@JarvaseDundy Kirks success was about more than QB play
• Penix wasnt properly developed as a rookie
• OC limited him w/a predictable pistol O
• Kirk thrived once the offense shifted to a vet friendly play-action scheme
Tua isnt worried. But he isn't the future of this franchise, Penix is
Coaches who know how to develop young QBs. Just remember Penix was written off before he got his shot, but he hasn't written back. He's letting his play do the talking
Tua will have to play out of his mind to keep Penix from reclaiming QB1 as he's still rehabbing.
The Falcons are going under center more this upcoming season in their new offensive system. QBs are drilling it, and Alex Van Pelt says its a core part of what they'll be as an offense in 2026 — regardless of who's quarterbacking.
"That's another big thing that we have worked on this year, getting Mike and Tua back under center, because in this system, we love to run the ball from under center," Van Pelt said. "And when we can do that with those guys, it opens up everything in the play action world.
"... (Mike) is getting a good feel for it. We work the drills daily so I can put him through some drill work dropping from under center, which is what he needs after not doing it much last year. I think it is only going to make our offense better when we get our quarterbacks under."

NEW: A Kalshi trader has put $1,577 on Michael Penix Jr. to NOT win NFL MVP this season.
If they are correct, they will win $1,593 for a profit of $16.

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.
@NFL@kan08sei@Raiders The most accurate kicker in college that no one has heard about unless you watched Hawaii Warriors football. He was an absolute machine.
