I highly doubt it.

Really no reason he shouldn’t be. He makes all the throws for the top program in the nation. Has elite arm talent and ideal size. And he’s already been great and will continue to get better.

They were average last year but had some free agency attrition (Dupree, Campbell, etc) and are a year older. Jarrett is also over 30 and coming off an ACL injury.

This defense has experienced natural erosion with very, very little in the way of addition. They've gone from average to awful and need additions to aspire to average.

Yes we are losing a couple guys but you also aren’t accounting for the improvement of the young guys. I do think Ebeketie and Harrison are on their way to being solid if not very good pieces.

Less than impressed with Atl haul

You also need to account for potential decline of others. Onyemata is on the wrong side of 30. Jarrett is also over 30 and coming off a knee injury.

Also, our DB situation is an absolute mess.

The defense is going to be bad this year. It could be only pretty bad or it could be really bad. But it will be bad.

I dont hate the Penix pick as much as everyone else. The ceiling for the Falcons with Cousins is very likely the Division round of the playoffs. I think Penix with 2 years to prepare and get a proper pro level conditioning can be a good QB. I think thats a good situation for him. If he is good it wont matter than they took him 8th.
