In the days and weeks ahead, we’ll have ample time to dive into the decision to start Michael Penix and what it means for everyone from offensive coordinator Zac Robinson to former starting quarterback Kirk Cousins. We’ll also be able to talk, based on the next few weeks, about what kind of promise Penix is showing and what the Falcons might do in 2025 to surround him with the right talent. He is, as of now, the franchise quarterback, and the Falcons are hoping to get that one right for the first time since drafting Matt Ryan way back in 2008.
