1. Because we all saw what happened in Minnesota when Cousins went down

They didn't have a backup QB, and their season was over. Cousins, in my opinion, is an overrated, overpaid underachiever. He's never taken a team far into the playoffs, and his career is definitely waning. With Penix they have a young, talented prospect who they hope can come in if Cousins gets injured, and a few years from now he'll be a reliable starter for them.

I can't bame them for preparing for Cousins' eventual demise even though he hasn't played a game with them yet.

Except you don't draft backups in the first round. You draft your stars in the first. Angleae Apr 2024 #4

Pennix also has enormous disadvantages that I doublt he'll ever be able to overcome. Angleae Apr 2024 #6
