00:00What do you think the future is for Tua Tug of Iola in Atlanta?
00:04You know, there was something that was set up the other day here.
00:07And, Kyle, people are going like this.
00:09If this guy flops in the first two weeks of the season,
00:12there's talk of even cutting him.
00:14What's the future in Atlanta?
00:16Do you think he lasts the year there?
00:19I'm not sure he lasts the month.
00:21I mean, he got banged up in practice yesterday.
00:23They want every fiber of their being wants Michael Penix in there.
00:27And I'm not sure Penix is the right answer,
00:29but it seems like Tua, if you're asking questions, then he's the answer.
00:32You're asking the wrong questions at this point.
00:35We saw him for one year, 2023, led the league in passing under Mike McDaniel.
00:40Great, but how much of that was scheme?
00:42How much of it was his weapons?
00:44We really don't have any evidence since then that he's an NFL quarterback,
00:48let alone a guy that can take a team to the playoffs in this Atlanta roster around him.
00:52He's probably talented enough in a bad division to make that kind of run
00:56if they get anything average under center.
00:58I mean, I don't want to say he's running out of options, but he's running out of options.
01:02If he doesn't, if this isn't it, he might not be long for the NFL, let alone the Falcons.
01:08I agree.
01:09I think Kevin Stefanski, the head coach or two-time NFL coach of the year,
01:13I mean, there's really got a lot on the table here.
01:15Boy, maybe the issue for Atlanta was they want to get out from Tua and put Michael Penix back in.
01:22And you mentioned you don't really think he's the answer there either in Atlanta.
01:27No, I don't think the answer is on the roster.
01:29Penix might be the lesser of two evils here, and maybe that gets you to eight or nine wins,
01:34and that gets you a playoff berth.
01:35But what is that really accomplishing?
01:37The skill position players are good.
01:39The defense is good enough.
01:40If they can just hit on a quarterback, we'll see.
01:42But I don't think that's in the cards right now in Atlanta.
01:45I agree 100% there.
01:47And when you've got somebody like B. John Robinson in the backfield there,
01:50you want to make sure you get the football in his hands there.
01:53And that guy is one of clearly the best football players in all the National Football League.
01:57You can put him up there with Jameer Gibbs, the kid up in Detroit.
02:00So we shall see what happens.
