    I don’t understand these grown men. Find another team to talk about. The Falcons are fine.
  • @belosworld7077
    He just mad that both quarterbacks for Atlanta is better then the Vikings 😂
  • @AaronWood-zy3mj
    Media after the Giants just paid Daniel Jones $160 million: "The Giants need to draft a quarterback at 6" Media after the Falcons drafted a quarterback at 8 and paid $100 million for Kirk: "The Falcons shouldn't draft a quarterback at 8
  • @FlowTieGuy
    this is why bad franchises who never win anything continue to let good franchises win everything
  • @229bunk
    DAM BRO YOU REALLY MAD THE FALCONS STOLE KIRK COUSINS FROM YOU VIKINGS LOL
  • @gmsimoson
    I could listen to people roast this pick all day. Still baffling a week later.
  • @IAMAMMAFAN
    Bad teams make Bad decisions and this one is a perfect example.
  • @Justinn..
    Disaster??? Yea you’re on Cousins payroll 😂😂
  • Everyone in the entire country who follows football wonders what they're smoking in the front office at Falcons headquarters.
  • @masterroshi1338
    You're the only reason it's a distraction? It's not like the Falcons are bringing it up lol
  • @javiersp15
    As a Buc’s fan, I’m loving watching the Falcons doing dumb things.
  • @KRey112
    lol, and they’re gonna keep talking about. Thank you! Atlanta 😂😂
  • @brob8204
    This situation is getting so much attention. I don't think the Falcons were trying to be smarter than everyone and redo the system. I think they saw what they felt was a generational talent (4 teams tried to move up to get him!) and decided to make a move. Both of these guys have had major injuries, so it makes sense to be an insurance policy for the other, if that makes sense.
  • Mike. Let it go. Kirk is gone. You will be ok. ATL is looking around corners. We good.
  • @15snipa
    I love how these media ppl aren't showing kyle pitts' reaction
  • @ddavidone6538
    Idk I don’t think this was a terrible idea considering Cousins injury and age. No doubt ATL has the best backup in the league
  • @Renix360
    You’ve literally made a video every day this week on this topic. You are actually unhinged!
  • @richedinero
    Yall tryna force nd make this a distraction 😂😂
  • If they were 1 pass rusher away from competing and they did this than fine rake them over the coals But they weren't, there wasn't any single player in Round 1 that was going to instantly fix the Falcons so this whole storyline is for nothing, they addressed there other needs in the later rounds anyways
  • @SnatchBuckler
    Florio doing his best Mike Lupica impression. He's right though 👍
