the latter was trying to justify his choice.
Should Penix end up becoming a good QB for the Falcons in a few years, Fontenot will earn some praise, whether he’s still with the team or not. Who knows? He could trade him later on for multiple picks, which would also leave him looking like he knew what he was doing.
Anything else would be disastrous.
The Falcons just signed Cousins to a $180 million contract yet have taken a QB in the first round. Should things work out for Cousins in Atlanta, Michael Penix Jr. will not play next season.
There you have it – the Falcons’ draft decision left everyone scratching their heads, including poor Terry Fontenot and the baffled team owner, Arthur Blank. The awkward camera moment captured the chaos perfectly, making us all wonder if drafting Michael Penix Jr. was just a bizarre dream gone wrong.
