Latest News: Vikings Fans Troll Falcons for Starting Kirk Cousins Over Michael Penix Jr……….
NFL fans were left puzzled after the Atlanta Falcons announced Kirk Cousins as their starting quarterback over rookie standout Michael Penix Jr. The move sparked a wave of trolling from Minnesota Vikings fans, who are all too familiar with Cousins’ rollercoaster career.
Cousins, a former Vikings quarterback, had several productive seasons in Minnesota but was often criticized for inconsistent performances in clutch situations. With Atlanta opting for the veteran over the highly-touted Penix Jr., Vikings fans couldn’t resist taking shots at the Falcons on social media.
Many fans joked that the Falcons were doomed to experience the same frustration they endured with former quarterbacks. Others sarcastically thanked Atlanta for giving Cousins another starting opportunity, suggesting it might benefit their favorite team indirectly.
Meanwhile, some Falcons supporters were disappointed, believing Penix Jr., a dynamic prospect from the University of Washington, deserved a shot at starting after a strong preseason showing. They argued the team should invest in the future rather than relying on an aging veteran.
As the NFL season unfolds, only time will tell if Atlanta’s decision pays off—or if Vikings fans will continue to relish Cousins’ new chapter from afar.
