Re: Saints Almost Traded Up to Draft Penix
Penix has torn his ACL on the same knee twice and had season ending shoulder injuries to the same shoulder twice, both on his right side, which is where he will tend to take direct hits being a left handed qb with his left shoulder back to pass. If RG3 and Alex Analzone had a baby, that baby would be Micro Penis Jr. It probably doesn't matter how talented Penix is, the most likely outcome of his career if he ever plays is injury.
It is mind blowing to my that the Falcons have invested two consecutive first round picks in positions where they already had substantial value invested in a starter they still controlled for many years while ignoring other need positions. Maybe their lousy GM is just obsessed with players whose names sounds like penis, blowjob, arm pit, or a common name for strippers (London). I believe the obsession with how masterfully Green Bay transitioned from Favre to Rodgers to Love is a false premise. The entire thing earned them one ring, and they could have easily also won a ring if they gave Favre or Rodgers more help at other positions. They have a several 13 win teams that came up just short after making those picks. The other result for Green Bay has been and acrimonious relationship with both Favre and Rodgers, with tensions from start to end, as Favre resented drafting Rodgers, Rodgers resented sitting behind Favre, Rodgers resented drafting Love, Love resenting sitting behind Rodgers, and both Favre and Rodgers don't have great relationships with the Packers. All to win one ring over an 18 year period in which they might just as easily have won one or more rings with a different strategy anyway. The Green Bay comparison should also be weighed against cautionary tales. Kurt Warner was coming off a good season and just signed a new contract when the Arizona Cardinals passed on Haloti Ngata to draft Matt Leinart. Warner was supposed to be the present and Leinart the future. Leinart primarily ended up serving as Kurt Warners backup for 4 seasons and never became a regular starter. Two years later the Cardinals lost the Super Bowl by 4 points. https://www.draftsharks.com/fantasy/...penix-jr/34983 |
