Football_Bachelor08 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Which of these former Pac-12 QBs will have the better NFL career? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondbull424 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Even though Bo Nix will play under Sean Payton, I like Penix Jr and think him learning from Cousins will accelerate him so that by next season he will be ready to hit the ground running. I can see Cousins get cut or traded if the team feels Penix progresses and I think Cousins might welcome that for the opportunity to go to a place to be the true #1 starting option.

tyler735 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I like Penix a lot more as a prospect, but Nix does have the advantage of being able to play right away whereas Penix won't be able to get his career going until he's pushing 30 years old lol.

Xmad Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Bo Nix is gonna bust harder than me balls deep behind a center on a mistimed snap count. Penix can sit and learn for a year or two barring injuries and pull a jordan love esque career (oh no he'll be 27-28 when he starts) and......? Get your QB prospect when they're available. Win now mode baby, if Cousins gets injured or bombs out, PENIX PENIX PENIX. falcons really shouldn't have drafted a left handed QB named michael though.....bad history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr A W Niloc Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Quarterback Pass Deep Mdim Prsr None | Adj. ADot BTTR TWPR Drop P2SR AT2T Rtng Grad Grad Rtng Rtng | Cmp% Rate Rate Secs | Michael Penix 90.5 93.5 90.9 65.3 92.2 | 74.5 10.7 7.3 2.0 5.5 7.6 2.68 Bo Nix 92.7 95.5 94.7 91.2 91.9 | 85.5 6.8 4.1 1.0 7.0 7.6 2.44 Bo should have a long career doing the easy things really, really well. He won't be fantasy relevant, won't make any Pro Bowls, and won't take his team further or less far than his team takes him. Penix will put up some serious numbers on scoreboards and in fantasy but when is he going to get the chance? I have to assume he's here because the Falcons have little faith in Kirk's timely and full recovery. Right now he's a handcuff in a slightly above average QB situation. Career after Cousins? Like Matt Ryan's, with all its ups and downs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be owed 10 mil guaranteed his 3rd year that can be spread over the last 2 years at 5 mil each. That frees up like 45+ mil in cap space with Penix having 3 years left on his rookie contract of cheap QB cap space to work with. Now as for who i think will have a better career i actually think both of them will do well and thats because of where both of the landed. As for which Qb i liked better i liked Penix a ton more as he was my #2 QB in the draft behind Daniels. Nix i had as a late 2nd to early 3rd round player and my 6th QB in the draft. But i did say if Nix lands in Denver with Sean he was the perfect QB for that system in this draft and he would do very well in it. Since that happened i can't knock on Nix like i would have if he went anywhere else. Edited May 17 by FalconFan13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also need to calm down with assuming because Penix is sitting behind Cousins he is going to somehow be better whenever he starts. That crap has only worked for Green Bay and there are 100 other fails of teams trying to copy it. Edited May 19 by AkronsWitness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't truthfully say he will be better than Kirk because kirk is a really good QB. If Penix ends up being as good or better than him then imo thats a win for sure for the franchise. If you are talking about Penix being better because he sit behind kirk for a year or 2 learning. Then yes he will 100% be a better QB when he takes over than if he started year 1 with no one teaching him things. He will have a better knowledge of the playbook, more reps in the preseason games and in practice in general, and a very smart QB teaching him how to read certain looks plus numerous of other things kirk can teach him.

So cutting him halfway incurs a $25M hit, which can either be absorbed in 2026 or spread out by two in 2026 and 2027. Also has a $10M roster bonus for 2026 that guarantees on the 5th day of the league year in 2025. So that’s another 10. It’s not crippling on it’s own, but it’s not pennies either. Not good business to plan to have $25M allocated for one player to play for another team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nix was a 5th round talent way overdrafted. Penix was at least a first round talent who was taken in the right round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebestever6 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I went Nix for two reasons 1) Penix has had 4 season ending injuries. 2) Nix has done more with less imo. Penix had 3 weapons go 9th, 37th, and 92. Nix top weapon went 102 overall. I just think Nix has a way higher floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Definitely not Nix. Dude sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49erurtaza Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Nix will be good enough to play through his rookie contract but won't be good enough to extend it further. He will always be on the fringe of a team trying to replace him year to year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
