Michael Penix Jr. has largely made the most of his three NFL starts, with several now questioning why the Falcons didn’t bench Kirk Cousins earlier in the season.
But hindsight is 20/20, and it’s clear things are on the right track at the quarterback position. Following Penix’s breakout performance against the Panthers, head coach Raheem Morris said he expects his young QB to dominate “as long as we will let him.”
The rookie had a message for Falcons fans after Sunday’s 44-38 overtime loss.
“Continue to believe,” said Penix. “We’ve got a lot of talent on this team, a lot of talent coming back. I look forward to a lot of playoffs and Super Bowls here.”
Penix seems to have a high level of confidence in himself as it is, but between the backing of his coaches, his surrounding cast and what he brings to the table, the former Washington quarterback is confident in the future for Atlanta.
