Atlanta's decision to draft a quarterback in April, shortly after Kirk Cousins signed a $180 million contract, raises significant questions about the team's confidence in him.
Cousins' poor debut included two interceptions leading to field goals and a fumble, prompting concerns whether he can meet the expectations set by his hefty contract.
Despite a rocky start, including only one passing yard in the second half, Cousins' initial performance showed promise before the disappointing turnaround against Pittsburgh.
As pressure mounts, the Falcons might look to Michael Penix Jr as a potential successor sooner than expected, especially with tougher opponents ahead.
