In 2024, the Atlanta Falcons experienced instability at quarterback, with Kirk Cousins finishing the season poorly and ranking 25th in CBS Sports' quarterback rankings. Despite starting well, Cousins faltered in the last five games of the season. Rookie Michael Penix Jr. saw limited action but performed well enough during his starts to earn the role of unquestioned starter for the upcoming 2025 season. Head Coach Raheem Morris expressed confidence in Penix as a future leader, emphasizing the need for improvement in completion percentage to build on his promising potential.
Cousins was uncharacteristically streaky, sandwiching lifeless duds between monster prime-time spots, said CBS Sports' Cody Benjamin.
His touch and willingness to send the ball downfield at least made Atlanta more of an intriguing watch by season's end, stated Benjamin.
I've got so much confidence in Michael Penix leading us into the future and I believe our whole building does and I believe our fan base does and I believe our owner does, head coach Raheem Morris said.
Cousins' poor run of games landed him at No. 25 in CBS Sports' quarterback rankings.
