as a Lions fan i was happy to see Arnold go to Detroit... but sad to lose this bet, i was on it too.
WTF are the Falcons doing?? If you're gonna draft an "old" (24) QB, the one who seems most pro-ready to start now... why sign Cousins for $100M? Why not get a cheaper Minshew type of bridge QB veteran who you can ditch after a few games once the rookie is ready? makes ZERO sense. they need help on D... they have a new defensive-minded head coach... they had EVERY defensive player available to them, as the first 7 picks were all offense.
i could MAYBE understand it if they drafted a mid-round "project" QB to groom behind Cousins. but at 24-year-old at #8 overall?? they are just a dumb franchise.
