[QUOTE="sschind, post: 1033939, member: 10247"] No they aren't now but in two years they could be and its better to have your QB in place and not have him be one of the 1 or 2 pieces you need. From most things I've read about the only real knock on Penix is his age. With 2 years of polishing if he becomes the starter at 26 and plays at a high level for 10 years or even more its not a bad deal. Cousins may make them a playoff team partly by virtue of their division, and a different pick or even 2 this year would have helped that but they won't be a SB contender. Some people argue to build your team and then cap it with a franchise QB many of these bad teams picking QBs are doing it the other way around. The problem with the latter is your QB may take a beating in the first couple of years hurting his development. The problem with the former is you got your team and now you've got a rookie QB who may take a few years to develop. The way the Falcons (and the Packers despite the differences) did it was to get their QB and develop him WHILE building their team. Dont get me wrong, its still a questionable choice but all in all I don't think its as bad as some are making it out to be. Edit:. You replied to slacker while I was writing this and I noticed the "its not when you get your star QB". And I do agree if you can get one, but I do think its better to get a guy sooner rather than later if you really think he is the guy. [/QUOTE]
