Penix is 23. So he's a year or two older than most guys who come out. But it's not really a deal breaker. Penix has an NFL arm. The only downside is his medical history.
Yeah, this has always somewhat bothered me about drafting an “older” guy.
If the guy has the mechanics and a proven play maker and can throw all the balls, who cares if he is a few years older than the next guy?
Is Caleb Williams or Drake Maye, are they as good currently as, Penix?
If they aren’t as good as Penix is right now, does an NFL team “sit them” for a few years and hope they’ll be as good as Penix is currently?
This “old” QB thing doesn’t make a difference to me. If you can play, you can play, especially, at the QB position.
If a team doesn’t want Penix, and the Seahawks, had a chance, they better draft Penix and then give Penix a capable offensive line….
