Penix goes #8

Good luck in Atlanta. Lol at people that said he was a second rounder.

 

[Grahamhawker]

I guess that answers that question.

No way in hell that he ever was going to be a second rounder, especially after the crazy combine and proday he had.

 

[NoGain]

Yeah. Penix wasn't going to get beyond the Raiders IMO. This is awesome as a Husky.

 

[Double Tribble]

He's too short. Won't go till round 3. Yada yada...

 

[toffee]

Poor JJ, lol

 

[Spin Doctor]

If anything I wouldn't be surprised if McCarthy dropped out of the first round.

 

[CallMeADawg]

Also love that he went before Nix. Ducks lose to UW again!

 

[Double Tribble]

The look on Penix' face was like he was surprised and didn't really want to go to ATL. Can't say I blame him.

I spent the last couple months hearing how Penix would go 2nd or 3rd round. Nope. #8 and BEFORE McCarthy.

Just sayin

 

[BlueTalon]

Dammit.

You and me both. Glad to see him go top 10. He's a hell of a player.

That was always BS. Penix had the arm talent no one else quite had. Somebody was going to step up for that.

Penix had skyrocketed into the top half of the first this past week, but I did not see #8. I like Howell, but if we were going to take a QB, I would have been happy with Penix.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yep. He can do it all.

 

[bluengreen]

Happy for him, he was a great Dawg.

 

[SonicHawk]

I can’t believe he went to atlanta

Well they do spend money there and he has a pretty good Mentor in Cousins to learn from, won't be in the weather consistently which will help his game also. Now the coaching staff looks like it will use a Rams type offense and Morris being a defensive coach he isn't in a bad place. Cousins is the one now that has his days numbered. He now is a place holder till Penix is ready.

The weather thing I think is a really poor take. The game in Corvallis wasn't just some weather. It was literally like playing underwater. It was a significant downpour. Even with that, he was hitting guys dead to nuts accurately, they just couldn't catch it.

Over 15 years cold weather wears a guy down, he will be able to be comfortable most the time unless he goes on the road. He can play in cold and rain we already know that, but given a choice would you rather be on a beach or on a iceberg.
