Cousins stunned Falcons took Penix

Compared to who?
Williams, Maye, McCarthy, Nix?

He is probably more closer to starter status than most others in the draft. He just didn't get the 2023 fanfare like the others.
I’d take him over them for sure. I was never a fan of McCarthy, Maye needs more experience, Williams has more raw ability in his game but I’m not sure his head is screwed on correctly, IDK what to think about Nix.

Penix isn’t ready to start right now and it doesn’t matter, barring injury he’ll be sidelined for at minimal 2 years

I guess you can say thinking about the future as you did earlier, but it makes no sense. You don’t pay that much for a QB and not think about winning now. It’s a pick that literally doesn’t make sense based off the moves they made prior.
