If someone doesn't like being an employee and taking what the job market offers, then they can create something of value of their own and sell it into the marketplace. Then they can control their own work hours. America is good like that

Hour worked, hour paid. There's nothing misleading about that at all.

Average weekly hours for all U.S. private employees is 34.2 hours/week. And it's been that way for 20+ years. So the average U.S. worker already has nearly three 8-hour days off. Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/AWHAETP

Cousins' beef is with the organization that hired him, not with Penix personally. That's pretty clear in everything I've written.

So are we okay with the wealth gap that will created between the 32-hour employees and those who choose to continue to work 40? As well as the wealth gap that will be exacerbated even further with the ones that currently work 50-60+ and ultimately receive the promotions, large performance...

Cousins may be a pro and say the right things, but he will never, ever be "all good" with ATL expending first round resources on his backup when they could have been spent helping him become more successful.

I never said Cousins wouldn't be a pro and do his job. That's completely different than nebulous terms like "all good" and "ok with it" and "pissed and resentful."

No. It's not a possibility. Because as a rule starting NFL QB's want an organization to spend its resources helping them succeed while they are the starting quarterback. Their self-interest is in winning now, not in the future after they're gone.

"Cousins and Penix had a chat and it's all good now." Lol. Too funny.

You mean like creating a QB controversy where none previously existed?

According to World Economic Forum, 21% of potential migrants worldwide named the U.S. as their preferred emigration destination. Next closest was Germany with 6%. Migrants prefer to come to the U.S. because it is (rightfully) perceived as the best place to improve their quality of life. Plain...

Why does the U.S. get by far the most immigrants in the world (more than then next four countries combined)? Are they coming here to not be happy/improve their quality of life?

Nice post. Payton made no secret after the Russ debacle that he was looking for a QB who could process information significantly better and faster. Nix's press conf response to the question, "what makes a good processor" (in the clip below) exactly demonstrates why Payton had him ranked as his...

Because mean is a better measure collective wealth, i.e. the wealth of the entire system. Beyond that I'm not gonna take the political bait. In addition, isn't it a bit misleading to say the US (250mm adults) ranks behind 9 EU countries, when many of those countries don't come close to...

And on the more important mean wealth metric the US ranks 3rd only behind those global economic powerhouses Switzerland and Luxembourg. No other EU countries sniff the US's collective wealth. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/wealth-per-adult-by-country

AD post-game presser: "Jamal Murray made (another) shot" mic drop

Nah. He's talking about Sutton/Russ. It's his style to try and be dramatic.

Broncos beat reporters continue to shoot this down... REPORT: Courtland Sutton is in “good standing” with the Broncos and “there’s no plans to trade him” https://twitter.com/DailyBroncos/status/1785113339351199945?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

Yes. Backup QB's can occasionally be valuable. However, the cost to acquire any of your sample backups was not anything close to Top 10 draft capital. That's the central flaw in the "insurance policy" rationale. The cost was astronomical and the policy only has value in a contingency scenario...

The more germane question is "How does Penix help ATL win a Super Bowl while Kirk Cousins is their starting QB?"
